      Taylor hates boxing? I do remember him saying he doesn't watch boxing much to begin with.

          Yeah he only fights for the money. I think they stated this in the Taylor-Wright pre-fight.

              Ray Robinson didn't like fighting, he gave it up to pursue a career as a dancer but returned for the money I believe.

                Taylor has said he likes to box, but isn't a huge fan of the sport, if that makes sense... he wants to do it, not watch it so much.

                So yeah, he obviously fights for money (his statement after the Spinks fight made that obvious -- "I'll fight the best fight for the most money") but he doesn't HATE boxing.

                    Yes, Sugar Ray Robinson has been quoted saying that he hated boxing.
