    gatti fought that way because it was the only thing he can do. if he was a bit of a better fighter, you would'nt say that he fights for boxing glory

    He's probably not the last, but Corrales deserves to be mentioned. I'm sure he was in it for the money, too, but he was very passionate about the sport.

    Everyones in it for the money!
    Not that dont mean once in the ring ppl dnt fight wid pride.
    And fighting for glory and love of sport are diffo. PBF fought for glory but stated he was bored of the sport.
    A stupid thread

    there are fighters that love the sport ,but that doesn't mean they have to fight for free.offcourse they get payed it's like a any job, but it's hareder and better payed when you are really good.
