HOW PUGILISTS EARN THEIR
"BLOOD MONEY" AT TRADE OF
HARD KNOCKS
BY CHARLES J. LIVINGSTON
CHICAGO <ANP> Boxing
has rigftly been nicknamed the
"Trade of Hard Knocks." No other
human indulgence demands as
| much from its participants in blood,
| sweat and tears, as the sport of
mayhem.
The fist fighter pays dearly in
many ways for every blasted penny
he earns Yet there are many who
bt grudge him his hard earned
spoils His critics say the pugilist
earns, too much money for his com
paratively small talents.
Most of this type of criticism
comes from educated "eggheads."
who view the pugilist as a refugee
from the street gang, and sport
writers who "waste" their energies
reporting his brutal activities, as
"campus rcnttiades" who should
be kicked right where they sit at
their typewriters.
The chief beef of the ivy-league
critics is that the first fist fighter is
an emancipated rascal who may
earn more in a single night, or in a
few fights, than hightly educated
mortals, versed in the mysteries of
the universe, may earn tn a whole
lifetime. Such critics' appraisal of
the prize fighter is superficial and
prejudicial.
Lets look at the facts and ponder
the circumstance* and other intan
gibles Chat determine how the prise
fighter earns his bread.
First of all. it takes courage to
participate m an occupation as dan
gerous. rugged, exacting and com
petitive as boxing. In fact, time a
pug climbs into the ring, he flirts
with the undertaker and expends a
portion of his life. At home, his
wife or mother clutches hands to
gether and pray for his safety.
By contrast (not comparison), for
instance, an economist's wife never
need to fret that he will be felled
by a single problem, nor fear for
his safety at work.
The career of the average pug
runs from 10 to 15 torturous years
During that time, he wages about
44 battles and fights about 1.2000
i three-minute> rounds before pay
, mg customers who demand hit ut
j most efforts, and 1.400 more rounds
lin the gymnasium.
He burns up energy gulore.

punches (those thrown outside the
clinches) "perround or 3,800 blows
per fights, and is punished by ap- |
poximatly the same number by his j
more or less equally potent adver
sary. Over a period of 10 years, the
fist fighter tosses and absorbs more
than 50.000 punches.
Also on the negative side, the a
verage pug suffers some sort of in
jury in evey bout. He loses on an a
verage of about a half pint of blood
every two flights if he is a "bleed
er", and the same quantity in every
100 bouts even if he is not suscep
tible to cuts.
it was estimated that former
heavyweight champion Rocky Mar
ciano lost about a pint of blood
(from cuts and nose bleeding) in
his first title defense against ex
champ Ezzard Charles.
