James Braddock vs. Joe Louis ~ June 22, 1937 ~ 'The Skinny'

[Bill Paxtom]

That deal is as good as a dive. Disgraceful.

~ The Skinny ~

James Braddock didn't hit the 'Lottery Wheel', but what he got from Joe Louis' future take.

* 10% of his Fight Purse per Year for 10-Years {1937 thru 1946}.
* But, no more than $15,000 per Year.

All in all, James Braddock got another $150,000 over 10-years.

But, Braddock had to give his Manager 30% off that.

Plus Braddock had to pay 'Taxes' on that 'pay out' as Income.

Joe Gould {Manager for James Baddock} 'snuffed' Julian Black {Manager for Joe Louis}
in what Sean Connery called it ......."That's the Chicago Way"
