    For example...

    Myth: A champion deserves an easy payday after they win the belt.

    This is such bullsh!t. A champion doesn't deserve easy paydays. When you're champ, defending your belt isn't a right; it's an obligation. And that obligation dictates that you have to defend it against the best available competition that you can find.

    That is talk of a fan... A promoters job should be to make the most money for the minimum risk to his fighter. That means fighters will have a few easy (well as easy as boxing gets) paydays.

    Pretty much everything said about Mike Tyson is a myth.

    In reality the old champion keeps the belt(s) and a new one is awarded to the new champion in the following weeks.

    Modern fighters are better than old school fighters because they are modern.

    Old-school fighters are better than modern fighters because they are old school.


    Both of these myths wind me up.
