Its impossible for a boxer not to consider on making money and some would really be focusing on building some hype and some would just have those words casually since they do know that they can still purse out without the need of those actings and trashtalking towards the opponent.
But some boxers are no choice sometimes so they will still accept small paychecks just to have a fight and build their names.
Casimero is a champion and I think he's already earning well every fight. He just wants more than his usual which might not easy to be granted since even for a champion, a name must be popular to make a market hype. A good PPV history is also a must so boxers are doing something interesting to sell the fight and that involves trashtalking the opponent.
Agree to that, doing trash talks creates attentions and that's how PPV wanted to cover,
if interest comes up from the viewers it will generate more money for both the providers and the boxers, knowing that they've got decent
shared profits every fight that promoters covered the fight. You need to build your name and create good attentions that not exempt even champions to do that to collect bigger paychecks.
Yeah its business and it turns out that this is already been part of it on where trashtalks and provoking words would really act out as a thing that will hype out the fight which means it could potentially
raise up the interest and curiosity of people towards the fight in regards into its outcome but there would be some bad impressions to this which might affect boxers popularity or views towards him
basing into those words that had been thrown but since its business then those people who are already long into this industry is already aware on what are those kind of gimmicks
just to hype out the fight.
