Legacy or Money

i would go for both, but they often go hand in hand

 

3rd option.

While "legacy" sounds like the honourable choice, too many exceptional fighters have ended up skint and broken-down for me to think that the money side isn't equally as important. The reality of the situation is that so few fighters ever make it truly to the top of the tree with the big money fights (and some of the still end up broke), that a degree of financial accumen and 'money sense' is utterly crucial for a boxer.

 

I would like to get money and legassy.

Probably like Leonard, Hagler, etc.

I would not focus only in money, because I would want to be remembered.

I would not focus only in legassy, because I would probably end up poor. And probably with brain damage like Eric Morales.

 

One hand washes the other. Money comes with fighting big names.

Overral though in like and not on a boxing forum, money is what really matters.

 

Legacy for me

You don't really achieve anything legacy wise without fighting big fights and the money comes naturally

That said, I'd always fight the up and comers I thought were best, rather than past it names just for money. It gets to a point when you have millions and millions, and it becomes nothing more than a figure. What can you do with all that money really? It's nothing more than ego

 

the biggest fights add the most to your legacy. The biggest fights bring the most money.

20 years from now, people will look at Floyds record and say, "wow, check it out, after winning the welterweight title, he beat an atg at a higher weight class."

If he would've fought Margo they wouldn't even list it as one of his top 10 victories.

 

Legacy or a combination of the two. It would probably depend on how good I was. If I was at Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Calzaghe's level, I'd fight the best guys out there; the money would come.

 

Money lasts till you die but a Lagacy is forever.

 

This sums it up perfectly in My opinion.

 

Both.

 

morales hasnt shown any signs of brain damage that Ive seen

 

Plenty of greats will tell you legacy does not pay bills.

Also without wanting to totally blow the thread in the direction, but Hitler and Stalin were both arguably in the top five (maybe even higher) of leagcy makers worldwide in the 20th century...
