Why don't top boxers work as refs or judges

[boxing_rocks]

After they retire, some famous boxers become trainers or TV commentators, but none seem to go into judging. Any ideas why?

An excellent question, really !

[Ruthless-RKO]

Because being a referee or judge is extra work. They would much rather prefer to sit and TALK about the boxing, rather than be involved in a particular match up.

I feel most boxers, once they hang them up, they’re done.
