He said there isn't a best trainer,they are all special. 💯.
I hope Michael Moor gets some help financially.
You can always donate him some money that would be a big start...
That's a fact! If I wasn't struggling myself I certainly would. In fact once I get it together financially I will.
That's a fact! If I wasn't struggling myself I certainly would. In fact once I get it together financially I will.
Teddy was basically abusive mentally and physically even in the corner with him. I don't throw that word around lightly either I can't stand everyone calling every little thing abusive but this felt like abuse to me when I would watch those between round scuffles they had. Teddy was a lunatic towards him.
@aetnaone He was trying get him to fight harder. Michael had a tendency to go on cruise control. Moorer was fortunate to have Teddy in his corner.
Being in the hall of fame doesn't pay the bills. We hear fans talking none stop about fighters should be fighting for their legacy. Rubbish. Fighters should fight for as much money as they can to secure their and their families financial futures.
I'm sure Jake Pool would give him a nice payday, age wise he's perfect for Jakey
But Moorer made the money. He had both. And somehow lost all of his money.
He gave you the numbers imagine taking home 30% of what ever you make weekly or by weekly you could not survive so the same goes for them..😢
It's not just making money but also knowing how to manage it. Many of these athletes come from poor living conditions and have absolutely zero financial education, which is why they end up broke once they retire.
Legacy equals currency overtime George Foreman got the grill because of his legacy. Mike Tyson can make money off of his name because of his legacy so legacy does matter I think boxers should have unions and pension plans like all the professional athletes. Don’t even get health insurance that is criminal that they do not even get health insurance. I’m just saying compared to what other professional athletes have in terms of benefits. It is ridiculous. The boxers do not have the same benefits.
Turned pro in 1988 and won a world title before the end of that year....6 title defenses in 1989 alone. Amazing for that time period...
Yep, I became a fan of Moorer especially with him fighting out of the Kronk gym.✊🏿☀️🌟🛸🧬🔥💯
@@keithluckett3331yeah as lightheavy he was something
To be fair, it was the WBO belt, which at the time was basically what the IBO was in the early 2000s. (I think it´s fair to say that the IBO has lost a lot of it´s prestige)
@@SuperCrazyEstonian But which of the 175 champs would have beaten him?
Indeed !
Thx alot for letting Michael Moore talk without interrupting him gd job!!!! Wow Sad story
Biblically it pretty much says Pride comes before destruction. Mike fell in a trap yet Sadly with all the fast, slick talking managers, experts etc a young athlete even entertainer often does Not understand the terms on the CON-tract they sign and end up Conned...😮
Freddy Roach tried helping him out, letting him work at Wild Card gym, but his temperament caused too many problems, so he had to let him go.
filipino friends of mine went to go see manny train, moorer was a jerk to them and was unfriendly to people ... charged one of my friends a dollar for leaning against something ... the altercation was caught on hbo video previewing a manny fight
yes i remember watching an interview where he pissed off a few high profile Filipinos who had come to watch Manny Pacquiao fight
I met him at the HOF years ago, a kid asked for an autograph and he got moody! I said wtf it's just an autograph and me and him had a face off! He would've killed me lol, but he took his sunglasses off and signed a few autographs including one for me! I said thanks champ.
@boxingod wow! At least it ended well!
I heard manny told Freddy to get rid of him
That was excellent Michael and I fought together in a few nationals we were in Russia together at the first Goodwill games he is a great guy and a hellava fighter
at one point... he was the most exciting guy at that time... sad to hear about his situation... did you ever turn pro
Wish Michael moorer the best articulate honest fair man he deserves the best the champion the legend
I did I was 8.w. OL tore my acl in the second to last rd in a fight I was Winning by a landslide they stopped it had surgery never got better
Moorer was real cool to talk to in person. I met him in 2010 in Graziano's bar near the hall of fame event. He asked me if I boxed and looked like he was sizing me up LMAO. Real nice guy. Enjoyed watching his career especially at light heavyweight where he was destroying everyone.
