Boxing is for people who don't have educational backgrounds

[*2TOUGH*]

Completely! And even though there are exceptions, you know what they say the exception doesn't make the rule.

My amateur boxing trainer used to tell me that Boxing is for the poor. Poor people are often uneducated.

Exactly.. its very primitive. People who get into trouble and cant focus there mind turn to boxing. You always hear about the 'new' gym that opened in a rough neighbourhood, and how the kids love it. So the kids can't focus there minds and turn to boxing as they will never be educated.

i wont diss anyone but it is true.

educated people have other thing that are more important to fight for us boxing is a hobby not a job

There is no dis*****g that you don't need school education to be a successful prizefighter. It certainly doesn't mean that there aren't some highly intelligent boxers though. Boxing is a tough way to make a living and generally people with better options don't choose to make the sacrifices it requires to be successful at the highest level of the sport.

To make it to the top you need sufficient brain cells to navigate the tricky business pitfalls and put yourself in a position to get paid your just due. I am constantly impressed with the business savvy of some fighters who can see through the BS from promoters with far better educations to not get undersold.

Hey, if you love it and are good at it, why wouldn't you want to get paid to do what you love?

There's a boxer who was studying for a law degree or something, I think it was Diaz or Rock Juarez, not sure.

Anyways who needs education when you're making money in the sport you love.

education is about enrichment and self improvement as much as a way of social mobility. Pac wants to be a lawyer I believe, he has a lot of study ahead, I doubt his millions will deter him from achieving his goal.

His teachers and classmates shout and ask to take pictures with him when he enters the classroom. He spends more time signing autographs then doing homework. Do you think he has to work for his grades?

a valid point ... but the fact is that MOST fighters rely on a 'manager' or and 'promoter' to deal with the business end of things.

"Boxers tend to be dumb and not every intelligent, most professional boxers do not study or have degrees and if they do its likely to be a 3rd class piece of crap. Boxing is for limited people, yes it involves skill and brains but they tend to be ******."

Do you agree?

There is a difference between intelligence and knowledge.
