Comment on Boxing: March of Time for Light-Welter and Welterweight veterans by Warwick Paul Onyeama

I think you are right. All three are damaged goods and can only still be fighting for the money. But what is it with fighters that so many end up in this position? As far as I can recall in over 60 years of following the sport, virtually all the great fighters end up fighting on because they have been unable to retain more than a fraction of their earnings. Back in the forties and fifties. the mobs controlled the fight game and gave the fighters pin money to get by on. Think of Robinson, think of Archie Moore who both fought on till well over forty just to make ends meet. And yet Larry Holmes did very nicely thank you, and built something of a business empire with his money. If he could do it why cant more boxers do the same?
