Complacency is the worst opponent a fighter will ever face. At one time, when a fighter won a belt, it was said that he became 25% better just for winning it. It instilled confidence and drive in them and helped them reach greater heights.
Now when many win one, they sit around and just look for more green, allow distractions to get a hold of them and lose sight of what got them there. It is not the trainers, the trainers do the same job they did the last fight. It is the fighters that lose focus of the long term and treat the sport as a get rich quick scheme instead of looking at it as a career.

Well said. Too many of these guys win a big fight and thinks thats the end of it, think thats the time to count the money.
Maybe it's the age we live in - reality TV, win a million dollars, book deal, film deal...
So many people just don't want to have to work for a living.
I know - I'm one of them
