Isn't the purpose of training camp to be hard and difficult so when the actual fight happens it becomes "easy".
After they are fired they love talking to the press which is a sign of immaturity and a lack of brains.What they only mention is the hell but overlook the emulating bit

I remember back in the day when I was in Tyson's camp sparring Oba Carr for his fight with Ike Quartey. Me and Oba did it on the strength of just knowing each other. But I remember vividly Tyson giving his sparring partners two thousand a week and frankly, it wasn't worth it because, not one of those sparring partners went more then two rounds with Mike. He was seriously damaging each and everyone of them. It was like he was paying them to tee off on them. They were leaving out of there everyday, or every time they sparred with broken ribs, broken noses, cuts, etc. And we all know boxers don't have no health care so those medical expenses came from that two grand Mike was giving them.
