Hooker is long and lean. If he fights long and with fluidity and keep Rugaroo at distance, it will make for a very interesting fight.... CAN'T WAIT

By Keith Idec - Regis Prograis earned nearly $30,000 for his first televised fight. The eventual WBA super lightweight champion had never made that much money for a single bout before out-pointing Amos Cowart in an eight-rounder Showtime televised from Atlantic City, New Jersey, as part of its "ShoBox: The New Generation" series in August 2015...

It's great that he learned that lesson and this article should be required reading for up-and-coming fighters, especially those who are on undercards like Prograis referred to.

It’s an important lesson all fighters must learn, it’s a short career. You have to make sure you can make yourself financially sustainable.

Looking forward to seeing Prograis back in action. Good fighter.

I hope your right but it’s still a long way to the top if you get what I mean

Don’t know what you got until it’s gone
Hopefully he sticks to his guns

True that. There is no joy seeing, especially boxers broke after what they have given to the game. Hopefully, all boxers are paying attention.

Agreed mate. It’s happened far too many times throughout history...

Damn right
But if I had a dollar for every time I heard a boxer say this , I’d be ****** rich
Just tough for a boxer
Look at the people who hang around boxers , not the straightest guys

He seems like a guy that when his career is done, will have money to live the rest of his life on, assuming the markets come back and nothing else comes our way that cripples the economy in the same or in a different manner. Seems the only guarantee right now is a 5X savings account like I have.

Although he’s a clown, I do worry for Broner, the legal fees are mounting, more baby mommas = more child support payments, and the opportunities to earn money inside the ring seem to be drying up. Regardless of the person, I hate to see anyone have money then go broke.

Well said. It’s always tragic when gifted people fail to plan ahead. If AB cut back on his crew, on his lifestyle, he probably could still plan for the future. Most likely he has some years of lucrative boxing remaining if he cares for himself.

Those are the choices he needs to make but unfortunately I don’t see him doing it anytime soon, if ever tbh.
