It all normally starts with a dream. That dream manifests into opportunity and that opportunity, with a bit of luck and hard work, transforms into an actual reality.

Anderson is incredibly naive about the financial opportunities within Boxing.

In the Sport for all the wrong reasons Kid

He is right in a way - you don't need to be a champion in order to have a good resume (i.e. fighting top opponents), but this is only valid until the moment you become the mandatory for a title shot and eventually winning it.

I understand that boxing is a means to an end, that end being money.
That said continuously stating that you don't real like the sport, or feel like you need to become champion.
Now that type of thinking can creep up on you in a middle of a difficult fight, and cost you big time.

At least his honest. I've been following /watching boxing since the 70s and in the modern era it is more about the money, titles are now secondary bar one or 2 fighters. Sadly this is not just in boxing but life in general. Let's take the Heavyweight Division for example the Fury v Nagannou fight is a joke but it's the Saudis money why this is happening. Again in the heavyweights they are over paid that's why they fight once or maybe twice a year with rematch clauses and it holds other fighters careers up that's why it's bad to have a unified champion in the modern era. Most boxing fans who have come into the sport in the last 10 - 15 years really are not true boxing fans who just mumble off alot of trash, I prove my point the pay per view will be a sell out, but instead of protesting about ths joke of a fight.

He doesn’t care about being a champion and he wants to retire by 27.

To be honest, as a fan this isn’t hyping me up to follow his career.

Anderson has already said he doesn't love boxing so this is not surprising.

Promoting himself. Nothing new here
