Boxers fight for MONEY not glory. Fact.

[Dizaster]

To lump all fighters into one category with such a sweeping statement, seems ludicrous, IMO. You got your fighters that only care about money, and you got your fighters that truly enjoy the sport, and care about their place in boxing history. Maybe when you're starting out, or when you're a journeyman fighter, maybe then you only care about money. But when you've reached the upper echelons of the sport, and you've already made your first few millions... how much more money do you really need? If I thought that money was the ONLY thing that all fighters ever cared about, I'd probably wouldn't be such a fan.

Can you name the fighters that have earned a few million who then chase nothing but glory (resume enhancing) fights at the expense of bigger money? (That was one of the questions asked in the very FIRST post of this thread. It wasn't just a title )

Money dictates the match-up. If the money isn't RIGHT the fight doesn't happen. Simple as.

What if fighters avoid big pay days to go after fights which pay less, but are less risky.. Hence to keep their zero.. But that's not really fighting for glory either.. it's fighting to look good on paper.... Even if it costs you money...

If I was a boxer i'd fight for glory...
