Mann turned pro August 24, 1977, and was managed and trained by Carmen Graziano and promoted by Cedric Kushner. Mann ran up an impressive
18-1 record before losing a 10 round decision to Philly legend “Bad” Benny Briscoe (62-18-5) September 11, 1979. He also fought future
champs, Bobby Czyz (10-0), Doug “The Cobra” DeWitt (16-1), Dwight “Tiger” Walker (16-2-1), Mike Baker (39-14-1), Mickey Goodwin (26-1),
Vinnie Curto (45-5-3), Juan Domingo Roldan (48-2-2) and John Collins (22-0). One of his most memorable wins was a 7th round knock out
of Frankie Suarez (11-2) for the Florida State Middleweight Title, October 24, 1978 in Orlando. Another big step in Mann’s career was
when he upset California contender Robbi Epps (30-1) March 20, 1982 in Atlantic City and broke into the world ratings. After a loss to
James “Hard Rock” Green (12-1) he came up short in a bid for the ESPN Middleweight Title to Mike Tinley (13-1-1). He retired shortly
after on November 30, 1984 with a 28-15, 15KO record. Always a fan favorite, Mann fought in many locations including Philadelphia’s Spectrum,
New York City’s Felt Forum, and Atlantic City’s Resorts, Caesar’s Harrah’s, Sand’s and Tropicana Casinos.
