MAB's father is a doctor if I'm not mistaken. And he's a college graduate who studied law. I'm not sure if he got his degree or not
Marco Antonio Barrera comes from a privileged background by Mexican standards. His father is a backdrop designer for television, and Barrera dropped out of law school at the University of Mexico in his hometown of Mexico City to concentrate on his boxing career nine years ago. Growing up, Barrera chose boxing over soccer, to the dismay of his parents.
Well a lot of boxers come from good families, Tyson Fury's family is good. Tyson Fury has admitted that his upbringing was not a massive chaotic struggle, all he did was box. 'Family was always around him'.
David Haye came from a good family, Frank Bruno, the list goes on.
Amir Khan?
Pretty sure he's just from a working class family in Bolton.
Maybe I misunderstood the question. Rich/Good, I interpreted as either or, or both. Not rich but at least middle class. Seems like most fighters are literally fighting their way out of poverty.
I've always wondered about George Groves. He's from Hammersmith which is a pretty decent part of London, but it does have a few rough estates here and there. But he's pretty well spoken and doesn't strike me as a guy that grew up rough. So i often wondered if he was from the nicer parts of Hammersmith.
The Pacquiao son thread & a Foreman video on hunger has me wondering.
Eubank Jr.?
Algieri?
L. Ali?
Beibut Shumenov.
Dude's a lawyer and millionaire businessman independently of his boxing career. Parents started out working / middle class but his father used political connections to make a shedload of money after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
