    In boxing the best fight the best when the money is best.

    So i'd go with boxing is a buisness.

    Every other major sport, even without money being on the line, the top guys would still do it - Tiger Woods would play golf, Nadal would play Tennis, top footballers would still play football etc

    What boxers would fight without money being the no.1 incentive?

    Yes.. although even the mad rich ones wouldn't continue for anything less than mad riches.

    By the way - Pac at middleweight is a bit of a stretch. Although Pac-Pavlik? I got Pac.

    It is both.

    Some of it I love, some of it I don't love.

    I don't love bullshit. The kind of prizefighting stuff that goes on a lot these days.

    For example, boxers get easy fights, get hyped up beyond belief and will fight some 38 year old legend who is way passed their best and carry on like they are the greatest boxer of all time.
