Do managers or "advisors" tell their clients, "you cant win that fight?"

[Boxfan83]

I know a manager/advisor is supposed to look out for the best interest of his/her client but do you think they actually tell their fighter, "I advise you not to take that fight because you will get your ass kicked or you will be schooled?" Or do you think they tell them its time to cash out??

Personally I would think a fighter would have more pride than to listen to these sorta things but Im beginning to think this is the era we live in...

I think it probably happens. These guys have matchmakers to protect their cash cow.


But it's still boxing and anything can happen

They probably just word it to them very nice. lol Boxing needs more bad asses that talk **** and back it up. Back a guy into a corner and lay off the tweets.

Yeah, this. I'm sure they choose their words very carefully.

Oh hell yeah they do

I'm sure there are some ****ty managers who do, but I'm sure largely its a carefully worded remarks like "there are better fights for you" or "there is more upside to fighting x instead of y" & **** like that that has more spin to it.

Randomly I'd loved to been a fly on the wall when Hearn sold Brook on the GGG fight. I personally feel like thats a cashout fight for Hearn with Brook, but obviously Hearn had to spin that fairly well I'd assume.

They fight who their told to fight. We have a name for that, *****es.

I'm pretty sure this is the case.

I really doubt managers will tell they're fighters, "you shouldn't fight that guy. He's just outclass you and make you look like a bum and ruin your career. Go fight Salka, he's more on your level."

No, it's more like, "that's a high risk, low reward. You'll win, but it won't be easy and you might take unnecessay damage and the money isn't there. A guy like Liam Smith should be an easier pay day and will enhance your career. Guaranteed W for big money."

No if you did you would be fired

Well maybe this B- Suth team
