    How does a guy with Brittle hands make 800 million in a Combat sport?

    Anyone can learn how to read a book. But learning how to read the market place and exploit it for nearly a Billion dollars is nothing short of Genius.

    He made his fortune in the dead sport of boxing with arthritic hands!

    Unbelievable.

          Like I wrote in another thread, the man was very truthful to himself, when his hands started breaking down on him he stopped on relying on power and throwing too many combinations, he focused on all his other weapons and tricks to get the job done, he didn't let pride and ego control the way he fought, he didn't listen to announcers and commentators that never fought before criticize his fighting style and calling him boring and all that, he focused on winning and that's that winner mentality that got him to where he is now.

          He never listened to anybody, had he listened to critics and fought dumb and screwed up his hands even more, he would've probably got stopped years ago and his career and potential to make hundreds of millions would've been out the window. By far the smartest and most thick skinned fighter that we've ever seen, extremely smart and professional. Gets called TBE for a reason.

                    Add the purses from Manny, canelo, Conor and ODH. I believe that is $800 mil. Remember that total doesn't factor in the totals from the Mosley, cotto, jmm or hatton fights.
