Does it really all come down to money???

[Dizaster]

I was listening to a little discussion on boxing on the radio tonight, as Anthony Mundine is fighting someone this evening, and they were discussing how he's very disliked as a sportsperson here in Australia for various reasons...

But aside from that, one of the experts said of his career choices/path, "He's in a rare case where he can actually make more money fighting people here in Australia than to go and fight overseas"...
And I was just thinking, that's great and all, good for him.. But is money everything? Like, should you just decide to do something just because it makes you more money? Like what about legacy, pride, challenge, ambition?? I know it was probably a bit of a challenge for Mundine to get big fights overseas, but I also think he wasn't to unhappy about settling for c grade fights here in Oz due to the money he was able to make with much less effort...

But i'm talking about this issue on a bigger scale than Mundine...

What are your thoughts??

On a personal note, I am not a boxer but work in an office,,, and I am very happy where I am at the moment. So much so that if someone even offered me twice the $$$ to work somewhere else, I wouldn't take it.. I feel that sometimes you have to aim to get more out of life than just money.... So I find it hard to respect these grown adults who are at the pinnacle of god given athleticism and talent, and THE most motivating thing to them is money...

Honestly, what are your thoughts, and what would you do?
