If that's really the reason he's quitting, then I'm sorry but I can't offer anything but a hearty "**** you" to Lacy.
why not just decline the fight rather than retire? there must be some contract issues that only a "retirement" will fix.
i think Lacy read in the paper about this small 135 lbs. boxer being offered $10M for one single fight... that made Jeffrey cry... and laugh at the same time...
Based on recent performances, Taylor would hand Lacy his head. I guess 500 grand isn't enough for a career ending beating. But since he's retiring anyway, why not take the cash? I think Jeff is confused.
lacy you've got it all wrong ...its BECAUSE you fought life and death with a C- fighter that you're only being offered 500 grand ... you're lucky you got offered that much
What did he make for the calzaghe fight? Has to be at least a million..550 g's sounds very fair considering he just fought on espn
against calzaghe wasnt he an undefeated world champion? Here n now he is a fighter coming back with 3 lacklustre wins. I think he should take the money...I would!!! And if he's really as good as he'd like to think then he'll win and then be calling the shots. Maybe he really dont think he can do it and thinks that money isnt enough for an ass whoopin which will bring his career to a close. One things for sure though, I really doubt he's retired.
