    Is Mesi just fighting for money???

    In one of his interviews he mentioned how, they(the judges and commissions), were trying to keep him from being afew millions richer. I mean, sure, he was near the doorway to super stardom with 7 digit paychecks, though that was before he was in a near death situation. Now he's going back where 1 punch can be the last, and all he cares about is that he gets his big paychecks. I really think he's lost his marbles

    I think its wrong that he is back. After what happened to LJ R.I.P, the commissions should be way more strict.

      Mesi was being packaged as the New Age Marciano. He ain't of course, but could easily make $5-10 million more in a couple of fights and retire. He has no chance other than a lucky punch of gaining a belt.

        It sure seems that way. I think that he and his father are quite deluded and are in it for the cash payout. I sure hope he doesn't suffer irrevocable consequences if he gets into the ring. Imagine how the media will react.

          I don't know, he needs at least a few warm up fights before he starts making anything. He is saying that he wants to fight Jirov and might even survive that one, Jirov isn't what he used to be. As soon as he gets in the ring with any strong puncher, he might not leave that ring on his two legs. Greed kills

            I hope so. He was never that good. Sorry he barley beat barrett and jerov. He was a contender but honestly could you see him beating brewester valuev bird or rahman no chance with any of them. mesi never showed me anything but being tough a weak to ordinary chin good punch and some skill. Damb I just hope he can keep from getting hurt I love this sport more than many meaningful things in life and would hate to see mesi dies as a headline. I'd hunt him down in heaven or hell when it comes my time. LJ and the rest were enough for a while

              yeah i think its about money. a couple of dates at home in buffalo against soft touches will sell out the 16k seat arena there. Then maybe a shot against Valuev. Or he could be dumb and go after Sam Peter or some murderous puncher like that. I think it will be the first option though. Hope he doesnt die or get further brain damaged but he made his own bed if he does

                  He's an undefeated fighter and still feels he has something to prove. Which he does, but he fought long and hard to get the decision overturned and no he did.

                  If he wants to continue to fight, it's his decision now with the doctors backing of course.

                    no he and his father are nuts. they're fighting for something they never will get and that is a championship. i think mesi is an ok guy but not a top 10 fighter. maybe a good brother in law.