*I had 46 amateur fights. My record was 42-4 with 3-round smoker bouts, as a Lightheavy weight at 175 lbs. I had fought Golden Gloves and made Finals at Nationals. One day, I figured it out. There are two kinds of emplyment income; Income earned, and paid benefits. Athletes only receive earned income for sacrificing their bodies. At, the end. You have paid 2/3 of your earned income to promoters and managers. While you NEVER earn any paid benefits of Pension, Health Care, Profit sharing, etc. When I understood this at 28 years old. I left my amateur boxing career behind and dismissed any Pro boxing career. Despite my Camp trying to convince me otherwise. I went onto Cal State University and became a Registered Nurse*
🧢
Mike you should really look into the whole tax thing dont 10 mil received but out of that you pay 5mil out you can write off 5mil of the 10mil as wages/expenses
What year did you fight in the GG Nationals?
@@robertstroud7561
1989 I lost close fight to Terry McGroom. I was basically out pointed with jabs. After, I knocked him down in round 1.
@@robertstroud7561 he didn't 😂😂
A lot of professional athletes go broke within at least five years after retirement. The ones who go broke were never taught financial responsibility in the home or in a sports organization. Instead, they get ripped off by just about everyone.
He is very cerebral still. Thats a good thing.
Not really he’d trail off topic alot
@@venicec3310 You can listen to him talk and tell there is some intelligence there, that he's a deep thinker. He's just not as lucid with his thoughts as he used to be. A boxing career will do that to you.
Got to be about that paper mane
Loved Moorer back in the day. Excellent fighter, one of the best ever at Light HW. His fight with Cooper is an absolute classic! I truly hope his financial situation can be worked out. It’s horrible these guys put so much on the line to wind up broke. Boxing needs a better system
It's sad that they take advantage of fighters the way they do...
The Indiana and Ohio State Fairs were great tournaments for emerging amateurs back in the day. Great to hear him reference them...
It's so CRIMINAL how the system takes advantage of fighters and they're left in shambles and out on the street. It's fucking SAD. Makes me angry.
This Man was a Beast ! ...possibly the most underrated of all time and his LHW Championship run is unprecedented ! Well deserved Hall of Fame induction !
The WBO was not considered a "World" title at that time
He speaks the truth. Boxing is corrupt and a "criminal enterprise" on how the fighters are paid/treated.
Facts!
No one is required to be a professional boxer. No one seems to want to take accountability for their stupid decisions. Mikes story is the entire history of boxing and yet he felt he making a intelligent decision 😮
You can say that about any entertainment business
yup. as louis armstrong used to say,despite his big success, same folks still on top.... sad to hear this,but theres many others who went the same rout.. i knew a top contender who was promoted by the local businesses ,but when he got brain hurt, they dropped him like a hotn potato, he died in oblivion..
You don't need to be a boxer! Do something else...or make the money you take home work for you like Mickey Garcia did
My dad is 1985 WBC LightHeavy Weight Champion J.B Williamson. I’d love to watch you interview him. He has some great stories and we should get them before he’s too old. I can give you his phone number. He was just inducted into the boxing hall of fame a couple years ago.
I remember him, hope he’s doing well.✊🏿☀️🌟🛸🧬🔥💯
@@keithluckett3331 he’s doing well. His memory is incredible. He has story’s about Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali and many other great fighters and events! A real people’s champ! My 3 sons are really influenced by him. All 3 won jr Golden Glove tournaments this year.
Wow, I’m actually glad to hear Mr. Williamson is still alive. There have been rumors to the contrary for years because he seems to have a pretty low profile.
@@Odawg96 very low profile! He’s a very humble man and still the people’s champ to the family.
I was a policeman for 35yrs I have a great pension and social security. If I lost any of those I would be broke. I lost my wife's pension when she died in 2016.
Damn, 69% of the pay taken plus he was on the hook for training camps and miscellaneous things. Pure robery!!!! He also paid as if he took home the 10 mill so.... the taxes plus the 69% in fees.... There needs to be a boxing UNION asap!!!!
By avoiding fights?
69% is criminal 💯. How in the world is a fighter supposed to make 10 mil at the end of the day he takes the less money, that's really, really bad.
