Moyer's shows in Spokane did not do well financially, and he did not continue on in Spokane after the Valdes-Carter bout.<br /> <br /> == Outside Boxing Life ==<br /> Moyer's parents, Harry and Rose, arrived in Portland around 1917 from Michigan. They struggled financially, and lived in the back of a store in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood, where Tommy grew up. His parents had always dreamed of running a movie theater, and finally were able to manage their first theater in 1933 in the Portland Sellwood suburb. The Moyers put the entire family to work in the theater, including young Tommy.<br /> <br /> Moyer's father also boxed professionally, but not in Portland. Tommy dropped out of school to train full-time, and would go on to win a National Amateur title, and claim a record 151-6. He had a brief professional career, winning all 5 of his professional bouts, retiring in 1946, he stated his disgust over cheap dirty hotels, and the criminal element in boxing.<br /> <br /> Tommy served in World War II (1941-'45) in the U.S. Infantry, Sunset Division, fighting in the Philippines. During this time, the Moyer family business continued to grow, and after the death of Moyer's father in 1951, the family business was turned over to Tommy, who managed the business, and his younger brother Larry, who handled the concessions. <br /> <br /> The brothers however, began to fight, and in 1966, and with outside financing, Tommy developed his first multiscreen theaters. After the project began turning a profit for Tommy, the rest of the family filed a lawsuit to claim a share of the profits. Tommy won the litigation, and then sold his share in the family business for $390,000. However, his problems with his younger brother Larry continued and the two remained business rivals over the years. Larry continued to operate the family's older theater chain, and Tommy went on to expanded his own theatre circuit.<br /> <br /> Through the 1970s and 1980s, Moyer grew his business throughout Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Nevada and California. By 1989 he owned 298 screens, which at the time was the nation's 10th biggest theatre company, and the largest privately owned theatre company in the US. Shortly after the death of his wife in 1988, he sold his company to Act III Theatres in 1989 for a reported 192 million dollars.<br /> <br /> In the 1990s, Moyer ventured into real estate and development. His major developments thus far have included the 1000 Broadway Building, The Fox Tower, the Portland Meadows, and many other properties throughout the Portland area, and Washington State.<br /> <br /> In September 2004, Moyer and a granddaughter were indicted by a grand jury on charges of violating campaign elections laws, for funneling money into the failed mayorial campaign of Jim Francesconi, by using false names. Circuit Court Judge John Wittmayer tossed out the charges against Moyer and his granddaughter in March 2005, citing Oregon free speech provisions guaranteed in the Oregon Constitution.<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> Fight Record: [http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=075366]<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> *October 12, 1996 Vancouver Columbian (dollar figure in sale of theater chain)<br /> *March 15, 1987 Seattle Times (business career profile)<br /> *September 23, 2004 Portland Mercury (campaign finance issue)<br /> [[Category:Promoters|Moyer, Tommy]]<br /> [[Category:Moyer Family|Moyer, Tommy]]<br /> [[Category:National AAU Champions|Moyer, Tommy]]</div>

(This was Moyer's fifth trip to the National AAU Championships.)<br /> *1999 Inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame<br /> <br /> ==Moyer Family ==<br /> <br /> Moyer is a member of Portland, Oregon's most famous boxing family, originally from Portland's Sellwood neighborhood.<br /> *Uncle of [[Boxer:Denny Moyer:009785|Denny Moyer]] <br /> *Uncle of Phil Moyer.<br /> *Younger brother of Harry Moyer<br /> *Older brother of Larry Moyer<br /> *Probably a Great Uncle of Steve Moyer<br /> <br /> == Promotional Career ==<br /> Tommy later promoted boxing events in the 1950s, most notably, his nephew's Nationally televised title bout with Don Jordan in Portland in 1959. Moyer promoted in Seattle as well, most notably the Sonny Liston-Eddie Machen bout. He also promoted three boxing shows in Spokane in 1958, two of which featured his nephews, Denny and Phil. The other bout was an ABC televised bout between Nino Valdes and Harold Carter at the [[Spokane Coliseum]]. Moyer's shows in Spokane did not do well financially, and he did not continue on in Spokane after the Valdes-Carter bout.<br /> <br /> == Outside Boxing Life ==<br /> Moyer's parents, Harry and Rose, arrived in Portland around 1917 from Michigan. They struggled financially, and lived in the back of a store in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood, where Tommy grew up. His parents had always dreamed of running a movie theater, and finally were able to manage their first theater in 1933 in the Portland Sellwood suburb. The Moyers put the entire family to work in the theater, including young Tommy.<br /> <br /> Moyer's father also boxed professionally, but not in Portland. Tommy dropped out of school to train full-time, and would go on to win a National Amateur title, and claim a record 151-6. He had a brief professional career, retiring in 1946, he stated in disgust over cheap, dirty hotels, and the criminal element in boxing.