From earlier BoxRec wiki text about a boxing Sammy Aaronson:

"Like countless other great Jewish boxing figures of the Golden Era, Sammy Aaronson was born in the lower East Side near the opening bell of the 20th century. He was a professional boxer, matchmaker, manager, and trainer before he became the brains behind Sammy Aaronson Boxing Enterprises. Along with Tommy Dio, he established that office in 1938 at 1674 Broadway in New York City. Although it was heralded for managing the largest stable of fighters in the world during the 1940s, relatively few fighters were under direct contract to Aaronson Enterprises. It operated more as a booking agency. Almost 20 trainers worked with him, including Bernie Bernstein and Tiny Patterson. Aaronson was deeply upset by the death of Jackie Darthard at the hands of his fighter (Bert Lytell) in 1948 and blamed the boxing establishment. He distanced himself from the professional ranks and claimed that he was driven out of boxing by the corrupt International Boxing Managers' Guild in 1950. Aaronson was later known for his efforts to combat juvenile delinquency. He died in Los Angeles in 1974."
