Boxers are dumb the same way the common man is. I don't really mean dumb, but we are indoctrinated to believe certain things that just aren't practical. That to achieve the American Dream we must go into debt. Many athletes are just an extreme version of this. It's why we'll 'buy' a $350,000 house when we only earn like $80,000 a year. That mortgage takes you 30 years to pay off which totals well over a million by the time you have the whole thing paid off. A big house, a big car and all the other accoutrements of wealth without truly being wealthy. True wealth lasts several lifetimes over but these guys' money lasts like a candle in the wind.
