    The way you wrote this made me laugh. But, seriously, $120 is worth witnessing a HW KO. I mean there is nothing in all sports that comes close to anything like that. A real KO too. Not the ref calling it after he sees someone who he thinks is questionably hurt, I mean a real KO. Anyone who delivers KOs is worth their weight in gold.

    Agree. And with this matchup, I think a good dramatic KO is bound to happen, and probably in the first half of the fight. :good

    well they're bigger draws than you - and since you're the one calling them 'quitters' maybe you'd like to compare your career to theirs?

    they worked hard to get where they are, champ.

    A HW Championship fight like this is a huge event and you complain about $120 for a seat, it's probably less than most people spend on a night at the pub with their mates.
    I paid €133 for my seat and including a hotel for a few nights and the petrol for the drive to and from Berlin it will be pretty expensive but for me it is worth it.
    If you think these guys are bums I don't understand why you would want to buy tickets for the fight in the first place.

    The Klitschko Money Hungry?

    Have you seen how much money they give EVERY FIGHT to charity. The money comes from ticket sales right to the charity instead of there pockets.
    Brock fight - $500,000.00
    Iggy fight - $700,000.00 +
    ETC.....
    Know your facts before you talk smack

    Business is business.

    I get into this argument a lot with people who critisize professional athletes or make the claim that they earn too much money.

    I believe that athletes have the right to earn and attempt to earn as much money as possible for the following reasons:

    1. I'm a capitalist and believe that people have the fundamental right to pursue the best living they can achieve (so long as it's legal and moral).

    2. Athletes sacrifice a lot in the early stages of their lives with no guarantee of success.

    Had I pursued the path of a professional athlete, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy eating the foods I liked, the typle of social life I had, and the amount of free time and recreation that I had.

    I did however, invest a lot of time and hardwork in addition to taking considerable risk to start and grow my own business and I've run into many people are jealous of my success. These people really don't have any idea of what I had to sacrifice in order to get to that point.

    3. If these guys are lucky, they have a decade at best to take full advantage of their earning potential.

    I understand that people don't like the state of boxing, but the boxers are not the ones who deserve the blame.
