Nice interview by Percy Crawford of FightHype.com with Gary Russell, Sr., the father and trainer of undefeated Capitol Heights, MD featherweight "Mr." Gary Russell, Jr. concerning the next move for his son. As you will see in the interview, Russell, Sr. refers to an adage used a lot in the Beltway region.
"If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense."
Here's the link to the interview:
Gary Russell, Sr. interview
The talk was we were supposed to be fighting on the 19th in DC on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins. My feelings were we shouldn't be on the undercard of Bernard. Bernard is a good fighter and a novelty fighter and a good dude. I know Bernard. He's a good dude, but I feel we should get on our own card and headline our own card
ReplyDeleteGary sr is fucking up Gary jr career. How you gonna get a belt talking bad about golden boy and al Haymon. You can't fight top rank guys cause your not with them. So Gary what's your move. The big free agent
ReplyDeleteSr is right on the money about how the money gets chopped up before the fighter sees it.But he sounds like a ingrate. not remembering he has gotten 22 some what easy fights.
ReplyDeleteTheir is no free lunches in boxing.
Im sure Al Heymon does not like people talkin neg about him.he has 100 good fighters he does not need Russell Jr. so look for russell to get fucked because his dad showed his ass. even tho he was telling the truth.its a slave trade always will be.
Boxing has always been a unfair business in Gary,Sr is correct about all the BS nd Politics in the sport.Stand for something or fall for anything. Big Gary wasn't speaking bad about Al or Goldenboy Promotion he was speaking truth about the deal about boxing . Anyone who have truly dealt with boxing know he's only telling the truth about what really go on in the sport .(Yes) Big Gary is his on man who not a yes man one who'll speak what's on his mind.Gary,jr will get his opportunity to fight for a World Belt, why because of his ranking and there will be those who wil be watching to see the Character of those Mangers and Promoters. If they don't do what's is right The World will question them...
