As long as they can keep it competitive its not a problem, I dont need to see Roy Jones get knocked out twice a year though. When its ATGs getting battered by nobodies it becomes a problem for me.

What would you do, if you were 35 and the only way you know how to get a meal on the table for your family is by fighting? What would you do, let the media and fans dictate how much you had left in the tank? What would you do, if you felt you had more potential, more strength, lot's of will and LOT OF LOVE FOR THE FACT OF BEING A GLADIATOR??? You know the feeling of being victorious in the ring - there's no feeling to be compared, and I can only imagine the feeling is stronger when you're cheered by 20.000 fans...
You never know when it's enough. Some got families to feed, others got great love for the game and others just think that they've got more left in the tank. One loss - should that dictate all of your accomplishments?

Many fighters can�t let go for financial reasons

/thread

Something should be done to educate these fighters at a young age how not to blow their money when they make it big.

I have to give the ATG Green props though for giving Tarver, a young hungry lion an opportunity to take his crown.
