I am a boxing manager: if you have questions about the boxing biz, ask!

I understand most boxers come form bad demographics and dont have a chance to be educated.... i am not one of those... my methods are my own. Sorry im smarter than you

 

You people are fools, paint whatever pretty picture of the business as you'd like to for the other people.

With your being educated, please do share how you protect yourself without the proper management. How are you going to get the fights that you need to properly grow.

I see the sky and tell you that it is blue, you guys shoot back that I'm just a loser (as if you'd know) and that the sky is green.

You guys spout a lot of opinions for knowing next to nothing about the subject. That generally equals ignorance.

:happyBravo. When Jasper hits ****rty and Dempsey ever had a bout of his own maybe we'll talk again, hopefully not.

Your misrepresentation of the business is just that, misrepresentation.


And the Meat Wagon probably still gets more miles than you each year.

The boxing world is but a spot of tea on sunday afternoon.:good

 

good highjack of a good thread tho eastside, good too see this site going back to its roots of trolls everywhere

 

You win then, promoters will look out for the fighters well being while completely disregarding their own.:thumbsup

as for hijacking a thread, LOL........ a one thread a day forum, you need this site hijacked. It'd probably be better off.

 

I just came across this thread and I haven't read it so perhaps it's been answered. But I'm an accountant and a financial advisor by profession, and what I would like to see is part of each purse, say between 5-10% minimum go into an annuity to which would give the boxer some kind of pension later in life. Not sure if disability insurance would be an option but it wouldn't break my heart if promotes were required to allocate a certain percentage of their revenues towards paying this as well. But since disability premiums are an ongoing purchase and may not be offered given the nature of the business, the annuity option has more appeal to me. Can you enlighten me as to whether this happens, or is being considered.

 

I'll check back next week, maybe there will be a new thread in here, lol..... ghost town and you guys probably wonder why.

 

.demps,in your many years of managing and being in boxing.have you ever come across a fighter that broke his arm.?(in or outside the gym?)...is that a potential career stopper?...i broke my left arm,close to my hand 2 days ago.:-(.(in three areas)...docs have contradicting answers-does that mean that arm is ALWAYS gona be weaker?..(even if the bones fused the proper way)..id hate to have that in the back of my mind,not letting me go all out in training...i know its not your area of expertise ..but maybe you went through this with one of your guys...thnks ! (...lets all bring this site back to how it was..,great learning ! and great info!)..thnks Dempsey or anyone outthere that knows the answer)..:bbb

 

I broke my forearm when I was 22, had a plate in it for 18 months. I haven't had problems beyond some pain when the weather is cold, and that is rare. I worked construction, hit the heavy bag every day, and, later, caught 20 and more rounds a day on the mitts with no problems.

That was my experience but I'm not qualified medically.

 

Ok..thnks guys..one good thing?-..i have to take it easy at work..and more time to watch
Boxing documentaries /fights on u tube..(just hope doc wont say ..no more training!..)..ii gotta try to stay positive ..lol..:bbb (no insurance!:-()
