I just saw a show on HBO this morning about Marvelous Marvin Hagler and his rivalry with Sugar Ray Leonard. After his (disputed) fight with Leonard, Marvin walked away from the sport, an 8 figure bout that was already planned and moved his family to Italy. If you're a boxing fan, make sure you see this show.

Right. Very good catch. Hagler is another great example of a pro athlete for whom fame and money meant nothing.

I saw it before, and ranted and raved around the house for days. The special reminded me of what a sham boxing had become. I didn't watch another fight for years, with the sole exception of the first Tyson/Holyfield fight
