I Quit
Dont fight in this sport,dont be around this sport,the whole things fucking fixed.
And if you try to buck the fix, they will grind you under. Im sick of it, the whole sports a fucking joke.
Im sick and tired of the fleas when I lay down with dogs, fuck the entire sport until its actually a sport again.

Re: I Quit
And I can tell you why Im discharging my responsibilites to this sport and then Im retired.
I looked in my sons eyes when I tucked him to bed,and I compared it to all the conversations Ive had about fights recently.
I want my son to be able to say, "My Da had integrity, he was a man of his word, and his word was bond" long after Ive gone to wind
Ive failed him otherwise

He trusts and believes in me, that means I have to be worth that trust,and Im afraid if I stick around it much longer, I wont be.

Re: I Quit
Shit happens TM...
I'm sure you knew about it before you got in. I'm sure you've known about it for sometime now. It's not like it happened suddenly and you didn't know anything about it.
Whether you bite the bullet and tough it out or the shits gonna eat you alive.
Especially in boxing you gotta have thick skin to make it. I myself have witnessed some loud shit when I've been aroung local promoters out here.
Shit ain't right...

Re: I Quit
Ive had to lean heavily against my personal code of ethics,and the reason I did was to take care of the fighters. Because despite what most promoters seem to think,no fighters, no sport at all. Ive often waived fees to do it, which is why Im in my house/gym wearing a jacket right now. If I thieved and stole and lied like the rest of the scum that litter this sport, maybe I could crank the heat and get some better insulation. Thats the whole sport, you get your head caved in and someone else counts the money, but when it comes to your share,they suddenly cant count right anymore.
Ive said flat out no to alot of the slop that ruins this sport, but even if you keep yourself clean for this sport, its only, clean for this sport, not for real life.
There are things we take as givens in this sport, that if they happened in any other,thered be a federal investigation. You think the manager of the Rays last night said,"We're on their home turf here,dont let it go to the umpires or you cant win"?
If two people have the guts to beat seven kinds of hell out of each other for money,pay em fair,and make the whole thing fair. Ive done my damndest to help faciliitate that, but Ive been sleeping next to dogs too long, and my fleas are itching.

Re: I Quit
First off its plethora
LOL Funny.
What will you tell the plethera of fighters you train? Will you recommend another trainer? What about Hartley?!
Secondly I fully intend to discharge my duties toward my fighters
Thirdly, I have no intention of ceasing training,but the management/ promoter end is making me ill. The whole reason the sport is as screwed as it is, is because people just accept it, and deal. I hold myself in higher regard then that.
If you find it funny to walk up to a accident, and figure out how you can get resale value on the car.
Well then thats on you son, and I hope you'll find it funny when you meet your maker, but it sure as hell isnt going to be on me anymore.

Re: I Quit
All great writers have an editor. Still it's a sleazy busy so let me know now if you're not doing this full-time.
What stinks it's just one less kind soul in the buisness. One less voice to curse and swear at S.O.B. and his evil dealings.
And I betcha I could take the child's bike to the pawnshop on the way to the used car lot!
Are you saying that you're my maker? Or where and now are not? I'm not understanding your instructions, MT.

Re: I Quit
It could easily be made better, but people need to stick together. They dont, and its preyed upon to the point, where people just assume thats the way it is, and there's nothing you can do about it.All great writers have an editor.

Every person should have a point where morally, they say to themselves and the world, "Oh, to hell with this, because I cant compromise my morals any further" Ive reached my point.
You want to make an enormous amount of money? Call me with the start up money, I can easily fill a card for you.
