legacy vs money

[Onetime]

"Show me the man who says he ain't fighting for money, and I'll show you a fool." Larry Holmes

"I don't fight for bragging rights I fight for cheques" Floyd Mayweather jr

"Fighters want to fight for titles, but not as much as we want to fight for MONEY." Roy Jones jr

"If I can make $2 million or $3 million dollars every time I step in the ring with Donald Duck. I can deal with that." Bernard Hopkins

"When you're fighting, you're fighting for one thing - money." Jack Dempsey

“Con dinero, baila el perro. You know what this means? For money the dog will dance. It is one of my favorite expressions.” Marco Antonio Barrera

"If the money's right, I'm happy to bust up the other side of his face... No problem." Lennox Lewis

"I didn't want to fight George Foreman [in 1991] because he was the same age I am now. I wanted to fight Tyson but my manager pointed out I'd get $22m to beat George first. I saw the sense in that." Evander Holyfield

I looked upon boxing purely as a business. As a means to an end. Getting the money. John Conteh

Any boxer who says he loves boxing is either a liar or a fool, I'm not looking for glory. I'm not looking for titles. I'm not looking for the hall of fame. I'm looking for money. I'm looking for readies. Chris Eubank

"Boxers are trying to get big money and make sure their futures are set. In this sport, you just never know." Juan Diaz

If they pay us fighters enough money to put our careers on the line, then we would have a lot more big fights. It’s a business, everyone’s in it to make money" Calvin Brock


"Boxing to me is purely financial. I made mistakes, and when you're younger you don't know no better and you're not getting the advice that people should be giving you. The bottom line is, you look at Roy Jones and Trinidad, they're coming back for the money. They don't need the money. I'm coming back for the money for real. I don't care about the titles. If I win another title, that's just more money for me." Iran Barklay

Good quotes but if it was this simple boxing would be boring, I'm sure Abner Mares loves the money but I can tell he has a love for boxing that I can tell Mikey Garcia doesn't have and it reflects in coming in fat or letting them stop the fight for a broken nose.

I'm a prizefighter. Not a pridefighter.

- Floyd Mayweather

Legacy is good for song lyrics and its some shit u see in the movies. Its about the money in the real world.

All boxers are jealous and would love to be in the shoes of Berto and Lucian Bute

The way he's starting to slur his words, I doubt they wanna be in Berto's shoes.

The point is - regardless of whether or not the fighter loves boxing it is a business driven by money. From top to bottom, whether you're a journeyman making a living or at the highest level earning millions, each fight is dictated by money. "How much do I make?" All fighters are searching for their most profitable option. This is why seemingly "ducks" happen - risk/reward.

Now of course boxers have a certain "love" for what they do. If they didn't they'd all get in the ring and simply quit. However, they are sportsmen, have pride and a will to win.

So money first then a close second with legacy.
