Absolutely, even a basic designated retirement fund. Then again we're talking about some promoters and commissions who cannot even ensure proper event safety. I remember Gerry Cooney trying to initiate some after career health and job training program of some sort yrs ago but in an individual sport it has to be daunting as we know how tribal and arse backwards the sport is in the first place. Any reform has to begin at the top. We need a top.
