You're right bro. But not arrogant boxers like Ike. He was so arrogant that he went alone to fight and never cared if the flag of Ghana was raised or national anthem was played. He was beaten and that ended his career. No Ghanaian will say a word if Proffesor Azuma had wanted that job.

What so t of culture have promoted for all these years. Whenever someone is aggressive, outspoken and takes no prisoners we are quick to label him arrogant or too known. If someone stand for themselves and not allow others to bully him then he's arrogant. I guess that's why foreigners come to Ghana and shit on us because we are too timid and our society promotes timidity

By the end of his career Ike was worth close to 20 million dollars. He could have used this money to invest in boxing instead he used it to build hotels. I wonder how that business is going. Instead of waiting on the govt u should help by setting up a promotion compNy. I sure hope u didn't mismanage all the money u made

Who will give Ghana amateur boxing to indisciplined Ike Quartey. Go enjoy your millions and leave amateur boxing to rot. It will still be better without you. By the way who do you take advise from. ask yourself.

Allotey, are you the one to tell the guy where to invest his money. When he was working hard getting all the beatings , where you? If he was that stupid he wouldnt earn over 20million dollars.The fact that hes a former boxer doesnt mean he should invest in boxing. And who told u that investing in hotels is bad business

With this mentality. Just because someone is proud and aggressive and outspoken and has swag and confidence don't mean they are arrogant. Ike quartey had style, he believed in himself, he was proud and and had dignity he won't go out to the ring to lose a fight for money unlike some banku and okoro soup boxer that we know. He was a fight and skilled fighter at that. And he was stylish and full of life and even larger than life. He lived life to the fullest and he's still myoung and rich so don't hate on him. Being confident and standing up to idiotic corrupt officials don't make you arrogant

Please stop using the word respect in this game of boxing . If you respect your opponent in the ring he will beat you to death . In boxing you put respect on the side and try to beat your opponent as if he is your enemy after the fight you can be friends again check out Mike Tyson and Holyfield they are now friends but they were not in the ring. Ike is right he can do it.

The new Amateur prostitute just finished her first trick and when she came back
down to the street, the seasoned professionals all gathered around to hear
the details.
She said "well, he was a big muscular and handsome Boxer".
"Well, what did he want to do?" they all asked.
She said " I told him that a straight lay was $100, but he said he
didn't have that much". "So I told him a blow job would be $75, but
he didn't have that much either". "Finally I said, well, how much
do you have"? The Boxer said that he only had $25.
The new Amateur Prostitute said "well, for $25 all I can give you is a hand job"
He agreed and after getting the finances straight, she said " he
pulled it out and I put one hand on it, and then the second hand above
the first and then the first hand above the second hand....."
"Oh my god" they all exclaimed, "it must have been huge and Gargantuan dick"! " then what
did you do?"
"I loaned him $75!" she said.

You said it right. This young boxer disrespected Ghanaians and agree to fight without Ghana National Anthem just because he was asked to give some percentage to support others. Arrogant looser.

Bro Nartey,I am shouting because of the extreme selfishness this guy displayed during his career.He wouldn't even allow local boxers around him when he was training.Small gestures go a long way to help amateur boxers in their formative years.Boxers like Azumah,Nana Konadu Bukom Bank have given generously their time and money and haven't asked for anything in return.I am tired of some of these people dragging our image in mud.
