I used to believe in that, until the Hopkins fight. Hopkins even said it himself.

"Bernard, why is Oscar fighting you?"

"Because he has 30 million reasons to fight me."

Then the fight happened... Oscar didn't look like he wanted to win. Pardon me if you guys thought he dominated the first 6 rounds. Hopkins simply didn't really do anything in the first 6, even if he could have. THIRTY MILLION dollars is a looooottttaaa money. And he could even earn more in a Mayweather fight.
Just as Britkid used the phrase "respect the sport." And how Nigel Benn stopped respecting the sport post McClellen fight.

I believe Oscar has stopped respecting the sport since the Sturm fight.
