I got 7 was the reply the big name said £7000 not bad the kid replied no £700 we all looked at each other shocked. Without anymore to do bigname rang the promoter on his mobile and was told they were pleased with the kid and they paid £7,700 to the manager. After the manager kept his licence and thats not an isolated case. Something has to be done. Something has to be done why does a manager get 25% and the trainer 10% the trainer does all the work, the manager does what hes told by the promoter. The succesfull Fighters manages himself and has a good lawyer
    CC Scrap and the sad thing is there are probably countless stories like that.

    Amat there are thousands If McCain could do more it would be great. All ruling bodies are self appointed money grabbing wankers who I wouldnt give the time of day, they rob my best freinds fighters and when the fighters need help theyre nowhere to be seen. The funny thing about all this is most of the time the managers are ex fighters, probably getting there own back on the new bunch of suckers

    http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill...?bill=s107-893

    The full text of the bill. Long read but worth it. It would enforce rules on networks aswell.

    The term ``promoter'' means any person licensed under this Act--
    (A) to hold, give, or otherwise conduct a
    boxing match, program, or exhibition; or
    (B) to broadcast a boxing match.


    I know that was Don King's supposed gripe with it, that he thought the networks should be sanctioned just like the managers and promoters.

    You know what!!!!!!!
    You know nothing about me!!! I have
    helped many people become boxers
    that never would have got the chance.
    And they have got to enjoy the sport you
    have only dreamed of doing. But if the National
    commission passes all my friends and I mean all
    of them will be kicked out of the
    sport because they simply will not
    be able to afford this right that they
    were born with , Ok , Ok I am sorry
    Holyfield , Ali and Tyson blew Millions
    having 20 different kids with 20 different
    women and will die broke in a ditch
    some were, but guess what we(Clufighters)
    are the working class people , we don't
    have millions to lose we just wont our right to
    fight and that's it .And for your information . I am
    only a promoter because no one else wants
    to lose the money to promote a show in my area.
    So IF U run your mouth about me like that , you
    make it so clear that you are just an uninformed
    a$$-hole , that only knows what you have watched
    on T.V., So to u the Cosby Show is the same as boxing
    so please listen to atleast 97% of active fighters
    that will lose there right to fight if this dreadful
    act is past !Boxing is not a privilege is a right
    and many people died for these rights over the
    years . And I honor John McCain as an American Hero
    who fought for his country , But he has never did
    anything to take away the rights of the thousands
    that will not ever be able to fight again!


    Boxing is a right of the middle class working people ,
    to take that right away is criminal !No matter
    what the wanna be's and the Politicians say !!!!

    Such bullshit Stacy. I like what you are doing autism and everything but all the commission calls for is basically nothing more then a physical. It's right there in language in that link. Just a baseline physical. What's great expenses will all together wipe out "clubfighting"?

    Wouldn't insurance, even Medic-aid, cover all that? Besides, that's all stuff that should be required regardless of the cost.

    Right we were born with? Boxing is a sport, sure you can compete but like every sport it cost to pay and safety has to be at a premium. For example, I play(ed) high school football, had to spend close to $500 for the equipment, and I had to get a physical through the team doctor which was another 50 bucks and I had to my helmet certified as safe which was $200 in itself. Lot of money and I wasn't getting paid nor was any of that stuff covered by any sort of insurance. Every sport has it's costs to compete in. Two fighters going out there in Russel Athletic basketball shorts and gloves from Big 5 is fine, so long as they are OK to compete. The fighters owe that to everyone, especially the fans because no one wants to watch a ticking time bomb in the ring. Especially when so many clubfights end in KO's.

    In the end it's in the interest of the fighter, financially and safety wise.

    Maybe Arkansas could do with some guidance?

    Stacey you've employed this guy, why? Maybe Im missing something here kinda like the people that scoff at the records of Strickland and Buckley without knowing the full story. But 9 consecutive KO losses, 6 in the first round?

    There have got to be safer was of paying the bills no?

    Maybe the better solution is to get a job that doesnt see you on a stretcher after 3 minutes?

    Out of interest how long is a fighter suspended for following a KO loss in that part of the world?

    Sounds like being a boxing promoter isn't such a bad gig.

    Are these annual expenses?
    $1,460?
    What other expenses are there, lisensing and what not?
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Exactly, regardless of the sob story, he's been KO'd 9 times 9 times out. That's the safety part. Not to attack Stacy, but I came across this recently and really couldn't believe it.

    Hmm. Using fighters as judges? Certainly cast a bad light, and I have a hard time believing JD has a judges license, something he would have to go through a national commision to get. He did your wife's fight and scored it for her. Now I'm not saying there is anything crooked, but she gets the decision on a card her husband promoted and scored by one of her husband's fighter. Wouldn't hurt if a legit commission was looking over the bouts. Especially since Sarah is world rated.
