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

Yes it can, it has actually been scientifically proven that money can buy happiness. You may be well-off or get paid just enough to be financially happy, but I am pretty sure those homeless people asking for food/money in the train have completely different opinions than you on whether or not money would make them happy.

But the same sport you're turning down $700k for, money comes before YOU (the fans). Money comes before everything in boxing.

you can take this or leave this, but i don't need "science" to tell me whether or not money can make somebody happy.


obviously there's a level of comfort that comes with having money. that doesn't dictate perpetual happiness. it's not really appropriate to use homeless people as an example. you're basically asking whether not starving, freezing to death, etc, would make somebody happy.

Would money not make them happier though?

So I can not use homeless people, they don't count I guess, they're less human then we are, so the hell with them. Let's say then people who live in the ******, people who live in poverty? You know those who have a home, but barely make it through the week? Maybe they have one meal a day, living check by check. These people, would $700k make someone like that happy?

If you don't mind me asking, what is your salary? And even further, what were your guardians salary? You do not have to answer this here, you can just PM me the answer.

When i dream about becoming Millionare, apart of buying a fu---king lamborghini, i want the money to go to fights, to bet on the casinos in favor of a certain fighter. So, no boxing in my life, no need to big bucks

You cannot use homeless people because it is a ****** comparison. Homeless people lack food, shelter and security, things that anyone would value over watching boxing, if 700k could provide those necessities it would naturally be more valuable to them than watching boxing.

When someone has food, shelter and security, the 700k would not necessarily bring them things that they'd value over boxing. When I think about the changes 700k would make to my life I think ''I could go on a nicer holiday every year'', ''I could speed up the development of my portfolio'', ''Could buy a house outright and work with less stress''- those aren't things I value over boxing, same applies to others.

Again, $700k wouldn't turn a homeless person's life around? NE said money can't make you happy. Yes it could, I brought up an example of what type of people it can make happy, homless people, poverty-stricken people, people who live check by check.

Give me $700k for example, a college student, i'd buy myself an apartment in Manhattan, for about $100-200k so that I don't worry about rent, just water bill, light bill, etc. I'll be good, i'll be SO ****ing happy, nearly stress fear financially, and that'll be more than enough money to take care of needs and wants until I get a nice job out of college.

I wonder if you meant $700,000.00 then the answer is yes

Must've been lol. There's no way anyone does it for $700. People frequently use a period instead of a comma.

well what about me? I'm a college student too but my Mom mails me money every month for rent. I have a nice car and nice clothes.. The extra money won't make me happier long term. It will make me happier for a few weeks but nothing long term because money isn't an issue.

I think it really depends on the person. If money is an ISSUE of course money makes you happier.. but if money was never an issue growing up .. I think its different.



My Professor actually did a study on this: He and his colleagues interviewed numerous people in different stages of their lives and it's all different depending on where they are at... what they are doing.. etc.. You can't speak for everyone and neither can that poster 'New England'.


Money doesn't make me happy because it was never an issue... NOW IF YOU TAKE AWAY all my financial support.... will it become an issue? Of course.


That being said.. of course I'll stop watching boxing for 700,000.

It don't really matter if I need the money or not.. anyone turning down 700,000 even if you are a Millionaire is pretty ******ed.

Two college students can be in the same college, both with completely different financial statuses. For example, I pay $0 for college, but that is because i'm dirt poor. And that is who i'm speaking for, me, my friends, family members, who $700k would make them happy. People who are well off/are good enough financially won't understand. I speak for myself and people in my neighborhood, and, people in similar neighborhoods to mine all around the USA.

Why?

You say that money doesn't make you happy because it was never an issue. What if money doesn't make someone happy because it isn't an issue for them, but boxing does make them happy? Why would they be ******ed for giving up something they love for something that won't make them happy?

[-Kev-]

How can any one say with a straight face that boxing makes them happier than money?

Really, if you are a 100% true boxing fan, the Chavez Jr vs Vera fight should have made you depressed. And decisions like that stack up after years and years of the same crap. Boxing is such a depressing sport, it thrived in the great depression era. Mismatch after mismatch, terrible officiating, corrupted/incompetent judging, paper titles, a billion titles per weight class, there's a billion weight classes to begin with. Really, boxing makes you happy?
