    If I was getting punched in the face for a living I'd feel entitled to be a bit greedy.

    How many accomplished fighters who are aging, or at least in the latter portion of their career, actually decide there's enough money and look at things from a sporting view?

    Usually it's when they're younger and hungrier that they take more of the higher-risk, low-reward fights. They're paying their dues. When they reach a certain level, they want, or expect, a certain amount of money and big event.
