Boxing’s decline in Maine under Caron’s financial glare
Caron cautions that amateur boxers cannot take money purses yet prizes must be at least $10, a plan with 10 bouts implies $100 in prizes. Out-of-town boxers should receive seven cents a mile travel pay, a last show cost Caron says hit $212. His financial report outlines required show costs and after gate receipts of $288, boxing in Maine is portrayed as a failing venture unlikely to rebound without changes and restraint on greed.
