Chris Algieri pays off students loans from his fight purse

[-MEGA-]

That's pretty cool. I sure wish I was debt free.

He is definitely a breath of fresh air. The whole underdog story of making out of poverty will never get old and shall always be inspiring, but it is also nice to have someone in boxing who had options yet chose to become a pugilist. In MMA it is a norm, but in boxing not so much besides Cleverly, Macklin and a few others. Marquez is a trained accountant as well if I am not mistaken.

What a smart fellow. Wonder what he does next

Last time in checked he was working on his doctorate, not sure if phd or md. He's already got a masters in sports nutrition I think. He also went to state that he's well off and doesn't really need boxing money wise. He just loves the sport. Check out his Instagram, hell, he could be team gracias s&c coach

What a relief! I thought all posters here read nothing but boxing news. You are right. He already has a masters degree about nutrition but not necessarily in sports. That was news before the fight. The writer was comparing Ruslan and him, that Ruslan came from a poor family, how boxing bailed him out. In contrast to Algieri who attended an exclusive Catholic school during hi school, finished his BS, went into kickboxing and shifted to regular boxing at the age of 23, .. etc,etc. In his interview after the fight, he said that part of his winnings will be used to pay student loans.

Yeah I saw his Instagram. I was very impressed, the dude is the definition of fitness.

He already has a Masters degree in a related course. No need for pre-med. It would be medicine proper.

Well tell him then. He has a masters in nutrition...and he said he's in pre med @1:00 in the video. You're trying to make yourself look intelligent...right?

[arizashakes]

seems like a real cool dude.

No. I'm not trying to look intelligent. For what? I did not hear what he said. Or if that's what he is trying to say. But if you finished a four year (BS) related course (so called pre-med courses), you go to med proper. If his BS and Masters in nutrition are not considered pre-med courses, then he has to take a pre-med course. Trying to make my self look intelligent? No need.
