Comments Thread For: Jared Anderson Is Here For a Good Time, Not a Long Time

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Get in, get the money, and get out. Jared Anderson believes he's already writing the perfect script for his boxing career. Collecting world titles is normally the first thing that comes to the mind of an up-and-coming fighter. They dream of shining their newly won belt with the cleanest rag they can find, throwing that glimmering belt over their shoulder, and boastfully sticking out their chest as if to say, job well done.

A lot of fighters had similar plans but few stay the course. Money is addictive, the more you get the more you want. If Jared is successful it's going to be difficult leaving with so much money still on the table. If he isn't successful, it's going to be hard leaving with so little money.

No hunger in that statement, burnout with a padded record? He wants a Charles Martin vs Joshua type pay day then wants to bail out.

Walk this earth like a god is hungry and wants to eat at the table again so this could be the end of another hype train tonight.

cool. now I know not to pay him any attention. it'll all be a let down in the end. thanks for being honest. its like when Joshua said he wanted to model his career after Mayweather. haven't watched him since then. I love honesty

I feel like so many fighters say this when they are young. Then they have setbacks or get bored in life and suddenly they’re in their 30s still fighting. Hard to find many fighters who actually retired wealthy in their 20s and never came back.

You are an astute student of human nature.

Hopefully he does exactly what he says, which would mean he could retire healthy as well as wealthy.

Only one I can really think off is naseem hamed. He retired at 28 never came back and he made good money in boxing obviously he was a big name here in the UK but then he put it into the property and is still wealthy today because of it

Honest assessment from the young man but 1) for a fighter, the mental is important. A hungrier fighter with close to his talent level can derail the plan and 2) Fighters don't get paid on titles or championships; they get paid on how many people want to watch them fight. This kind of statement doesn't increase that number - might even decrease it.

if anderson is ever fool enough to step into the ring vs arslanbek makhmudov he will get his wish an early retirement
