Interesting info re: Young Jerry Quarry's Career Copy link and review this long article http://dmboxing.com/my-memory-of-jerry-quarry/ Example info: "Jack Quarry had convinced his son to drop Johnny Flores. However, Flores still had two years remaining of a seven year contract signed by the fighter upon his turning professional. Papa Quarry didn’t pay much attention to contracts and attempted to sign with promoters for fights involving his son. He soon discovered that the contracts were no good without Flores’ signature and that promoters had no time to do business with Jack Quarry. This infuriated the elder Quarry and Jerry as well. As wrong as it was to alienate himself from Flores, Jerry made one smart move at the time and that was to get rid of his father. Unlike Flores’ contract, Jack Quarry’s contract with his son had expired two years previous and had never been renewed. Johnny Flores would still be entitled to one half of 33.3% of all of Jerry’s future earnings until 1972. The father would be entitled to exactly what he deserved, nothing. At the time Jerry had become friendly with a very well known Los Angeles attorney known for his underworld connections. It was no secret that Quarry was upset over having to honor Flores’ share of future purses and a few months later Flores’ became the target of an attempted contract hit involving two off-duty Los Angeles police officers. The attempt upon Flores’ life was a failure and never connected to Quarry directly. The L.A.P.D. was able to play the incident off as a case of “mistaken identity” but Flores sued the City of Los Angeles and settled out of court. "
