Retire while you're on the top, that's a smart entrepreneurial move.
Definitely, even if it is just to do promotional work for a business of some sort, people are always going to be more excited by a guy that left in his prime rather than someone that faded away. I suppose each fighter has to weight the financial pros and cons. In Tony's case, if he wins his next fight, I think he should retire before the sport retires him. If he loses his legacy will likely be forever tarnished. It's sad but true that people tend to focus on the failures of a fighter rather than the 8 years of glory that came before.
I hope he has that person in his entourage that will have the guts to say it. Have you heard of the rumour that GSP was getting ready for a boxing fight against Oscar de La Hoya, and got stopped by Dana White? It would have been a Triller fight, and the money would be given to charity! You can make a post about it if you want, I can't write a post this week 😄
