    Damm. What i want to know is, doesn't Moorer have any money left over from his HW championship years? I mean didn't the guy make some good change during the top?

    Can someone explain this?

    I take it Ýou didn't see Pac-Hatton 24-7? Moorer was enforcing a rule that nobody could lean on the counter at the front desk of the gym. He made all violaters give him 1 dollar.

    i don't know what the dude did with his money, he made 7 figure in fights vs foreman and holy and likely others. but.... he was a fighter with conditioning problems, didn't stay in shape between fights, so you can assume there is no disapline inside him. if you can't stay in fight shape when that's all you do, you most likely don't watch your cash very well.

    Don't get me wrong I do like Moorer but he came across as a very condescending personality whenever I have read interviews and seen him in vids in the past. I seem to remember a clip during Hatton-Pacman 24/7 of him telling Freddie what to do during Pacman's preparations. I'm sorry, mate, but I think Roach knows what he's doing. Roach is never one to put up with egos; I have so much respect for the guy- he always says it as it is.

    That's probably the case. I mean if you have to work as an assistant trainer, you need some cash. :lol:

    I know that Riddick Bowe made millions but he also had financial problems too. And he also had conditioning issues.

    If you read Teddy Atlas's Book Moorer comes off as a head case.

    What a shame, I actually thought Moorer was a good thing for Wild Card. I guess I didn't realize just how bad his people skills were.

    I do think Roach should have told him personally 1st before going on an interview and discussing it :patsch

    I agree. What he's done is poor form.

    I knew this ****er would get the chop. Me and Bladerunner agreed unanamously that he was an idiot, like one of those old friends that's too overbearing.

    I thought Pacman was the only fighter that got on well with Moorer. They are both southpaws and he said it helped. Roach said 5 out of 6 of his fighters did not respond to Moorer positively.

    I was reading that some where after the ODH fight, that there was a problem with Manny's camp with Moorer.
