    Why did you criticise Bradley for taking money fight with Pacquaio and for resigning with Top Rank where he has a high guaranteed minimum and he does not even have many fans?

            I know!..people have a lot to learn....remember this...EVERYTHING IS ABOUT
            MONEY!!!.....even Muhammad Ali said he only boxed for the money...Everything
            around you is about money...Mcdonald's,Costco,Wars,T.V Shows,Hospitals,
            Las Vegas,etc etc.....If you do the math with anything,it always boils down
            to money.

                I left all of my money at the counter to watch them fight, giving a **** about their health isn't on the tickets I paid for. If you really cared about these people as human beings, you wouldn't even watch such a violent and barbaric sport. But you do. So pipe down you hypocrite.

                  I don't get it, what does P Williams have to do with using "health first" as an excuse in boxing? His injury had nothing to do with boxing, he crashed a motorcycle.

                  Using a tragic accident as some subliminal pro-Mayweather thread... smh

                    Williams got hurt outside of boxing, but I get your point.

                    It's sad to see punch drunk boxers, or fighter who are still fighting because of money mismanagement. It's more than just one factor; they all matter. Boxers should look out for their health, maximize their earnings, and manage their assets accordingly. It's the same story with athletes who lose their fortune. They need more guidance from people looking out for them (i.e. not their promoter).
