http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/shows/cuba/index.html Here is a link to a documentary (ONLY AN HOUR LONG) that follows a couple of boys to their attempts to win the national games in CUBA, mainly focusing on a towns main training center as they prepare for the national games, talking with the head trainer of the gym etc. One of the boys father is an olympiad at one of the olympics years ago. :bears:
It's SAD that a Team Soooooooooooooo CONSISTENTLY TALENTED is Soooooooooo Grossly UNDER Rewarded... Didn't Casamayor get a PIG & a Bike for Winning Back to Back Gold Medals???:: ... REED is SURPRISED that MORE Cuban Fighters DON'T Defect... David Reid Got a MILLION DOLLAR SIGNING Bonus for Beating a Cuban w/a LUCKY Shot N the Last Round,@ the '96 Olympics...Anybody Know what the Cuban Got???:dunno: REED
These guys are rewarded with money, homes, fame, business.... If it was so bad, we'd see more and more leave. Now, don't get me wrong. It's not right and in some cases there are exceptions and are terrible to their fighters. The ones that defect now just want the excess.
You could pay up to $70,000 for some of the Chevys they got down there. Outside of that....., as you yourself say, NATHAN.