Until there is a boxing union, everybody just needs to sign with PBC. They have the best track record for taking care of their fighters. PBC fighters go out of their way to praise Al regularly because he makes sure he sets them up for life after boxing during their careers.
Most hated by racist boxing fans, but most loved by the majority of his fighters.
@@akilade0824 why is everyone leaving your black king then?
Same for Mayweather....
Great interview! I appreciate how you let him speak and express all of his thoughts. Sadly, Mr. Moorer's story is all too common in this sport. It would be great to see him partner with like-minded allies like Deontay Wilder, Andre Wilder, Floyd Mayweather, etc.
Thank you! Much appreciated! 🥊
Thank you for sharing this interview. I remember running into Michael a few times around Detroit. Always a nice laid back unassuming guy. Great interview. So sorry to hear of his financial troubles
This was a great interview.
Blessings Mike 1st Southpaw Heavyweight champions ever🙏
Like Hagler, Crawford, and a lot others, including Zhang, a current Heavyweight, Moorer fights Southpaw but is actually Right Handed (the hand he writes with). Fighters like Spence, and others, including Wallin at Heavyweight, they're Southpaws that are actually Left Handed (the hand they write with).
@DEEDUBZ yeah he's what you call a converted southpaw
@@slidecounter5813 Yep
@@DEEDUBZ
That's a fact! spence is also a converted southpaw though.
@@moneycryptocurrency1024 Spence writes with his Left Handed. He's a natural Southpaw.
Hey Michael if you see this i was always a huge fan of yours, you were a superb, god bless you i hope everything in your future is happy and prosperous. From Dublin ☘️
Keep your head up, brother Michael. Good luck on starting up a union. Congratulations on being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
I remember when we were little kids, Tony Madason...RIP myself, and you would jog to and from Charleroi PA and train with your granddad...RIP Monessen Home Boz 4 life...❤ Much luv brother.
Excellent interview, thank you and much respect to Mr. Moorer.
Every boxer should listen to this interview.
Absolutely!
I can see this happening to Ryan Garcia
Great to see the champ. Speaks well and he looks healthy. 🙏💪
That makes me very happy. 👍
This is one of the darkest, realest descriptions of what fighters went, and are still going through till this day. Hopefully they ban together and create a Union or at least life time Healthcare!!!
Agreed
That's right!
Sad to hear!
Appreciate Michael Sharing His Experiences With The Business Of Boxing
I absolutely loved watching Michael Moorer fight for sure 1 of my favorites.. his combination punching and grit is was always on display.
Truly heartbreaking glad he brought this out to light😡
Yeah right!
Man I feel so sorry for him. One of my boxing héroes growing up.
Very telling and necessary interview.
Thought that was B-Hop at first.
This interview is deep. He had some facts 🔥🔥🔥😔
Sending prayers up for the fighters and hope thT our sport does better
Thank you fighthype for this interview.
I give y’all a hard time for your clickbait titles and hating on certain fighters but this was great for y’all to do.
This is why when fighters like Floyd, Canelo, and gervonta ask for the pay that they know they deserve I support them getting paid and make sure I pay for the ppvs.
These fighters deserve it.
Promoters and managers get a too big of a cut of the fighters money which is bs. They aren’t the ones risking their life in the ring/ training relentlessly.
Michael Moor the best heavyweight southpaw before Usyk.

I met Michael in Melbourne Australia, he was a pure young gentleman.
The old school men NEVER talked about their accomplishments. My father was an undefeated amateur fighter in DC and Golden Glove champion at Light Heavyweight in the 1950's.
Guys if got nothing good to say don't say anything at all your mothers or fathers should of taught you all that
They never taught us about mental health and therapy either. It's best to release all of those emotions. The key is speaking to the right individuals who you can confide in who are willing to lend an ear. Everyone needs a person they can talk to and lean on in hard times. Telling someone to be quiet and suck it up is so played out.😁 It's equivalent to the stubborn old head with the flip phone that refuses to adapt to the times.
@@rotweilerscholar1181Are you making excuses to be an a hole?
