I wouldn't qualify as a bucket boy at the elite level but I'd like to be a "Second"
If you want a job in boxing, you better get a well-paying '2nd' job first. Eddie Futch worked odd jobs- he worked for the post office when he went to LA- until he made money with Frazier. Jackie McCoy trained a bunch of top guys and he kept his job on the docks in LA.
And keep quiet about your 2nd job, or all the broke big-shots will be trying to get in your pocket.
Cut man, Mick the rub Williamson gets about.
Ring boy ;)
I was thinking escorting the ring card girls, when I thought up this thread watching the Brooks v Porter fight. :)
@Master
Porn supplier of the elites;D
Promoter.
I'm a boxing fan. That's the only 'boxing job' I'd want or am qualified to do.
Now THAT is a full time job, and certainly one where those in charge temp us to quit with every shat decision and mismatch ;D
I think fight night photographer would be a cool gig and perspective to the sport. No matter how far we come, the story of a still shot is timeless.
I would really enjoy helping foreign fighters with their language skills as they transition to the US and the sometimes difficult or odd post fight questions they face. GGG, for instance, is very entertaining with his English, but he currently struggles to express himself with any degree of depth. I hope to see him improve as I genuinely want to know more. Cotto was similar a long time ago, but over the years you could see a definite progression. I find it interesting to see how fighters improve linguistically. I notice with someone like Pacquiao there is never any real change. Marquez is another one that has shown improved second language skills.
@beenKOed knows I am straight. :)
