John Ort, "The RING", March 1969 "Sonny Liston picked up his coffee and doughnut money for the year when he knocked out his former sparring partner Amos (Big Train) Lincoln ..." Randy Gordon quoting Carl "Bobo" Olson in an article called "BOBO OLSON---NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF: "Olson said when he signed with Flaherty, Sid told him, 'You take care of the fighting , I'll take care of the money'. Throughout his career, Bobo insists Flaherty upheld his end of the bargain all too well."patsch:bbb:fight

Here's something I've heard my dad say on occasion. An ex boxer. On Boxers First your legs go, then your money goes, then your wife goes. Don't know where he picked that one up.
John Ort would know about money ,he was heavily implicated in the scandal that severely discredited the Ring during the USA title fights,taking kickbacks in return for false ratings , he was afterwards referred to as John Bought.

Willie Pep said all of his ex wives were good house keepers ,after he got divorced they kept the house.
