Yep you are right.. either way i think there is an idea in there somewhere...might stop guys having nothing to show for their efforts....they might blow it again but it would at least give them the chance to reflect on a last chance to get themselves together .
That is how our regular superannuation system works in Australia. Only most fighters probably don't participate in it.
Better to live one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep the saying goes. Mortgaging your future for a brief stay in the sun doesn't look like a good idea but to a young man at the peak of his powers and seemingly invulnerable, it must be tough to deny yourself the good things when you have sacrificed so much.....I like the idea of a percentage put away for retirement, but for most that wouldn't add up to much....I think the physical and mental tolls are higher anyway and some fighters pay more than others....
The common denominator, in these guys demise was don king too playing the brother card against whitey!!
I hear ya' King would always tell the black fighters, us brothas gotta stick together because the evil white man is out to get us, meanwhile he's ripping them off from head to toe, what a POS... Sad thing was most of those idiots were warned about that thief, but signed with himm anyways..
