Someone of the people commenting on this thread are hypocrites. When fighters looks out for their financial interest they're called cowards and accused of ducking. Imagine, a promoter telling his client he's unable to fulfill his promotional obligation which requires him to pay what their contract entails.
The man , using that term loosely, you are referring to is a COWARD!! I'd tell him that to his face too. You cannot call yourself an ATG & TBE when you pick and choose your opponents. To be the Greatest you've got to beat the greatest out there. Floyd lost $$$$ fighting Baldomir instead of Margarito was that "looking after his financial interests" ??? No it was because he knew he couldn't beat Margarito
i wish him and his family the best. don't really care though, same as he doesn't care about me. mostly i was disagreeing with the post i responded to, the 'dark side of boxing' and all that nonsense. Boxers at williams level have much more earning potential than the same guy who can't box, is it illegal or impossible to learn a new trade or change career in your 30's?
I swear I did not have Floyd in mind when I made that comment. Dude why you so obsessed with someone you obviously dislike? I really don't get it. Seriously wtf.
Debateable how much he ever made. He was the opponent against Tyson and Klitschko. Outside of that, he was a fringe contender/big British fighter
