He has profited sure but it was genuine. He was talking about his mental health long before the Wlad fight.
A big thing with young fighters today or anyone in general Is I don’t think everyone is equipped to deal with what it takes to be a famous person today, Or even relatively well-known.
In the past you could be famous but detached from the public, now you have your name plastered all over social media non stop every day and everyone has an opinion about you, often negative and it’s visible to yourself and everybody. You can never escape it, everyone has a voice. You could remove your social media but people are still there talking about you either way. It’s a constant stream
I don’t think some people are mentally equipped for that. A lot of people actually.
yes, Fury did talk about suicidal depression when he was real young. he was saying 'one min im fine and the next i want to kill myself'.
my issue with it is that he's absolutely used and abused it. he just won't stop. now he's got fat andy on it and ryan garcia etc. they will all release self-help books later and make money. mark my words andy ruiz will have a self help book one day
"jehhh maynn...hard wurk, dejicayshunz"
i hate andy ruiz man, can't stand the sleazy talking weirdo. i dont understand how mexicans like him. he's so fkin weird.
My fear is that these ****ing fighters are doing it for publicity, which totally devalues the real issues with mental health.
Following the Tyson Fury model, who has almost certainly profited from his demons.

He's taking time off for mental health.

Middleweight prospect Austin “Ammo” Williams says he’ll be taking some time to take care of his mental health and wellness. This comes one week after Ryan Garcia withdrew from fight with Javier Fortuna to focus on mental health. Health is always first!

please make it smaller so i cant see it properly please.
Do people not realize that Ammo Williams is upset with the pay he is getting? He is flaming on Hearn about what he said he’s worth. .
I don't think this is about pay boss...Ammo needs the type of prayers that we are giving Ryan Garcia right now.

I haven't seen or heard anything about "Retiring" or any of this stuff, provide links or something but yes the fight is off! Maybe just too fast of a turn around for Ammo after a physical fight with Douglin in which he did take some big shots during that fight. To jump right back in after that fight in May Seems way too fast after a fight like that.

Do people not realize that Ammo Williams is upset with the pay he is getting? He is flaming on Hearn about what he said he’s worth. Many boxers are undergoing pandemic protocol for paycuts and I guess guys like Ammo Williams can’t handle the pressure for the money he’s getting or being told to be getting while under Matchroom.
with all the drama of high profile boxers complaining about pays or splits it’s natural that a talent like Austin Williams feels this way.
he’s going through the Mikey Garcia effect and many before under Top Rank. The difference is that Austin is venting early and over-evaluating himself too much for noise he hasn’t accomplished yet. This is reasonable because Ammo is a very good fighter and has potential as a contender, easily. He probably thinks he’s top 10 without a doubt. Therefore, he wants to be compensated with purses before the pandemic. Eddie is saying it’s not possible, and that’s the nature of his contract and won’t settle for less. That’s the reason why he’s venting hard and losing it. With post BLM, new shootings, pro LDBC, covid… many are losing their mind and these are vital years (age) for a boxer to get proper fights..
Well he seems to be acting strange too, not just venting about his worth
but if it is about that, he’s obviously overestimating his value. He’s still an undercard fighter lower down on the bill right now.
Also, say what you want about Hearn, You almost never hear any complaints from fighters he’s worked with regarding payment and contracts. He seems to be very straight in that respect.
if Ammo does have complaints, he should deal with it professionally with his team, rather than act difficult in public, attacking the promoter on social media and probably burning his bridges before he’s even achieved anything.

Looks like he has had some kind of a breakdown if I go by his Instagram. Posting that he's the Black Panther, painting it in pink on walls, and somthing about sacrificing himself. All up on his story. I hope he's alright and just trolling or something
