Hey Mike believe it or not Money comes second to me as far as my clients are concerned. I have a lucrative life outside the world of K-1. So lets call it a personal hobby or even passion. You are right though about protecting their interests as they cannot fight forever. If Mark decided to quit tommorrow as his manager I would respect his wishes if I thought they were for the right reasons. Our job is not to tell them what to do it is merely to reassure them of their steps and give them the best advise possible. I have the same attitude and approach with Ray as well. Too many managers seem to take the old school method towards management the bottom line is trust and if that ain't there, there is no relationship.