Most Of These Disrespectful, Uncouth Idiots Are Millennials And Gen Z. That Should Explain Everything... Unfortunately 🤷🏿♂️.
one of the best interviews i have seen this year realest too
Great insight on want goes on behind the scenes in boxing 😢
Great to see this champ in the HOF! Nice that he still speaks clearly. Way to go Double and congratulations on your much-deserved induction.
Michael Moorer was always a class act. One of the great Kronk fighters under Emmanual Steward. I always admired Michael Moorer and respected his abilities in the ring. His biggest weakness as a fighter I believe was his chin. He was really more of a light heavyweight, to be honest, even though he made the decision to move to heavyweight.
I would sue all those greedy people that took advantage of you throughout your career. You will always be champion 🏆 in my eyes and no one can take that from you. God bless you and I will keep you in my prayers champ!
Still a real heavyweight in every sense of the word. Thanks, it was very special to listen to him.
It's a well known fact that the title 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World', is the richest prize in sport. Yet we have a great former champion that won it multiple times and HOFer in a situation like this. So sad. I really feel for him, getting screwed over like that. I'm also broke, but if i'm ever in a position to help him one day i certainly will. I grew up through my teenage years watching MM, so i know how talented he was. God bless you champ and congratulations on your HOF induction, fully deserved. 👏🏻👏🏻 Sending love from England, UK 🇬🇧. 💙
Worry about yourself, young man. Michael Moorer has been crying about being "broke" for years.
@@anengineer8848 Ok.
If he had stayed at 175 he would have been one of the best light heavyweights ever and maybe the best
I think that making the weight cut would've cost him and he would've never made the money he did
Let me find out champ be in Columbus, OH. I'm about to help champ get right. Check your DM champ!
Help him out bro 🙏🏾
Whating Michael coming up in the pro ranks was one of the most exciting things I ever saw in boxing. He was a monster.
That Bert cooper fight was fire
I thought Cooper was getting ready to knock him out in the first round
*Michael Moorer was an incredible boxer* and the first southpaw to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. With titles in both light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions and a record of 52 wins (40 by knockout), his skill and power were unmatched. His victory over Evander Holyfield is legendary. Moorer's induction into the Hall of Fame is well-deserved. Congratulations, Michael Moorer! 🥊🏆 #BoxingLegend #HallOfFame
Always been a fan and thought you should have gotten more respect before, but glad you are finally getting your due. Now that you are getting notoriety you will find opportunities for income. You will be OK. Keep in prayer and I will pray for you. Put on the armor of God and Stand.....Thank you Michael for just being you and for your career.
Such a great fighter. Sad to watch him process his thoughts. Boxing has always been such an entertainment. But the fighters have so much head trauma
Always wanted to see Moorer vs. Morrison. My two favorite Heavyweights
I think Moore should write a book and inform the public about things he and others went through in those days and probably the second one, based on the success of the first, where he outlines things that go wrong in the sport and advise present boxers on how they can better take care of their business! I know promoters are very shrewed and some cruel to their fighters, but never knew that managers were also part of the problem. He does sound like an honest brother, bigups to him and good luck on his future endeavors within the boxing world... I wish he could get himself contracted to helping young fighters either as a manager or trainer. He is deserving of a Hall of Fame!
"Moore"? Michael Moore makes successful documentaries. Maybe he should do one about boxing.
Good to see Moorer. Also, glad to see him make it to the boxing HOF. Moorer, also broke down the shady deals some boxers had or maybe still have to go through. Smh.
Hopefully Big George can help his fellow fighter out! He is a multi millionaire!
George's comeback was to build a new church. Michael deserves some of that overflow.
Michael was knocking shit out of big George up until George landed the bomb…lol
I understand everything that Michael Moorer is saying but, you should have voiced his frustrations and made things right when he was at the top of his game... That's when he could have made the changes to secure better purses. Roy Jones took control of his career and pretty much promoted himself for a long time and make sure he got the bulk of his money. Michael Moorer had a reputation of only training when he wanted to and when he felt like it. No one wanted to train him and Teddy Atlas had to will him to win his championship fight against evander holyfield. Teddy Atlas is more famous for his corner rant than Michael Moorer was for that fight.
That's it d*** shame.They need To hold congressional hearings on this topic. Whatever district boxing boxing is held in.
