What I meant was that for a celebrity to care about the little guy is easy- they aren't the little guy. They can say in an interview they give a **** but when everything about Jermain Taylor is worth tons of money he probably isn't quite connected with Joe Schmoe. He wants asses in seats for his success, or pride- he doesn't really care about how much the seats cost. If he makes $500,000 for a fight...how many people here make that much in a year? He can do that for 6 months work...so why not fight for free every once and awhile? Ridiculous- yet possible. If he really cared deeply about our wallets. Point is, he probably makes more than what I said per fight and yet isn't offering to fight for free or begging to be on regular HBO over PPV. He still wants his money.
HBO and Promoters want money, no one will run a free title fight, it just couldn't happen. HBO wants its cut, promoters its, everyone needs the money. Just be happy a boxer is actually giving a **** about the fans instead of nitpicking.
