Name fighters that fought purely for money (ie. they hated boxing)

[T-97]

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

He did, he became a dancer for a while but that only lasted for a bit. Once the novelty wore off he wasn't that good, so had to go back to boxing.

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

Ray didn't "hate" boxing, but after he killed the guy he didn't enjoy fighting anymore. For obvious reasons..

Okay, he didn't like boxing and was only doing it for the $$ at the end of his career.

I just read up on that, it's crazy how he had a dream about killing him before the fight!

At the end he probably was. He lost a lot of money from businesses going bad and stuff, If I remember correctly. It's a shame, apperntly he was never the same after he killed that guy.

Yea, crazy as hell. He dreams he will kill him, some people persuade him it won't happen and then it does. ****in' wierd.

Yes, it was quite tragic. Unfortunately it's part of the game that we love..

To me, what is more tragic is the fact that the guy would have lived. If promoters and that lot hadn't persuaded Ray to fight.
