There's very little "pride" left in boxing

[-MEGA-]

Its all business now which is good that the fighters are finally getting paid good money.

But what happened to the "pride" fights?


Damn I miss those days...

if you miss those days it means you lived them, lucky you, i'm 26, stuck in the "low risk high reward" era

Good for fighters bank accounts, bad for fight fans that want to see competitive fights.


The funny part about it is you got nuthuggers defending the cherry picks.

Theres still a couple of them out there. Canelo seems to be one for example. Hate him or love him we should all enjoy him.

Hopkins too. Also Broner, he'll fight anybody, he has 10X the pride and balls his big bro has.

Mayweather,Manny are both old now and have paid their dues..they fought the best and that is how they got to the top..Canelo aint doing nothing other champions had to do as young fighters..pay their dues!!!! Hopkins at 49 is ending his legacy..but there was a time he was facing mandatories and no one wanted to see it...that is just how the game goes....Not sure why ya'll complain so much, but fighters are getting paid and that is great..and we are still getting damn good fights..ya'll just want to pick promotional sides and pick out the bad fights and hold on to them to prove some kind of point

Broner is 25..at 25 Floyds resume was 10 times better...hell at 37 he fights better fighters..**** are you talking about?

Great, only this thread isn't about resumes, it's about pride. Broner has 10x the pride and balls his "big bro" has. Save all that Floyd nuthugging for the May/Pac master thread.