The congressional. Leader of that.
District to go to Congress in Washington and hold hearing on why these boxers are not getting paid and why this is happening Point blank. on this

Mr. Moore, great insight on the boxing world, someone is going to bless you with some MONEY!!!
I grew up in it starting at 7-8yrs old at the YMCA. Had a bunch of amateur bouts, figured out going Pro wasn't practical for me. Loved it and have been around it off/on most of my life with a fair number of guys I knew who did turn Pro. I'm 100% on MM and all the ex Pro's side struggling or not. However, sometimes because of tough situations guys don't negotiate their contracts properly in the beginning and they end up on the short end. I gotta say though, it's not like you did it completely blind, because it's not like it isn't talked about, alot! It's was pounded in our heads like punches, how much these managers/ handlers/promoters were sharks, constantly, it's not a surprise!EVERY teenager around that was showing potential it was a Huge topic of discussion.
Jemal Hinton rip and Oba Carr was there with Champ too, loved Michael with Emmanuel at the Kronk absolutely Fantastic!!!
Those were the days.✊🏿☀️🌟🛸🧬🔥💯
I'm shocked he wasn't already in the hall of fame. One of the best light heavyweights in the history of boxing, and went up to heavyweight to become world champion while defeating several of the best fighters that division had to offer at the time!
The manager is obviously taking too much. Probably 10% would be more reasonable. But if Moorer had invested his money in the stock market and/or real estate he would be worth millions today and never would have had to worry about affording medical insurance.
Congratulations CHAMP, glad that you have your health!❤
We all broke. Doesn’t make him less of a person. He’s just like any other man struggling.
surely teddy atlas can throw michael a few bucks
This is a very complicated issue-The deeper issue is that outside of the top boxers the lesser fighters really don’t make that much. It’s a feast or famine kind of thing. Interestingly Saudi Arabia is now overpaying fighters and also paying older fighters to make appearances.
Still the truth is that a lawyer should be handling this business on a flat fee and not a percentage.
He made $7 million for the Foreman fight even after tax and fees if he was left with $1.5 million he should be set for life from just that one fight
That's crazy. Managers and promoters robbing these fighters. I'll manage my own money and promote myself
Turki should do a Legends event for fighters like Michael. Exhibition fights to give these guys a payday. It's so sad how fighters are exploited, particularly from the past.
Its terrible. He even paid for a house and later found out the house never belonged to him.
@@dedetreek8893thats crazy
Great interview..love Moorer great fighter...sometimes in this interview on funny note he sounds like Col Kurtz 😂
Induction into the Hall of Fame of ANY sport should include some kind of pension for those members in need, drawn from that Hall's endowment. Surely donations would be plentiful if a nonprofit were set up by the Hall for this specific purpose.
I was a huge MM Fan I watched him all the way from Tuesday Night Fights ESPN All the way through becoming Champion and reigning as Champion He was super skilled tuff He was one of the most balanced well rounded Heavyweights of all time.
Classy guy and great champ , he sounds a lot better than some but boxing sure does take it's toll.Stay fit and strong champ , being totally broke is no good , but if you got a little bit of money, your health family friends and a few hobbies are worth much more than all the money in the world.
Nothing but respect for you, Champ
Many great fighters like Michael put their heart and soul on the line for entertainment. They should be walking around like kings, enough money a permanent roof over the head. I love Boxing but the politics and business side of it makes me sick. Its so sad.
Im a huge fan of Michael moorer unbeatable at light heavyweight & so exciting at heavyweight the fight with bert Cooper 1 of the best fights of all time......I hope a wealthy fan can do something for this legend
I agree they should have another heavyweight division for men 250 and over or so and i agree also about thicker gloves too and i think maybe they should make the fights 10 rounds instead of 12 round fights
Michael did a fantastic job helping Freddie Roach train Manny Pacquiao for Ricky Hatton. I don't know why they stopped using him.
This is the most beautiful interview I have ever heard. It taught me that all of my favorite boxers were destroyed . Now that my heart is broken I hope that Jesus helps Michael Moore through the pain he is still suffering from the boxing world. He was indeed beautiful in the ring
Jesus won't be doing nothing here in the real world unless he suddenly leaps out from the pages of a children's bedtime storybook.

