Comments Thread For: Jared Anderson: I'm Not In This For The Legacy; I'm In This For The Business

But the fans that pay to watch boxing care about the best fighting the best and legacy. Not about a fighter’s wallet.

Seems like competing interests.

The fans aren't paying to see this guy...he's not even a ppv fighter. I doubt he gets very far..

No wonder Charles Martin almost knocked him out then. He's going nowhere.

Remember Spence being all into the money going into the Crawford fight?

The boys that are there for a paycheck only get destroyed.

Ugh. This guy gets more cringe every fight. Top Rank has got to find some fighters somewhere. Sheesh.

Smart attitude Big Baby. If you were in it for legacy and engaged in tough fights, these idiotic fans would turn on you as soon as you lose. They can’t be satisfied. So forget them, self preservation while making money is key. Smart attitude!!!!!!!!!

The next Berlanga from TR… he’s not strong enough mentally for this game, and his skills aren’t nearly good enough to overcome this fact.

Also, he’s not that big for a heavyweight.

TR already showed they don’t believe in him by refusing to reschedule the Kosso fight

It's an Old School Training Strategy: "Bum of the Month." Very successful for Mike Tyson! Tyson had 15 fights in '85, 12 fights in '86, the last one being Trevor Berbick for the WBC Title, at age 20!!!

This is so refreshing to see. I wish more boxers would just own it. I’m way more upset with guys talking about legacy and going on to fight walking punching bags. Also both ideas can be done at the same time. Spence and Crawford had a legacy fight and made a boat load of money too

He said he’s broke in that interview too. Jared, Shakur, and Keyshawn need to jump off that sinking ship before it’s too late.

The fans care about one thing and one thing only: seeing someone get knocked out.

Fans are fickle, and legacy is subjective. Make the most money; fight whoever you want; and the fans will pay to see what they want to pay to see. When the venue is closed, and the lights are turned off, no fan cares about what happened; they care about what will happen next.

Ignore these fans and their P4P lists. That is something for them to entertain themselves with. But the boxer must put the interest of the boxer in first place, or end up like most boxers, a shell of yourself and disgraced.
