Originally posted by slipjab73 View PostAli fought all those classic wars and now he can't even hold a glass of water. Mayweather's personality belongs to him, if you don't like it so what. How does his behavior affect you in the least bit? A dumb person wouldn't know how to market themself the way Mayweather does. If Ali could do it all over again, I bet you he wouldn't have taken all that punishment in the ring. A dumb person would worry about how they look to people like you. A smart man fights his fight and wins without taking excessive punishment.

Originally posted by slipjab73 View PostLegacy is a motivator for some. Kobe Bryant wouldn't have signed an extension with the Lakers if they didn't put that super fat check in his face. Legacy for professional athletes is at the bottom of the list. How many times have you heard people say Kobe is good but Michael Jordan was better. Kobe has made in his NBA years what Michael could have only dreamed of. When its all said and done, Kobe will have stats that will be equal to Jordan's. Bradley, Alexander, Berto, and Khan all see the writing on the wall and its called "Gettting Paid." Legacy got one too many great fighters brain damage and unable to pay their mortgages.

Originally posted by slipjab73 View PostIts actually from both. Fighters back in the day didn't make that much money and not to mention how their greedy promoters ripped them off. Even guys like Mike Tyson made millions and Don King ripped him off. Tyson may have blown a lot of money but he was also ripped off by thieves. Its a combination of the 2.

Originally posted by slipjab73 View PostSugar Ray fouhgt in the golden era and he made a hell of a lot more money than the typical golden age fighter did. Respect is a very subjective word. Respect to me could mean something totally different to you. Mosley doesn't have as much money as you may think. If Mosley decided to walk away after this fight, he would be remembered as a great fighter. Mosley needs these big fights to help him live comfortable after that pocket draining divorce.
