Abstract

The article features boxing fight promoter George Parnassus. Parnassus was born in Greece and in 1915 he migrated in Los Angeles, California where he worked as a dishwasher and hat checker. He established a restaurant business in Phoenix, Arizona where most of the customers were Mexican and many were boxers. He married Rosalie Montez De Ocas and by the mid 1920s managing was his profession. He also became a title holder in 1934 when he knocked out Ceferino Garcia and had a welterweight title over Barney Ross in 1936.
