Hopkins: Rich Kids Don't Fight" "They Shouldn't" And "They never will"

[HanzGruber]

mayweather jr seems to have did prety good for himself .. chavez jr is the prime example of already being well fed no motivation

Floyd sr was selling crack. They were hardly rich lol. And Hopkins is right. I'd say prob 90% of boxers come from poor backgrounds. Or atleast middle class and under

I think the majority of fighters come from poor backgrounds, but there are definitely some who have middle-class upbringings. Chavez Jr is a perfect example of a kid from a wealthy family, assuming his father spent his millions wisely.

Chavez Jr. isn't a good example though because his father was a legendary fighter. So naturally, he was surrounded by boxing.

This has nothing to do with race you moron.

that was a reference to a lack of fighters coming from the upper middle class you slow idiot

[BroneloCalvarez]

Who cares where you come from as long as you win.

Lotta boxers come from boxing families and do well

He means starting out boxers are poor. Floyd slept ten deep in one room.

Bhops trainer naazim has said what separates special fighters is being motivated when they had millions.

"They say I train like I'm poor, like I haven't made a dime". - Floyd mayweather jr. On an episode of 24/7

We're talking about "rich kids", not whether a kid is "surrounded by boxing".

He sure is

whats your point? He was trying to double,triple up on his money... They still do....I probably would have been a mayweather fan and been able to chill with him if my family member didn't go to prison ..... good thing i noticed his female ways

[radioraheem]

agreed

when was the last time you seen a champ trace his origins to white suburbia America

Floyd was by no way rich. He was lower middle class at best

This has nothing to do with race you moron.

Taking Aim -- suburbia in America is made up of predominantly whites. The lower the income class, the more the minority population grows big time too, whether it be blacks, mexicans, asians, etc.
