    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.
    Reality check: Nobody is going to give you 700,000 to stop watching boxing.

      If watching old Mathysse fights, rocking yourself back and forth, curled up in a little ball and crying uncontrollably is "watching boxing"... Then yea I suppose you were.

        I would, I'd watch MMA solely instead and just follow Boxing without watching.

          Some of us already have. its not the 700 bucks, rather it is the prohibitive price to watch PPV. I don't do it anymore.

            You know what I think you're on to something.

            I re-read the thread topic...Would you stop to watch boxing for eternity for $700,000

            I read it wrong. Obviously from the way OP worded it, he is wondering if we would stop whatever it is we are doing and watch boxing for eternity and get paid $700,000.

            Yes, I would stop to watch boxing for eternity for $700,000. Sorry, I misunderstood. No wonder so many people voted yes.

            Now it begs the question, why wouldn't you stop (making a sandwich, working, reading a book) TO watch boxing for eternity.

            All you have to do is watch boxing all day every day. I would assume all other expenses are paid for, food and what not.

            But what fights would it be?? Ahhh silver lining. Klitschko bros fights, B-Hop fights??

            Could you pick your own fights to watch?? Need more info on which fights we would be stopping to watch.


            Thanks for clearing that up somewhat, -Righteous-...green K sent.

                      This really made me laugh .

                      I could picture that bald **** coming into my home with that line and ripping out my internet and TV.
