The worst thing is the boxers who end up in trouble come from humble beginnings, 99.9% of them never dreamed of earning as much as they did.. and then a few bad moves and it all goes..

There is so much discipline required to be a boxer and to be successful its a wonder that sometimes that discipline doesnt carry over to money..

And spending money is a hell of a way to blow off steam..

When i train for a fight.. get disciplined, eat right, train hard.. its tough and you gotta put all the work in and when your looking good and feeling fit its then that you really want a big dirty burger king and you really miss nasty ass unhealthy foods lol..
after a fight i take a little while off, i can drink alchohol again if i like, eat crappy foods.. thats how you blow off steam.. course if i had a mil in my pocket im sure i could find more interesting ways to blow off steam..lol

So i figure maybe that plays a part.
