A Good Guy > Henry Armstrong

Henry was to receive a $19,000 Fight Purse for the rematch.

Henry's manager {Edward Meade} was supposed to get his typical
1/3 Manager's Fee.

But Edward Meade suffered a heart attack, and would not be able to
attend the January 17, 1941 bout @ Madison Square Garden.

Henry then stated that he would give his Manager 2/3's of the Fight Purse
{$12,500} and that he would only take 1/3 {$6500}.

Henry Armstrong >

"My Manager has taken care of me well, and invested my winning's properly.
I have over $65,000 in the Bank and 'annuities' that will net me $90,000."

"After this bout, I will retire and get into the 'Wine and Whiskey' business."
