Wouldnt be so sure about that. Rigo may well have made enough money to live comfortably if he moves back to Cuba and isnt thrown in jail but I doubt he could retire and live off his earnings now and hes one of the most talented boxers around. Lee Haskins, a current world champion, would also likely struggle financially if he was forced to retire from boxing today.

I have no problem with some fighters taking certain fights for money over others but guys like Floyd and Canelo where money really doesnt matter (because they have so much of it already) just pisses me off. Whats worse is "boxing fans" defending them for it
