    fighters are fighters.they would fight for free if they knew no one was making money while they go broke. but they are not stupid 99 percent of the time....nah make that a 100% of the time. Not many IF ANY fighters would actually do it for nothing....particularly when they know someone else is benefiting from them at least.

    Vic Darchinyan.

    At least as much as any fighter would. I mean, they only have so many years to make money in....

    It's all about the money anymore.

    Vitali for a Lewis rematch right now maybe?

    Nah, even for all his bitching he probably wouldn't decide to do that.

    None would obviously. We get the point...
    But if one did it would probably be SSM.

    Why ? a pro fighter fights fore money not to entertain your romantic notions of fighters fighting for honour alone.

    :lol:

    Interview before the Trinidad fight:

    Hopkins: A win means I have all the belts. It means millions.

    Interviewer: What means more to you, the belts, or the millions?

    Hopkins looks dead in his eye and says "The millions".

    Froch. I don't like him, but he has big balls, I'll admit.

    PW would probably if his promoter wasn't such a greedy *******.

    Haye looks like he's swallowed a terrible deal against the Klitschko sisters (although that could be him running his moo all over again).
