In his mind signing with PBC killed his career because, in his opinion, he wasn't getting good fights to keep him interested and excited. You could make a case that all of a sudden having a bunch of money killed his discipline and derailed his career. Maybe it is the same thing.
This is what I mean about changing priorities. His priority was becoming a World Champion , then he got a load of dough thrown at him to drop the belt he’d worked so hard by going up in weight. Everything changed.
