He sat down and told us he was pleased with his performance, it was a big fight and another big name fighter asked what he earned. I got 7 was the reply the big name said £7000 not bad the kid replied no £700 we all looked at each other shocked. Without anymore to do bigname rang the promoter on his mobile and was told they were pleased with the kid and they paid £7,700 to the manager. After the manager kept his licence and thats not an isolated case. Something has to be done. Something has to be done why does a manager get 25% and the trainer 10% the trainer does all the work, the manager does what hes told by the promoter. The succesfull Fighters manages himself and has a good lawyer
CC Scrap and the sad thing is there are probably countless stories like that.
