Precisey. Someone who’s looking to make a few quid, from doing the bare minimum.
I don’t want to stereotype here, but Billy Joe Saunders was exactly the same, and to a lesser extent, Tyson Fury started off with a similar mindset.
(Both of those fighters - eventually - got the kick up the arse that they needed, to push on in their careers. However, they wasted a lot of time doing sod all, and it’s undeniably stunted their careers).
The young lad clearly displays this mindset, that’s he’s not overly bothered about excelling in the sport. I know he’s young, as
@Ricey has said, but this is the precise time for him to be learning his craft, and not necessarily through fighting.
He’s got the opportunity to be in-and-around a great gym, with some decent boxers & some excellent trainers. But instead he’s chose a relatively small sum of cash, a holiday & Z-list celebrity status, instead.
Can you imagine Iron Mike telling Cus D’Amato that he can’t train for a while, as he’s off to do a television show?
