Boxers fight for MONEY not glory. Fact.

[Fenster]

I usually am reluctant to give the guy credit, but Froch came to the US to fight Taylor, and although I'm sure he was paid handsomely to do so, he took a risk he didn't have to take. He could easily have stayed in Nottingham fighting nobodies and making the same amount of money. He did it without any british tv exposure either.

Thats a good example. He really didnt need to take that fight so early on as a belt holder but went out and did it regardless. Nearly cost him, but it worked dividends. That's a possible quest for glory IMO.

Hmm... maybe, Froch deserves credit for this fight but

1. Froch got a career high payday - around £500,000. He would have needed a few home defences to make that (i would guess).

2. The fight was on-off, on-off, on-off.. why? Money. Team Taylor said Froch wanted too much, Team Froch said Taylor's demands were unreasonable.

Had Froch had a more lucrative offer to fight a lesser name at home, does anyone truly believe he would have turned it down to get Taylor's scalp? I would highly doubt it.
