I think their's a little bit of difference. So bigger money doesn't equal better fight.. infact, probably the opposite in a lot of cases... Especially the media money fest that was ODLH & PBF... Unless the rematch means more to either of them that just money, it'll barely be worth 2 cents as far as distinguishing who is the better boxer between them.... When you talk about "prime" for these fighters, you have to talk about "hungry".... neither of them is that anymore.... as they BOTH say, they have done everything they wanted to in the sport and gotten everything out of it... Both of these fighters in their prime, i.e. when they wanted it all but didn't have it yet? it would have been an amazing fight....
I don't think circumstances allow for it anymore.... which is nothing to do with age or diminishing skills/performance ability...

















Pay days really got out of control after a prime Tyson hit the scene...Pay Days went from millions to ten plus millions....I think Tyson got 23 million when he fougt Spinks....Spinks got 13.5 million....All for 90 seconds...A scared 90 seconds easiest money of eithers career....

I agree with the "Yeah, these guys aren't fighting to get paid,,, they're fighting because they're being paid...".....Problem is even though they are getting paid they arent exactly all doing it that well.......
