I sent two up to Ammies last year
They drove all the way up there,no fight. Kids were wrecked disapointed.
I send them to Toughman, I know their fighting.
And as far as all for the bucks,as you say.
Thats why I prefer Toughman
I send somebody to Toughman, and they win, I know my fighter is getting a grand, not, "Sorry kid,go home" for driving half way across the state.
Sometimes you have to put yourself in the other persons shoes,and your not doing that. These kids dont have the money to drive over hill and dale for a maybe.
You think cuz I drive 10 + hrs that magically gives me a fight? I've been stood up for more fights then I've had. But we do it...cuz it is an amateur santioned match...and the price you pay to box.

I can get a pile of friends together and I guaranfookin-T you they could raise money for me to find people to go in someones back yard, cuz it is a bit of a shithole where we live and peeps around here like that sort of thing...and the $$ would come in handy too. But I ain't taking an easy way out.

Just quit talking about them as boxers, and professionals and so on...cuz they are not. Not by example, not by principle, and not by boxing facts. They are guys brawling on a toughman card. And they aren't kids...becuz they gotta be an adult to do it. And their fights count for fuk all...other then the dollars they can jam in their pockets and maybe some bragging rights.

If it is what you do there, fine. But it is not boxing.
