It doesn't necessarily make them cowards.
If we were in in the ring, we wouldn't fight someone for a smaller check specially when you don't fight every weekend but 1 or 2 fights per year at the most in a career that lasts until you are around 33.
There is nothing wrong with wanting money. There is nothing wrong with wanting big money either. I know you are talking about that kid who retired. He has enough money today, to feed an army of pigs for a million life times. How much more money does he need? Now that he is filthy rich, he should fight some of the best to cement his legacy. Nothing wrong with that is there? When you make such claims as being the GOAT and then don't back it up, people are going to call you on it. Simple.
