Who Is the Worst Worst Managed Fighter?

[#YOLO]

Chris John is quite an underachiever IMO. I didn't know if it was management or himself that made him stay here but he had skills, exciting too he could've earned a lot more.

He makes a lot of money fighting in Indonesia.

[brettWall]

Gamboa.

He's broke, from what I heard.

Would a good manager not recognise this and advise him how to further his career? But instead he has to beg guys he's already beaten clearly to fight him again, just so he can earn anywhere near decent money. He's one of the top 5 fighters in the world, for fucks sake, if he was managed properly he'd earn 10x more per fight than he does now. To blame his style alone is nothing but a cheap cop out, casual fans buy boring fights all the time.

Boxing is about entertainment first and skills second nobody wants to watch a boring fighter. Andre ward is boring outside the ring and EXTREMELY boring inside it. I'm surprised his management got him that hbo deal. Ill watch Andre ward when I want to pass out on my couch, normally about 8th round I fall right asleep. If Andre ward becomes the next cash cow boxing is in trouble.

Ward isnt poorly managed. Hes just a boring personality. He needs to stop with this fake nice guy act. **** is weak. Black fighters dont sell well as nice guys

I disagree, all fighters with a boring style dont sell well as a nice guys. you are over generalizing all black fighters because of just mayweather. Tyson was on top of the world in the late 80s and he had a nice guy persona. If don king wouldn't have corrupted tyson or Cus lived into the 90s tyson would have been the first billion dollar athlete.

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

didnt ring magazine write that he was worth 20 million dollars in their latest issue?

Ring magazine don't know **** about boxing.

[LacedUp]

that's correct. he probably has a flat fee for training, but if not, he makes 10% to train, and 30% to manage.

he makes almost half of what haye makes, before taxes.

Sincerely doubt any of those figures are true.

[New England]

Sincerely doubt any of those figures are true.

i don't make sh#t up. i've spoken with more managers of boxers in the last five years than you will ever speak to.

i sincerely do not care, but here you go:

muhammad ali act states that a manager can't earn more than one third of a boxer's purse.


and here's michael marley, disclosing the 17% he was set to make off of a purse as a co - manager.
