    You do realiae that money isn't the sole motivation for the vast majority of fighters, right?

    Jones has made like 180 million in his career.

    Vargas signed over power of attorney to his accountant who robbed him for everything he had.thats why vargas is planning a comeback.hatton kept all the english ppv money from his fight with floyd but spilt the pac money, also hatton like prince naz has a lot of property investments

    He's a Khan fan.

    Fighting for money is all he knows.

    Pacman has to be there.. the Phillipines worships the guy as a boxer, politician, singer, actor, etc.... I think we don't honestly know how wealthy he is

    Then Foreman has to be up there.. and the Klits should be well off

    SLR of course... n Floyd shouldn't be too bad

    I heard the bit about Vargas and his car parks.

    Apparently Naz invested some of his sky tv money in the new severn bridge! So every time you drive over there and have to pay £5.70 or whatever the toll is these days, you're giving the Prince like 16p or something. Bearing in mind about sixty million vehicles per year cross the bridge I'd say that was a shrewd investment.

    What else do you fight for, a piece of tin to wrap around your waist? Or to please cocks like you?

    I remember for one of Monk Foreman's fights part of his opponent's purse was to meet big George and receive a free grill.

    And I am not kidding.
