Of course it's about the money....
It's been 16 years since his last meaningful fight, when he lost to Sugar Ray.....

Hearns absolutely thumped Sugar Ray in the rematch, knocked him down, and they gave Ray a draw.
The crowd booed it, the announcers couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it.
Hearns coming back is idiotic, no way he wins another title. He would like to fight at super middleweight or light heavyweight.
I hope he rethinks the idea.

His last meaningful fight was the Sugar Ray fight?...and Al's right...that was a draw...and I think Hearns really knocked the fuck out of Sugar Ray...
knocked him down a couple of times if I remember right...
hell no...that wasn't his last meaningful fight...
Virgil Hill...who was the up and comer...30-0 as a middle and light heavy...and favored to beat Hearns...and Hearns won that fight...
but to be honest here...I don't think that there had been many "NAME" fighters to fight him in his late years...since he was so closely associated to Hagler, Leonard and Duran...anyone past that equaled shit...
Leonard could'nt loose in Vegas, He was their Boy.
Hearnes won without question.

The Haglar fight? Only the 2 gratest rounds in history!
He's trying to get his kid a little publicity....nothing more.
He looked pretty happy sitting coourt-side at the Piston playoff games.

Dude, Haglar CLEARLY lost that fight to Leonard...
Yes, Hagler took Leonard lightly, farting around when he was supposed to be pummeling him....
But that was Hagler's fault for not fighting HIS fight...
He lost, fair and square....
Geez, who's next, Sweetpea?

Hearns prevails in comback bout
He scores ninth-round victory after Long fails to answer bell.
By Joanne C. Gerstner / The Detroit News
DETROIT - The crowd waited for the right moment to explode.
It had to be only a matter of time -- hopefully sooner than later -- for Tommy Hearns to take control of his comeback bout late Saturday night.
They hoped that, even at 46, Hearns' illustrious talent would be a true reality -- and not just a distant memory.
Hearns' first fight in five years resulted in a ninth-round technical knockout of John Long, but the former champ was definitely pushed hard.
"It's a start, it's a start," said Hearns, who now has a career record of 60-5-1. "I feel like I fought eight tough rounds. He (Long) was very determined. He wanted to go at it."
Long (19-7-1) wasn't swayed by the screaming fervor of the sparse crowd of 3,000 at Cobo Arena, nor was he intimidated by the taller, better-conditioned Hearns.
He surprised Hearns in the first round, connecting with a few hard body blows and shots to the head.
Hearns looked sluggish and his timing was off, allowing Long to pin him on the ropes.
The Cobo crowd was hushed in antsy quiet, unhappy to see Hearns to getting hit. A few implored Hearns to become more aggressive and get off the ropes.
Hearns' son, middleweight boxer Ronald Hearns, sat in his father's corner and seemed visibly concerned with every punch Long landed.
Ronald was fresh off winning his own fight on the undercard, defeating Donald Adams by knockout in the first round.
"It was a lot harder watching my dad fight than having to do my own," said Ronald (7-0). "It's been a while since I've seen my dad get it. It's not easy seeing that. But he prevailed. He got it done again. I have to give him all the credit."
Ronald gave his dad advice between rounds, and Hearns seemed to be taking his own mental notes.
Hearns got his bearings as the fight wore on. He connected in the fifth with vicious combinations, led by his right. Long staggered, unable to cope with Hearns' power.
The barrage continued, and Hearns opened up a cut under Long's right eye.
Long continued to get in a few shots as the bout went into the seventh and eighth rounds. But it was also becoming clear that Hearns rediscovered his substantial reach advantage over the shorter Long.
Hearns punished Long in the eighth round, sending him back to his corner in rough shape.
Long's corner advised the referee that he'd had enough, and the fight was called.
The crowd, unaware of Long's status, jumped to their feet in shocked excitement when the announcement was made.
Hearns was in good shape when the bout was stopped, as all three judges had him ahead, 79-72, on their cards.
He said this fight was just a warm-up for several more. He would like to challenge for another world title, something that is probably two or three fights down the road.
Hearns has won six world titles in five weight classes in his career.
"I think I am going to take a month off and then get back at it," Hearns said. "We'll see what comes. I think I am going to get better each time I get into the ring. Better and better. This was just the first fight, I got through it and I won. Now we go on."
Ronald Hearns wasn't as bullish as his dad on having future fights.
"I don't know. It's going to be up to him and the public," Ronald said. "They're going to be the final voice. But it's hard to see your dad get in the ring and get it. I kind of had forgotten about what that feels like as his son.
"My dad is a very determined guy. He's going to do what he wants. I guess we just have to be here to support him."

Well...why the fuck not...
Been the biggest Hearns fan since the beginning, but the dude should hang it up.
Shit...if it gets his kid a bigger payday in the end...let him roll...
Maybe he can get a couple of quick wins...and go out against Bernard Hopkins...or something like that...
I just hope he doesn't end up worse off health wise. You can barely understand a word he says anymore. And at 46, I don't see him challenging for any major title.
His kid does look impressive, I've seen a couple of his fights. Only a record of 7-0, so the competition hasn't been great yet.
