    I don't know about the rich part. I hear that the only reason Barerra is fighting again is because he's running out of money. Castillo also can't retire because he's flat broke. I think the same is for Morales. He admited after the Diaz fight that he was getting buzzed by head shots. The only reason that a fighter would continue and risk long term serious injuries is cuz he's running out of cash. Its sad how some the eras greats are forced to keep going cuz of financial reasons. Look at poor Holyfield.

      No idea why Barrera would be out of money... he is a lesser partner of Golden Boy I think.

      Castillo is broke because Corrales's **** of a wife sued him for everything, even when her hypocritical ******* of a husband did the exact same thing when he fought the third time against Casamayor. ****ing ridiculous. That incident makes me hate Corrales, as a fighter, person etc.

      I also don't know why Morales would be out of money, but it might be true, since he is coming back apparently.

          Yeah Barrera certainly isn't out of money and i doubt Morales is, Castillo is still in debt since like five years ago.

          Morales has never lived in luxury and manages his money well from what i know, pride and the love of boxing brings fighters back to the ring.

              Barrera is no longer with Golden Boy. Morales lives in a mansion is Chula Vista. Thats a very high end suburb of San Diego. Pride and love of boxing are not enough for someone to put their lives at risk. Looking at Yory Boy Campas; brain dead but broke, so he's still trying to do the only thing that he knows,

                At the end of his career why not spend the riches he earned? throughout his career though he hasn't lived in luxury and has managed his money well, at least that's the impression he gave multiple times and it would be pointless to lie about.

                Plus its not far from impossible to be poor when you're as marketable as he is.

                Passion for the sport is enough to keep people in the ring though, when its what you love and all you have ever done in life its hard to let go, look at Hopkins, Holyfield and Jones.

                  Oh and Barrera only recently split from GBP to open his own promotional company, no doubt he made his money from GBP and had he not, it wouldn't have been smart to split.

                    Does he need money?, why would he choose a comeback against such a tough opponent..I agree that jmm would destroy him
