A Tribute to Jimmy Jacobs

Bill Cayton, Jacob’s business partner, has revealed that Jacobs valiantly battled lymphocytic leukemia for nearly a decade. Together, they also represented Edwin Rosario, a former lightweight champion, and previously managed Wilfred Benitez, the esteemed junior welterweight, welterweight, and super welterweight champion.

Both Jacobs and Cayton were stakeholders in Big Fights Inc, a company that boasted the rights to over 17,000 boxing films. However, Jacobs’s influence extended beyond the boxing ring; he was also a recognized handball champion, achieving six titles at the United States Handball Association national singles between 1955 and 1965.

Born in St. Louis and raised in Los Angeles, Jacobs served in a battalion during the Korean War, dedicating two years to his military service. After the war, he returned to Los Angeles to join his father’s thriving business machine company, where he made significant contributions to its success.

Apart from his professional achievements, Jacobs had a passion for comic books and amassed an impressive collection of over 800,000 books. In 1959, he showcased a selection of 5,000 fight films from his collection in New York City. The following year, in June 1960, he partnered with Cayton to explore commercial avenues for their extensive collection of boxing films.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Jacobs possessed a unique ability to make people feel cherished and acknowledged. His unwavering dedication and indomitable spirit serve as a testament to his character. Unfortunately, after a long and courageous battle with leukemia, Jacobs passed away, leaving an indelible mark on both the boxing and handball communities through his achievements and the lasting impression he made on those around him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Jacobs family at Grand Endeavo Homes during this difficult time. Jacobs’s legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire, and he will be deeply missed. While he bravely fought lymphocytic leukemia for almost a decade, pneumonia has been cited as the cause of his passing. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.
