High risk low reward??

[Fetta]

the haymon era of boxing sucks

Ah just saw the agenda push

[HeGotPacProblem]

Its called PRIZE FIGHTING with and emphasis on prize. Do you think promoters, and networks are gonna go for that? Hey you can make 70mil or 7mil for training the same amount time because some fan in timbuktu believes he knows more about boxing and believes he knows what every other fan prefers...Floyd has beaten more world champions than ANYONE IN HISTORY and some hater believes all those champions and #1 contenders werent very good. Should you listen to those that hate you or reward those that loves you. No matter if Floyd fights Pac the people that hate him are still gonna hate him, why do anything for them? they gonna hate you no matter what.

Most world champs? Sounds good, but how many were at their prime?

7 million to fight margarito or 4 million to fight sharmba? sometimes money isn't everything. sometimes lower risk and lower reward pay off.

Do Floyd fans have a quota on how many times they have to use the word "hate"?

Yes agree with ts, its patethic..
but b-hop isn't the only one, most europeans still fight high risk low reward esp eastern europeans.

They have to take the low purse and more but they know if they keep winning they will be respected and will get more money

Yeah there's something about this term of phrase which allows boxers to look down their nose at other boxers like

"Hey, u might be a dangerous guy, and you could beat me, but if I beat you it means nothing"

[pesticid]

Why don't you quit your job and do a much harder one for less money?

Cause he's not a professional athlete competing to be the best you moron!

[Piper the Great]

it will be the same. I think Cotto is the last of a dying breed

Mexican boxers and Mexican boxing is still going strong, its all these "american" boxers who are killing the sport.

WTF IS WRONG WITH BOXING???

Fans and boxers feel this is a way to be professional in this once great sport

''he should not fight him because he is high risk low reward''

seriously wtf what happened to taking on all challengers and fighting the best, im sure ernie shavers was high risk and low reward for ali, ali still fought him...

guys who have fought there way through the ranks have to sit down and wait or fight guys ranked below them just because they are ''high risk low reward''

even some fans think this is ok....its like boxing if full of pvssys these days who want to go the most easy route available to them....it makes me sick

Bhop is the only active fighter who takes on everyone and willing to take that''high risk''

look at Lara mandatory for floyds 154 title even given him a belt to prove it lol but he will never get that fight

same as thurman will never get his chance yet guys like Khan who aint proved **** at 147 gets a number 2 ranking by the wbc and in line to fight mayweather

WHAT A ****ING JOKE

very good post and very relevant questions....

one answer is the fighters of old are fighters....warriors...

the fighters of today are "smart", "very good businessmen", "slick", "cherry-pickers", and are good track and field runners...ha ha ha ha
