Comments Thread For: Thomas Hearns Steps Up, Willing To Run The Kronk Gym

oh, well, in that case, why don't you enlighten us; what's she going to do with it since you seem so familiar with her?

I'm not familiar with her but nor am I an idiot.

If people were willing to break into your brother's resturant to steal vegetables and cuts of meat, what's going to happen when they found out he's died and left Kronk behind?

I suppose keeping the equipment in the gym and hiring 24/7 security is a more logical option.

Money hungry woman.. She knows she can make a couple million from his belongings..

Great job Hearns keep his legacy alive!

I cant speculate on what Manny's sisters motivation is, but that aside, how fitting would it be if Tommy, the Kronk's most celebrated fighter was to carry the gym forward into the future. Its a great idea and I really hope he can do it.

You do understand she's protecting it from vandalism and stealing.

Is that why she removed the ring as well? Have you ever heard of somebody stealing a ring?

Nope! But I do imagine she could make 40-50g's for it.

His sister had all of the Kronk memorabilia taken away the day after he died? There's a lot of history there, I hope it all gets preserved in the right way.

Good posts. No sense in speculating. I just hope Kronk is kept alive.

It's an amazing thing that Hearns is stepping up to the plate, to tale care and carry on the Kronk Legacy! The fact is though, it will never be the same without Emanuel but I enjoy the idea of Hearns continuing the tradition. I would like to see Lewis, Wlad, Lee, and the others he had trained through th years to step up as well!

Good on hearns I hope he does take over and it becomes a success. Somewhere Emmanuel would be smiling at the thought of it

Im pretty sure the sister is just looking to come up on all that mem. I know that sh it has hit the fan in this country especially in that area but to me Kronk is something you dont vandalise (typo) its like an unsaid rule you jsut leave it be you respect it.
I personally want to see Kronk closed and let it die with the man who help build it.
If anything re-open it as a museum dedicated to the sport and to the man behind Kronk.

Its only right..... I hope it all works out
