Things not thread worthy

If Floyd was broke and had zero cash and was offered millions to step into the cage, he'd suddenly grow balls, too.



I do agree with you that modern fighters are more about bank accounts than fight legacies, though. Floyd is a prime example of that.

Conor wanted that money, no doubt. My point is that he was willing to step up at great personal risk to go after it. You just don't that out of boxing much these days. These guys are least risk/maximum reward fighters. Connie at least can say he went maximum risk to get what he wanted. He wasn't afraid to put literally almost everything, including his health, on the line. And he damn sure wanted the glory of beating the best boxer in the world at his own sport.

Floyd couldn't say the same. Even if Mayweather blew him out it was a stain on boxing.

The same goes for Oscar if he's serious. What does Oscar have to gain from a fight with Conor, other than money?

Conor covers himself in cash, honor, and glory every time he steps out of his sport to fight these guys in theirs. They get nothing but shame and cash.
