Very true. Long term fighters deserve a pension as many, cannot cope in the 9-5 world after their career is over. Many become physically or mentally disabled and need something to fall back on.

Boxing is a vicious employer and everything is about right here right now. If they could implement salary slicing such as current fighters, promoters, and trainers giving 5% of their gross to a retirement fund, it would help so many. For that though you would need government intervention as the sport has a lot of greed and would never volunteer for such a venture.

Hey Deanrw , i agree , i think if they give a % of their gross to retirement , they will pay less taxes too .......