WOW Adrian Bronner, Errol Spence and know Mike Moor Mentioned benefits for boxers and where are those fees going to improve the sport...
Ran through Light Heavyweight so fast, we forgot he’s was one of the coldest to ever do it at 175lbs.
CONGRATS SIR AND DESERVES IT !
Unfortunate economics for the fighters, for sure. The wiser ones will recognize they have negotiating leverage and navigate themselves better. But I'm sure it's not easy. That said: What Michael said about the Promoters, Managers and the others not having to pay taxes on their take. That is incorrect. The boxer's tax is paid on whatever their take is (meaning the gross less all those fees) and then the recipients of the fees will all pay their taxes on their respective takes.
He was collecting for a local bookie here in Pittsburgh 15 years ago. He's heen down bad for a minute.
Wow that’s sad to hear. Almost like a real life post-retirement Rocky story
@@MoManny 1000%
@@SportsSharp412 boxers should have unions just like other professional athletes. It is the most dangerous sport to participate in and they get less benefits that is backwards.

Yeah man exactly he should ask Floyd Mayweather for some cash to help start it up
@@benjaminpowdrell8382 Yes! ☀🔥
What a cautionary tale. Ii hope Fighthype paid him to do the interview
Moorer was a monster at 175 and should have stayed there. He had some success at heavy and one could argue he made the right move but he would have been legendary at light heavy. Go YT some Moorer fights in the beginning of his career and take a look at his aggression at that weight vs Moorer who moved up. Totally different vibes. He's a classic case of moving up and it not working out weight and skill wise. He was much softer up at heavy.
I don’t think he like cutting way down after he started filling out.✊🏿☀️🌟🛸🧬🔥💯
@@keithluckett3331 True. I can imagine the misery those guys go through week after week to make weight. Plus what I meant by making an argument he made the right move was he almost certainly made more money doing what he did rather than having a legendary career at 175. The money was always different at heavy especially during those days.
@@aetnaone that’s true.✊🏿☀️🌟🛸🧬🔥💯
Micheal I watched the way you reacted in the ring after the foreman fight your a class athlete Michael
Yeah I hope that interview gets attention and all the boxers need to come together and make some demands because they're definitely getting mistreated and their the ones putting their lives on the line. U got some fighters with all that money buying dumb shit instead of trying to start Unions and getting some type of benefits for boxers after retirement. Something gotta give!
I’ve heard of the crooked business of boxing cashing in on fighters repeatedly for decades. But I never knew just how bad until Michael Moorer broke it down with specifics.
Also his resentment and bitterness as a result of it all really came through strongly.
Bad enough they dicked him over financially working everything in their favor but then act like they don’t know him now that his fighting days are over.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so saddened and angered by an interview.
He was 22-0 at one time! Hes nothing to blink at with a confused stare! He's a legit badass and the real wealth is your health. I surely hope that even though hes broke that hes happy, content and in touch with his inner Soul and Lord Christ Jesus. Most of us cant handle large amounts of wealth, sometimes being working class or lower tier poor isnt a curse of bad thing. There are many humble families in Mexico who have very little and eat beans snd rice daily but are healthy and happy
Moorer was actually 35-0 when he lost to Foreman, and was winning that bout on all of the cards before getting caught.
No, it's not that they can't handle the money.. It's the fact they don't make a lot of money...
@@jameshampton2899gtfoh, don't make a lot of money? Tell that to the average working class guy.
@@jjrob2738yep and 26-0 26 ko’s as a light heavyweight champion.
@@bmcarpetcleaningandfloorca4410 Truth! I have an old Ring Magazine titled The Best of '88 somewhere that he was on the cover of along with Tyson, Leonard and Nunn. I believe he was 12-0 and had just won his first world title at that time....great memories...
He still is one of the best ever and still can help any boxer but this i why boxing needs a union man and the man that can get it done is right where all the big fights been being put on wilder just was on a card and fury vs usyk
He is on to something with the idea for bigger gloves
