Now this is sad

Floyd has made over $200 million

He will go bankrupt within 5/10 years of finishing boxing. He has a HUGE gambling addiction. Bets like £250,000 on NHL games. Is fine at the moment as he can fight and earns millions, but as Mike Tyson proves, you can make 100s of millions in boxing but soon waste it all too.

Why do professional sportsmen do drugs. Idiots. No sympathy. Hope he never fights again...Not that fighting/boxing is much of a sport anyway.

I'm guessin you call running around a field with a little ball and then jumping on the floor and cryin as soon as someone touches you a sport?? 

Not at all. I feel 'training' to beat people up is moronic. I am a fan and play many sports, many of which require much more skill than punching someone hard in the face.

Footballers these days are a joke. Regardless of the job, if someone paid me £10k a week I'd do it happily. I do not know what sort of money boxers earn but I imagine they make more than enough to pay there mortgage and the rest.

You wouldn't say there was no skill if you'd been in a ring. It's a beautiful beautiful sport

Indeed. I would love to have seen my dad box but unfortunately he gave up when I was too young to remember. He was Southern Area champion when by the time he was 18 

I remember when I was about 13 jumping in the ring with my mate who had been boxing since he was about 5, thinking I was gonna be awesome. Needless to say I got my ass handed to me within 10 seconds

The amount of training I had too do for just my first fight was crazy, and that was only three 2 minute rounds. These guys bash out twelve 3 minuters without a blink!! Crazy crazy crazy amount of fitness

I don't doubt the fitness. But there are many other sports out there which requires similar if not greater fitness and much more skill. You are right, I may not think this if I had been in a ring. But I zero intentions of ever doing it. As I mentioned earlier with my opinion. I mean no offence by the way, not calling you a moron or anything...

Its not purely fitness though.. Have you ever had a giggle with a mate who can box and tried to hit him...

Its UNBELIEVABLE... Its like trying to hit a ghost.. So quick to move and step out the way and just tap you now and again..

I love watching boxing and MMA.. Not simply for the knockout but for the skill involved.. Especially in MMA where you can't just be a master of one sport anymore.. you need wrestling, boxing, mauy thai, bjj..

Absolutely mental state of affairs

My coach at the time was over 100 bouts and no losses and that was like trying to punch something impossible. Worse thing was he would literally stay an inch out of range so you would punch and your fist would land an inch in front of his face every time. So frustrating
