Gerry Cooney's Quote - All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport

Quote by Gerry Cooney

All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none. So when the fighter is through, he is through. While he was fighting his management was very excited for him, but now that he is done, that management team is moving on. – Gerry Cooney
