Rio Ferdinand (futbola) to box as a professional at age of 38

[jas]

donates a lot to charity

and has been through a lot in his personal life

i cant judge this move , dont know what is going on in his personal life and how he feels, he may feel he needs some sort of challenge for him personally, i doubt he is doin it for attention or money

i did see a gif where he tries puttin his shirt over his face and it hits him in his face and he reacts like he was hurt....after having seen that i think he probably gets knocked out vs anyone decent

Fair Play to him, In some ways if a 38 year old man can turn professional within boxing! (This is why for me, It is a great sport! It gives anybody, anybody a opportunity to earn a living! All you need is courage, and the Heart to enter into a realm of competitiveness that few men dare to).

A guy with kids at home, one punch can change a man's life.

I wonder how big his drawing power will be....

he is one of the most well known footballers in the last 10-15 years in europe. id say every pro and semi pro will watch. football is the most played sport in the world so the numbers wont be bad, shouldnt be on ppv as he aint after money. so should get good views

Let me know when his debut is. I like him when he was at Leeds United but when he went to Man U, you know I had to hate.

Not at all. He could make some money out of it thanks to his name, but plenty of quality boxers don't thanks to the usual boxing politics/promoters controlling the sport.
