would you stop to watch boxing for eternity for $700.000?

    some of you poor guys will think i'm crazy for saying that, and i'm not saying i have 750K in a bank somewhere, but it's the truth.
    Sure the money itself won't make you happy if you buy an expensive car/house, and spend the rest of it on silly ****.

    But, if you're smart, you can make it work for you. Grow it and share it with people close to you who need it. All for the simple task of giving up watching a sport.

    Boxing is great. It's a source of great entertainment. But if I had the opportunity to help my mother to stop suffering, and help my old man out with the bills, pay off my house...and all I had to do was never watch another boxing match. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    I know that most of the other posters talking **** would do it, if the money was on the table in front of them and this wasn't a hypothetical situation.

    Nobody in their right mind would give up the freedom and the ability to help/save others lives and perhaps better themselves in the mean time for ****ing boxing.

    And to those who say you would, maybe you haven't lived enough life, been through enough bad times to really know what this could mean for you. That's not your fault.


    **unless some people voting are thinking OP meant $700, I'm shocked at the results of the poll.**

    Mad respect to you guys if you could really keep your word and continue to watch the sport and turn down the money. I don't think there's a single source of entertainment in my life that I value that much. That sort of loyalty, dedication must be lost on me.

      Maybe one of you guys could pay Mosley that $700,000 to keep the Mundine fight on since you love boxing so much.

          When I think about just how much time I spend watching boxing and training...the only thing I probably do more is work and sleep. That would be VERY tough to give up. MMA doesn't even really properly fill that void.

            I would, no questions asked.

            Now, giving up cappin' folks on COD is another story.

              There has been some bad decisions in boxing that at times wants to make me to stop following the sport and these promotional companies don't make anything easier.

              I guess I would hold on to that thought and take the money

                      I saw this yesterday and thought about it. Wuth what i have and will get this amount will allow me to retire at age 45 and live comfortably if i wanted to. I love boxing but i still have baseball and football.

                      Ill take it! Now where is it?
