Fighters who only fight for money

Article I did on the farce that is Haye V Bellew

You cant blame people for taking the money. For whatever reason, people need it, want it. If you're a brickie and one job building a 20ft wall pays the same as one building a 10ft wall, whatcha gonna do?
The pretending it's a meaningful contest is the joke part.

Yh I did say in the video that I don't blame them for it but they need to provide entertainment

One mans muck and all that. I think Haye or Bellew getting horribly knocked out is entertaining.

[vidgil]

I do find it sad when guys are only in it for a payday, although obviously getting paid accordingly should be huge for any fighter.

But hell, if David Haye can convince people to put their money down to watch him fight, good for him.

Haye is in it for the money, celebrity status and then boxing legacy.

Bloody great article mate.

"For all his faults, you can’t knock Haye and his ability to put bums on seats and pound notes through the turnstiles. The man could sell snow to the Eskimos and they’d thank him for the privilege. Bellew by comparison couldn’t sell a lifeboat to the passengers of a sinking ship."

The thing is that most people come into the sport because they like it. The problem is that once that know they can make money, they are more worried about that than legacy. Haye couldn't have gotten to where he got if he originally got into boxing for the money. He got the status later and now puts his legacy on the back burner.

There is a reason it is called prizefighting. All fighters fight not only for money but for a chance to be in the position to demand big money. It's a precarious, hard and often brutal way to make a living. Some fighters are more blasé and use their own personality whether that is obnoxiousness or charm to 'sell' fights and then there is the other kind that get their head down and take on all comers. Even Fighters like the latter, Golovkin springs to mind, are marketing that fighting for legacy shtick to maneuver themselves into a position to fight the 'money' fighters like Mayweather, Canelo etc to maximise their own earning potential..
