Quote of the Week!!--“Barrios is a tough, rugged fighter, man. Anybody who's seen Barrios fight knows he goes into each and every fight with a lot of heart and grits. I know he's going to be a tough, tough opponent. I'm just more confident in myself that I had all this done and leading up to May 31st I'll be prepared. I feel like I've revived myself with this surgery. I see the world a lot different. I see the world a lot better rather than in twos. Let me just say like this. I haven't missed my salt shaker yet. Before the surgery I would miss the salt shaker on the dining table. That's how bad my vision was."--Super Featherweight Rocky Juarez

     Common Sense--By Kenny Weldon  

 

   

 PROMOTERS OWN TELEVISION TRAINERS

      Why do world class boxers long to have a well known trainer, who works for a boxing promoter and is seen on television about once a month? This gives me a headache. First and foremost, the trainer works for the promoter, “not you”. Secondly he got there, not because he is a great trainer, but because he does work for the promoter. If a trainer is not independent of promoters, especially at an elite level, he is probably bought and paid for.

          REMEMBER I said this. I have been in this game over 50 years and have watched most of them sell out their boxers on a regular basis to get their faces on the screen. I would love to name them for you, but I would be in court for the next ten years or so. Managers sell out their boxers on a regular basis as well. Managers and agents who work between the boxer and the promoter are almost mandatory today, or you may never get rated in the world's top ten and if you do, the promoter who signs you will want to work with an agent or manager rather than you making the decisions. Who do you trust enough to turn down the promoter's signing bonus? Why do you think this is?

     In days past, boxers were represented by people they knew well and trusted. Today someone says "there's xyz. He works with GHD promotions and trains or manages this or that world champion’’ and boxers jump all over him. Hey boxers, get you a business manager you trust with your life. Not a boxing manager who needs money himself or is tied in up to his neck with the top promoters. If you can, and regretfully most of the time you can’t, get you a someone who works for you. I have given coaches' clinics all over the world and can tell you straight up the trainer you are with who makes nothing off of you, may not be the best trainer in the world, but knows more about honesty and teaching boxing than 90% of the trainers you see in the winner's corner on television. And guess what? THEY ARE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO SELL YOU OUT!! 

God bless,
