Just LISTEN CLOSELY...
This is still happening in the sport of boxing today. Now you have "Non Disclosure Agreements" forcing fighters to be quiet and pretend like nothing is wrong behind the scenes. So that is why I get a Chuckle out of fans who run around boasting about the fight purse of fighters. In fact the Fight Purses in Pacquiao case was EMBELLISHED to Keep up with Mayweather and it is "ALLEGEDLY" one of the reason why he was left with a HUGE Debt to the IRS. Also doesn't help when you hire these Hole In The Wall Agencies to handle finances and you find out when it is years too late that they been robbing you blind like GGG recently did
But Hey, who cares right, you have F#CKING IDIOTS who act like Groupies for these Promoters and are holding them up as some type of Savior for Boxing when they're not the ones who are in that ring taking punches
Promoters are SCUM! $$$ is their Bottom Line, they don't care about the Fighters. We Right now have a guy who can't fly back to the UK right now and had Memory Loss in the 3rd Round but forget talking bout his Health his so called "Fans" and Promoter are talking about where the damn rematch will be

Boxing has no interest in actually being transparent in many regards and actually putting in the effort in regards to improving things for the average boxer. I read an article months back talking about these issues with boxing legislation from the Alphabet organizations to the Ali Act, to promoters and fighters purses. Article was written in 2011 and it said there were over 8500 registered professional boxers. Obviously most aren't making anything and work 9 to 5's.
“Boxers are often poor, uneducated, and inexperienced in business”; nearly ninety-nine percent of boxers come from impoverished backgrounds. Thus, boxers obtain representation from managers who handle boxers’ business dealings, usually in exchange for one-third of the boxer’s purse."
Boxing has developed differently than other sports in the United States. Obviously the stakes are much different, but in most other sports you have leagues and teams and **** like Collective Bargaining where you an establish a minimum and maximum salary. Obviously that deals with labor movements in the United States and around the world which spread to every industry.
Boxing has been resistant to actual unions and establishing this. They would actually have to form a league and the "blue collar" boxers would have to advocate for themselves. You would have a fraction of those 8500 boxers in that league(but I think you would benefit from it). But the top earners most likely wouldn't appreciate it. If there were no CBA, Lebron and other super duper stars probably would garner $70+ million a year. Or be able to negotiate deals like Floyd and other top boxing earners command.
"Therefore, top professional boxers may find their earning potential limited by a ceiling on purses established during collective bargaining. While an earnings cap would likely be offered in exchange for benefits accruing to boxing’s vast underclass, it is unlikely that the sport’s elite would assent to, much less actively
pursue, the establishment of a union in which their interests would be decidedly idiosyncratic. Currently, superstar boxers “often have special individual talents” that allow them to exponentially out-earn blue collar boxers under the current system.209 The establishment of a union would permit boxers “to seek the best deal for the greatest number by the exercise of collective rather than individual bargaining power.”210 Thus, the very boxers whose star power would be most essential to the founding of a boxers’ union are also those who would be most likely to oppose it as contrary to their interests".
Check it out. It covers everything important and fundamentally ****ed up in boxing.
