but heres the thing: Nobody is making you get the benz. If you want to waste your money on ****** **** and end up in the poor house years later, suite yourself.
It breaks my heart to hear about fighters like Sam Langford who fought their heart out and ended up with nothing. I definitely feel for them, and support them all the way if theyre going the money route. But there is a HUGE difference between a guy fighting to makes ends meet and a guy fighting to add to his piggybank, which is already overloaded with cash.
But many studies have shown that a middle ground salary results in the happiest people overall. I definitely care about boxers' well being, and would never want to see someone who fought so hard end up with nothing. but when theyve got millions already in the bank, its not my concern how much money theyre getting anymore: they should already be set for life.

"Retire" while the other guy fights killers and goes through wars that cause him to be shot and old, then fight him when he sees that he's severely deteriorated enough for Floyd to beat.
Rinse, lather, repeat.
Should be obvious by now, unless you're one of his ho's.
