Review: Thirty Dollars and a Cut Eye

Thirty Dollars and a Cut Eye, the new book from Hall of Fame promoter J Russell Peltz, is an important book containing 57 chapters, 424 pages covering his 50 years in boxing.

What Peltz accomplished seems almost impossible today. He became a successful boxing promoter at the age of 22. You would think a kid that young would get eaten alive in the cutthroat world of professional boxing – especially on the mean streets of Philadelphia.

But Peltz is just as tough as the fighters he promoted.
