Canelo weighs in on Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s reported financial issues and reveals the lessons he learned early in his own career:
"I've been learning this for a long time, seeing all the fighters get here and then end up in the same place. I try not to be one of those fighters.
I bought my house and cars and this and that, and then I realized I only had like $200,000 in the bank when I had like $8 million... I went, 'Oh my God, the money goes quick.'"
🚨Nassourdine Imavov CONFIRMS he's fighting Sean Strickland for the belt
"I wanted to fight Dricus to stay active, and the UFC told me I could only fight for the belt. After Khamzat vs. Strickland, I'm 100% fighting for the belt."

Ben Askren just retired after his wrestling match against Belal Muhammad
“Every single day I wake up and thank God for the chance to do it one more time.”
🚨 Ben Askren just lost his wrestling comeback to Belal Muhammad 6-3
He was leading 3-0 going into the final round and Belal managed to come back and win
What an INCREDIBLE story for Ben Askren to even make it back to the wrestling mat ❤️
🙏🤝 Ben Askren says his comeback is about inspiring those who are struggling right now:
"From competitive standpoint, to me, this match is not about winning or losing. It's about showing how stong a human spirit can be in overcoming adversity.
Over the course of the last year, I probably get two to three messages daily of, 'Hey, I'm going through some hard sh*t. Watching your story has inspired me to push through it and not get down on myself and realize I can still live my life the way I want to.' It's more about that than anything else."

Islam Makhachev believes the biggest challenge now is not losing everything he has worked for. 😟🥹
"I will not be modest that in this sport I have achieved all the heights. Right now, I just do not want to lose all of this, and I continue to train in the same way. I continue to feel this responsibility that people worry about me, cheer for me, and I do not want to disappoint them."

When Michael B. Jordan found out his childhood boxing coach Earl had lost his Newark gym to $67,000 in back taxes, he stopped production on Creed Ill for four days without hesitation. He wired the taxes, bought the building outright for $250,000, and drove there himself at 6am to hand Earl the deed in person.
