Thats why people should have at least one parent in his corner like tito. He probably doesn't even have to pay his dad to train him. You trust your homeboy? thats what being street does to people. Hope he learned his lesson
yeah, thought i saw a thread about this yesterday, i didn't read until i saw the headline on fight news.
all i got to say is wow, rule number one, never leave your finances to someone without having your hand in it and control over it the whole time. it's too easy for someone to get shady ideas when they know you aren't watching what they're doing.
having to move out his house!?!? that is ****ed, and now having to get back into the ring, wow, nando has a rough road ahead of him........
never been a huge fan had more respect for his warrior spirit, sad to hear this is happening to him............ it's not like he just tricked it off trying to make it rain, a la you know who..........
I hate reading stories of fighters being bilked out of their hard earned fortunes. Boxers really need to have more oversight of their finances rather than trusting a sole person to manager, not only their boxing careers but their money. If I was a manager I would provide to my fighter(s) a course in financial literacy..
