The things we say in the corner...

something tells me teddy's not taking a paycut or working with a third broadcaster, I just don't think there's enough "room" for a third mic on friday night fights.

does anyone know who's filling in for him when he goes to russia to train povetkin? tell us who to call to get you that gig scully.

I meant if Teddy were ever to quit, be terminated, etc...if they ever hire another guy I hope they call me at least for a try out...I'm actually doing Dmitriy Salita's comeback fight Wednesday in Brooklyn, NY , Steve Farhood and I are going to be doing it for a cable channel in NYC...hopefully I do well enough where I could send a DVD to the right people...

Hey John, are there any other professional boxers you're training? Also, have you ever acted as a manager before? I'm a big fan of the sport and have an accounting background and would love to manager a fighter. I'm working on a "financial literacy" course for fighters so that they can take control of there own finances and understand where their money is going, at all times...

It disappoints me when I read typical news stories where a professional fighter has lost alot of money due to mismanagement or has been taken advantage of by crooked promoters, managers, etc....

to tell u the truth I REALLY do not like the business end of boxing and, therefor, would never manage or promote, its just not for me...at this time I am working with a group of amateur and pros, some of the pros are Matt Godfrey, Mike Oliver, Matt Remillard, Ray Graceski, Joseph "Chip" Perez...might start working with a world ranked heavyweight soon, will know in a week or so...and maybe a former champion...will know more about that soon, too...

That'd be cool. There are alot of knowledgeable heavyweight division boxing fans here and it would be neat to have an 'insider' into the 'goings on' of the heavyweight contender ranks. Please keep us updated...

Question scully: Did your boxer Godfrey have to go thru olympic style testing against Huck?

Many many fighters have too much trust in their management...I wouldnt give my money to an accountant and just let him run free with it, I'd still check on every single move to make sure it was done with my best interests in mind...actually I wouldnt even trust someone else with even one of my nickels but thats another story...

Scully, why did you never work your self up for a fight with Calzaghe?

[starjammer]

Great read as always, Ice. And I second getting you on the broadcasting, I think you bring a unique insight and you articulate it very well.

I think about that corner psychology sometimes. I'm not sure what would motivate me, but I wouldn't fall for the standard tricks

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

appreciate that Star...I think sooner or later my big break will come...or I wil get more notice for the work I did three times on ESPN-News after the Mayweather-Mosley fight, etc...

I was never ranked as a super middleweight (not in the world ratings), only as 175 pounder...