<br /> <br /> Tommy served in World War II (1941-'45) in the U.S. Infantry, Sunset Division, fighting in the Philippines. During this time, the Moyer family business continued to grow, and after the death of Moyer's father in 1951, the family business was turned over to Tommy, who managed the business, and his younger brother Larry, who handled the concessions. <br /> <br /> The brothers however, began to fight, and in 1966, and with outside financing, Tommy developed his first multiscreen theaters. After the project began turning a profit for Tommy, the rest of the family filed a lawsuit to claim a share of the profits. Tommy won the litigation, and then sold his share in the family business for $390,000. However, his problems with his younger brother Larry continued and the two remained business rivals over the years. Larry continued to operate the family's older theater chain, and Tommy went on to expanded his own theatre circuit.<br /> <br /> Through the 1970s and 1980s, Moyer grew his business throughout Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Nevada and California. By 1989 he owned 298 screens, which at the time was the nation's 10th biggest theatre company, and the largest privately owned theatre company in the US. Shortly after the death of his wife in 1988, he sold his company to Act III Theatres in 1989 for a reported 192 million dollars.<br /> <br /> In the 1990s, Moyer ventured into real estate and development. His major developments thus far have included the 1000 Broadway Building, The Fox Tower, the Portland Meadows, and many other properties throughout the Portland area, and Washington State.<br /> <br /> In September 2004, Moyer and a granddaughter were indicted by a grand jury on charges of violating campaign elections laws, for funneling money into the failed mayorial campaign of Jim Francesconi, by using false names. Circuit Court Judge John Wittmayer tossed out the charges against Moyer and his granddaughter in March 2005, citing Oregon free speech provisions guaranteed in the Oregon Constitution.<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> Fight Record: [http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=075366]<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> *October 12, 1996 Vancouver Columbian (dollar figure in sale of theater chain)<br /> *March 15, 1987 Seattle Times (business career profile)<br /> *September 23, 2004 Portland Mercury (campaign finance issue)<br /> [[Category:Promoters|Moyer, Tommy]]<br /> [[Category:Moyer Family|Moyer, Tommy]]<br /> [[Category:National AAU Champions|Moyer, Tommy]]</div>

Moyer promoted in Seattle as well, most notably the Sonny Liston-Eddie Machen bout. He also promoted three boxing shows in Spokane in 1958, two of which featured his nephews, Denny and Phil. The other bout was an ABC televised bout between Nino Valdes and Harold Carter at the [[Spokane Coliseum]]. Moyer's shows in Spokane did not do well financially, and he did not continue on in Spokane after the Valdes-Carter bout.<br /> <br /> == Outside Boxing Life ==<br /> Moyer's parents, Harry and Rose, arrived in Portland around 1917 from Michigan. They struggled financially, and lived in the back of a store in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood, where Tommy grew up. His parents had always dreamed of running a movie theater, and finally were able to manage their first theater in 1933 in the Portland Sellwood suburb. The Moyers put the entire family to work in the theater, including Tommy.<br /> <br /> Moyer's father also boxed professionally. Tommy dropped out of school to train full-time, and would go on to win a National Amateur title, and claim a record 151-6. He had a brief professional career in 1946, retiring, he stated in disgust over the cheap hotels, dirty hotels, and the criminal element in boxing.<br /> <br /> The Moyer family business continued to grow during this time, and after the death of Moyer's father in the 50s, the family business was turned over to Tommy, who managed the business, and his younger brother Larry, who handled the concessions. <br /> <br /> The brothers however, began to fight, and in 1963, with outside financing, Tommy developed his first multiscreen theaters. After the project began turning a profit for Tommy, the rest of the family filed a lawsuit to try to get a share of the profits. Tommy won the lawsuit, and then sold his share in the family business for $390,000. However, his problems with his younger brother Larry continued and the two remained business rivals over the years. Larry continued to operate the family's older theater chain, and Tommy went on to expanded his own theatre circuit.<br /> <br /> Through the 1970s and 1980s, Moyer grew his business throughout Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Nevada and California. By 1989 he owned 298 screens, which at the time was the nation's 10th biggest theatre company, and the largest privately owned theatre company in the US. Shortly after the death of his wife in 1988, he sold his company to Act III Theatres in 1989 for a reported 192 million dollars.<br /> <br /> In the 1990s, Moyer ventured into real estate and development. His major developments thus far have included the 1000 Broadway Building, The Fox Tower, the Portland Meadows, and many other properties in the Portland area, and Washington State.<br /> <br /> In September 2004, Moyer and a granddaughter were indicted by a grand jury on charges of violating campaign elections laws, for funneling money into the failed mayorial campaign of Jim Francesconi, by using false names.

