    do you think fighters won the lottery

    literally winning the jackpot of $20 million +

    they would still box?

    random fighters such as

    thurman
    peter quillin
    shawn porter

    just to name a few

    - porter would - he loves the sport and jus became champ
    - thurman would
    - quillin not so sure - he married with a kid and been a champ for decent time and last time out fought close fight with rosado. would lose to ggg. only big fight possible is cotto and thats unlikely.

    fighter like bhop would. hes already worth 50 mil and is fighting.

      A bit more information is necessary. 20 million before or after taxes? If that's the before taxes amount, then no, because most winners end up blowing that amount through foolish and financially uneducated choices in a few years - professional athletes or not.

        Most would still fight IMO, if a fighter got a 20 mil pay check would u that be his last fight ? Probably not.

          I think they would still fight, boxing is something you have to be passionate about and dedicated too. When you think about it, the average guy with some job that sucks and can barely pay his way would definitely walk away from that job if they suddenly came across a ton of money.

          A fighter would find it a lot harder to walk away from something they have dedicated their life too. Especially if they are successful anyway. Plus if talking about money specifically it depends on the mindset of the guy too I guess; would that money kill the spirit and motivation or would it fuel them to fight for more?

          It's a good question and I guess it would be interesting if it ever happened to one of the big names to see the effect on their career.
