	Hurley thought about becoming a professional boxer prior to serving with the United States Army's First Division in World War I. However, he soon realized he lacked the physical ability to be successful. After the war, he began promoting and managing in his native Fargo, North Dakota, trying his hand with [[Masked Marvel\|"Masked Marvels"]] before discovering his most talented attraction [[Billy Petrolle]]. Managing the young Italian American allowed Hurley to travel throughout the United States, where he gave Billy the nickname, "Fargo Express," and dressed him up in a Navajo blanket, both of which resonated with sportswriters and served to make him a household name in the 1930s. Petrolle would go on to be a great fighter and become one of Madison Square Garden's biggest drawing cards despite not becoming a world champion.

	Hurley attempted to start a boxing career after serving with the United States Army's First Division in World War I. However, he had poor eyesight and lacked the physical ability to be a boxer. He moved into promoting and managing in his native Fargo, North Dakota, trying his hand with [[Masked Marvel\|"Masked Marvels"]] before discovering his most talented attraction -- fellow Fargo native [[Billy Petrolle]]. Managing Petrolle allowed Hurley to travel throughout the United States, where he showed some of his managerial savvy, which included dressing the Italian-American Petrolle in an American Indian blanket to hype him up as an Indian boxer. Petrolle would go on to be a great fighter despite not becoming a world champion.

	When it came to training and managing his fighters, Hurley was known as a perfectionist with strong ideas. He would drill his fighters to do exactly what he expected of them.

Hurley also selected the opposition of his fighters carefully in order to bring them along gradually--methods in vogue today.

	Hurley attempted to start a boxing career after serving with the United States Army's First Division in World War I. However, he had poor eyesight and lacked the physical ability to be a boxer. He moved into promoting and managing in his native Fargo, North Dakota, trying his hand with [[Masked Marvel\|"Masked Marvels"]] before discovering his most talented attraction -- fellow Fargo native [[Billy Petrolle]]. Managing Petrolle allowed Hurley to travel throughout the United States, where he showed some of his managerial savvy, which included dressing the Italian-American Petrolle in an American Indian blanket to hype him up as an Indian boxer. Petrolle would go on to be a great fighter despite not becoming a world champion.		Hurley attempted to start a boxing career after serving with the United States Army's First Division in World War I.
