Hmm.....
I suppose $5 million could buy a good seeing-eye dog and a red and white cane.
Seriously though, who's to say what future earnings he forfeited by becoming damaged goods. We'll never know.
Hell..... even Khan could probably (gulp) take him now.
Hey, i'm not him, you tell him he's stupid, i'm just explaining why he fought Golovkin, like all fighters they're chasing a mega payday. He bought a great big house outright, secured his families future and invested in business afterwards, oh, and he's still boxing, so however bad his eye was it passes all the medicals and he's still "risking" going blind. Prize fighters, mad ain't they?

Garcia v Spence and Kell v GGG.... THEY GET MY RESPECT. ULTIMATE RESPECT!
They both had the shit beaten out of them by bigger, stronger fighters.
Brook received career changing injuries in both fights.
Garcia & Brook proved they have balls but were foolish in doing so
Brook is finished and Garcia won't ever be the same fighter again after that 12 round beating.
I agree, you would add Khan to that list as well. At least with DLH Manny and Co saw a definite weakness in an older, weight drained fighter. With these guys you are talking about bigger guys in their prime.