Moyer promoted in Seattle as well, most notably the Sonny Liston-Eddie Machen bout. He also promoted three boxing shows in Spokane in 1958, two of which featured his nephews, Denny and Phil. The other bout was an ABC televised bout between Nino Valdes and Harold Carter at the [[Spokane Coliseum]]. Moyer's shows in Spokane did not do well financially, and he did not continue on in Spokane after the Valdes-Carter bout.<br /> <br /> == Outside Boxing Life ==<br /> Moyer's parents, Harry and Rose, arrived in Portland around 1917 from Michigan. They struggled financially, and lived in the back of a store in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood, where Tommy grew up. His parents had always dreamed of running a movie theater, and finally were able to manage their first theater in 1933 in a Portland suburb. The Moyers put the whole family to work in the theater, including Tommy.<br /> <br /> Moyer's father also boxed professionally, though not in Portland if anywhere. Tommy dropped out of school to train full-time, and would go on to win a National Amateur title, and claim a record 151-6. He had a brief professional career in 1946, retiring, he stated in disgust over the cheap hotels, dirty hotels, and the criminal element in boxing.<br /> <br /> The Moyer family business continued to grow during this time, and after the death of Moyer's father in the 50s, the family business was turned over to Tommy, who managed the business, and his younger brother Larry, who handled the concessions. <br /> <br /> The brothers however, began to fight, and in 1963, with outside financing, Tommy developed his first multiscreen theaters. After the project began turning a profit for Tommy, the rest of the family filed a lawsuit to try to get a share of the profits. Tommy won the lawsuit, and then sold his share in the family business for $390,000. However, his problems with his younger brother Larry continued and the two remained business rivals over the years. Larry continued to operate the family's older theater chain, and Tommy expanded his own theatre circuit.<br /> <br /> Through the 1970s and 1980s, Moyer grew his business throughout Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Nevada and California. By 1989 he owned 298 screens, which at the time was the nation's 20th biggest theatre company, and the largest privately owned theatre company in the US., which he then sold to Act III in 1989 for a reported 192 million dollars.<br /> <br /> In the 1990s, Moyer ventured into real estate and development.

<p>Lentz: /* Promotional Career */</p> <hr /> <div>== Amateur Achievements ==<br /> [[file:Tommy_moyer.jpg|right|thumb|Moyer in 1945, shortly before he turned pro]]<br /> *1940 Runner-Up in National AAU Championships (135 lbs.) -- Lost to Paul Matsumoto on a split decision.<br /> *1941 National AAU Champion (135 lbs.) -- defeated Gus Stanford in the final<br /> <br /> (This was Moyer's fifth trip to the National AAU Championships.)<br /> <br /> ==Moyer Family ==<br /> <br /> Moyer is a member of Portland's most famous boxing family, originally from Portland's Sellwood neighborhood.<br /> *Uncle of [[Boxer:Denny Moyer:009785|Denny Moyer]] <br /> *Uncle of Phil Moyer.<br /> *Younger brother of Harry Moyer<br /> *Older brother of Larry Moyer who boxed as an amateur at least, and was also a business rival in the theatre business.<br /> *Probably a relative (Uncle?) of Steve Moyer<br /> <br /> == Promotional Career ==<br /> Tommy later promoted boxing events in the 1950s, most notably, his nephew's Nationally televised title bout with Don Jordan in Portland in 1959. Moyer promoted in Seattle as well, most notably the Sonny Liston-Eddie Machen bout. He also promoted three boxing shows in Spokane in 1958, two of which featured his nephews, Denny and Phil. The other bout was an ABC televised bout between Nino Valdes and Harold Carter at the [[Spokane Coliseum]]. Moyer's shows in Spokane did not do well financially, and he did not continue on in Spokane after the Valdes-Carter bout.<br /> <br /> == Outside Boxing Life ==<br /> Moyer's parents Harry and Rose, arrived in Portland around 1917 from Michigan. They struggled financially, and lived in the back of a store in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood, where Tommy grew up. His parents had always dreamed of running a movie theater, and finally were able to manage their first theater in 1933 in a Portland suburb. The Moyers put the whole family to work in the theater, including Tommy.<br /> <br /> Moyer's father also boxed professionally, though not in Portland if anywhere. Tommy dropped out of school to train full-time, and would go on to win a National Amateur title, and claim a record 151-6. He had a brief professional career in 1946, retiring, he stated in disgust over the cheap hotels, dirty hotels, and the criminal element in boxing.<br /> <br /> The Moyer family business continued to grow during this time, and after the death of Moyer's father in the 50s, the family business was turned over to Tommy, who managed the business, and his younger brother Larry, who handled the concessions. <br /> <br /> The brothers however, began to fight, and in 1963, with outside financing, Tommy developed his first multiscreen theaters. After the project began turning a profit for Tommy, the rest of the family filed a lawsuit to try get a share of the profits. Tommy won the lawsuit, and then sold his share in the family business for $390,000. However, his problems with his family continued. Two weeks laters, Moyer was involved in a fight with his brother Larry, in which he suffered two fractured ribs. The two remained business rivals over the years, as Larry continued to operate the family's older theater chain. The two would continue to sue each other over the years.<br /> <br /> Through the 1970s and 1980s, Moyer grew his business throughout Oregon, and grew in to the Clark county suburbs, and even into Seattle and Aberdeen. By 1989 he owned 298 screens, which he then sold to Act III in 1989 for 192 million dollars.<br /> <br /> In the 1990s, Moyer ventured into real estate and devlopment.
