        No it wasn't, it was a sport for poor people like blacks, Italians, Irish, etc who had nothing going for them could make money. Now it's more worldwide than ever, but still generally more poor people and people with unprivileged backgrounds participate in the sport to be in a better financial situation.

              Yes we know money was and always be involved in boxing ...but once these guys make millions and a big name for the selfs ...money is not only thing they fight for

                Looks like the golf fans are in full force again.

                Why do people think that fighter's bank accounts are more important then the sport?

                No wonder boxing is in the state that it is now, some fans prefer looking at 00000000 in a bank account instead of great fights smh.

                  They all fight for money and that's why boxing is often called prize fighting. If there was little or no money in boxing the level of skill and talent would go way down hill fast. Almost no fighter would go through the hard training and the high risk of injury and brain damage if there was no monetary reward.

                      i just got back

                      okay thats ur opinion
                      but as i said marquez is a risk with money why choose him when he can fight someone easier without risking his pvp status drop

                      u lose ur stocks drops, why pick marquez
                      manny can actually fight two easy fights and that would equal to how much he is going to get from a marquez fight

                      now the better example is

                      why take bradley when he has nothing but risk for u?

                      facing bradley means risking ur stocks but high reward for legacy
