Thread: To fight or not

Some years back i was taiking to Richie Woodall he told me he went into Keith Holmes FIGHT,with a injury to his right arm.He lost i said why fight because the money was to good to turn down Richie is one of the good guy,s in boxing to me its about the money not belts or bullshit MONEY that,s it you may not like my view.

plenty of boxers go in to a fight sporting an injury. More common than you think.

Of course it is all about the money. If you like to punch people, and be punched by them in return, just for the joy of it....

Boxing is about money but the real talented fighters can enjoy a successful career first and the money comes a long with it. If you are not as talented or past your best then you should limit yourself to who you fight and try and maximise your bank balance and career. If you are injured then it is a risk taking the fight but you are to blame for taking the fight and should not use it as an excuse if you lost like Haye and many others have done. Joe Galzaghe beat lacy with an injury, so did Holmes beating Norton, the gamble paid off.

Yes i no some do box with injury,s but we all need money to live my point was it,s not allway,s about belt,s and when you get in that ring it,s about money boxing or it,s other name prize fighting. All i cant say blood and snot
