    I agree. It's hard for a boxer or any athlete to get that type of feeling of gratification they get in sports from a touch down, a big win, or a KO.

      it's more about the money for most guys than the glory
      even guys who do good with their money and don't need anymore
      big names can command so much money, they'll just keep going
      then there's the guys who don't know anything else but fighting
      sure they like to win, but they simply can't do anything else after boxing

        I think for certain fighters it's about the money i.e. Floyd. But for others it's definitely about the glory.
