So many people in all walks of life are fleeced in a systematic manner though, one way or anotherI can agree with the idea, a portion of each purse or sanctioning fee etc would certainly make sense. That's also a fine line as there is no central governing body, It could just add to the ways in which fighters can get dicked around since the money is still coming from their pockets really.
Take Riddick Bowe specifically though was my thinking, is it sad that he's now having to fight for money? I say fuck no, and it bothers me when people harp on about guys in that situation as if it's a travesty. If he hadn't happened to be good at beating people up he'd probably have been locked up years ago for being such a shitty person, yet he happened to make millions of dollars instead. The fact that he was to stupid not to know that he shouldn't I don't know.. maybe start a mutual fund or something, makes it far more ridiculous than sad.
