Honestly...shit like this makes me like Pavlik even more...not the fact that he's a bungler & injured himself pulling what many here seem to think a "remedial task" but the fact that he's not sitting around on his ass soaking up championship dollars or out being a total douche bag like most boxers these days.

No disrespect Pantera...I aint jumpin on ya...but I would say that you/we would have to walk in Pavlik's shoes. Pavlik's been a poor boy all his life. He's done his own shit & lived his own way & he aint gonna change.
I respect that more than him having someone else do his tasks for him.
You could be changing a light bulb from a chair & fall & crack your wrist or break an arm...shit happens...& trust me...no matter who I am or how big of a bank draft I got...I'll be changin my own bulbs & if I felt that I had the knowledge...fixing me own windows.

Again...can't live your life that way if you haven't been brought up like that.
Money doesn't change everyone...& whether or not Pavlik wasn't thinking...or it was a freak accident...or as someone else so...gracefully pointed out : he's not the brightest light in the sky...it's just one of those things.
Other sport stars do things that put them more at risk than home tasks.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
