    Not just Wlad, but Prince Naseem, Lennox Lewis, Holyfield & the Countless Other Fighters that Worked w/Manny Steward, who Can Afford It (Which is MANY Of Them)...

    HBO Should Pony Up Some Money Too...

    Kronk Gym is an INSTITUTION...Even if Boxers No Longer Wish to Train there, the Place Itself Should Be Preserved & Turned Into a Mini Museum, or Something...

    Sad to See Such a HISTORIC Building Go to Complete SHIT...

    As far as I know, Manny Steward made some SERIOUS money since the 90's. I don't know how he didn't buy that place.

    Would it have mattered though? Sure he could have bought it. In fact anybody on this forum probably could right now.

    The people in the know presumably didn't think there was any sustainability so how could anybody else?

    If Manny could see this place now he'd say "This is exactly how I thought this place would look after I died."

    nah man. Detroit is on a different level. The whole city is bankrupt and is pretty much the equivalent of a third world country.

    I think in reality the security costs alone make it difficult to afford to keep it running

    anything you put in there will get stolen

    Detroit looks rougher than any neighborhood in Chicago imo, most of the place looks worse than that gym. It's the roughest place I've been in in the US.

    Just the population decline of Detroit over the last 40 years is amazing

    If anyone is responsible for its condition, it is almost surely Manny, not people he trained.

    Kronk Gym, based out of Detroit, Michigan, is no longer open for business.

    One issue is all the corruption in the city govt.

    Detroit was run into the ground. Chicago is in financial trouble.

    All going to shit. Voters need to wise up.
