View Full Version : Looking to hire a professional boxing writer!
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 12:50 AM I may need multiple writers.
If your interested just reply here.
Pay will vary, depending on the popularity of your articles. (But it will be pretty good).
Im also looking at paying someone to edit youtube videos, unique ones, making controversial and popular videos. "I have already hired 2501 for this and will pay him some more, looking for others though".
Anyone interested reply here with what you can write about on the sport, specialty divisions (fighters from a specific country).
Cheers everyone.

Bhopreign 05-12-2008, 01:07 AM I would like to write some, have written for another boxing website before and love doing it.
merker 05-12-2008, 01:11 AM Is this for a Web site or magazine?
Are these 2 different positions or one-in-all?
mickey gomez 05-12-2008, 01:13 AM I may be interested, do you have full job details?
What is the publication or website? How often will articles be required?
What is the publication's target market?
I have 3 years experience in sports reporting.
Scott9945 05-12-2008, 01:17 AM If there really is money, then I'm interested. I've had articles published before that I can forward to you.
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 01:17 AM Thanks for all the feedback. Keep it coming. The more writers i can get the better. And the more people are going to be paid.
(KBALL videos look fantastic).
Right now, im editing the site. Spending $300 on a professional template. And then bang from there im gonna need some people up and running to write some good articles with me. Can put names at the bottom. Should be great.
I will have final details for everyone by thursday. Who i will need to write articles/edit videos/pay details etc etc.
Cheers fellas, Ult
NeXt In Line 05-12-2008, 01:23 AM I'm not a professional writer, but right now I'm in school as a sophmore at UMass Amherst, and my major is Journalism. I can send you some of my pieces that I've written, though there aren't many boxing ones so far, but I have written many pieces for school that focus on boxing as it's main subject alongside the guidelines given for the specific paper.
I would love to use this as a reference if you'd be willing to have me submit any pieces. I'm also a very good writer, though I don't mean to brag, but my writing is my best quality and is why I'm majoring in Journalism.

Great videos but that second one is a rip off of a video Bobby Pazuzu once made..
Sin City 05-12-2008, 01:33 AM I would like to write some, have written for another boxing website before and love doing it.
your opinion is worth as much as about a bag of hot air.
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 01:37 AM Ideally i will analyze what is required (If it turns out to be profitable - a lot of people start buying boxing tickets through the site, than i can pay everyone good money and get a lot of writers).
Im going to be working out the logistics very soon.
I will prefer it if i have people writing specifically about a specific fighter and division. Although i don't want you to hug the guys balls all the time. A non-bias article is what im after each and every time.
The site is currently changing big time (will look superve by thursday, then i will give you further details about what i need).
So far you have all been noted. Everyone who has posted here and "Sinatrafan" through PM. The good thing is i will most likely need quite a few writers which will give a lot of people work.
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 01:40 AM The multiple writers who are selected will need paypal!

I think I mistook the video for another one.. you and Bobby have similar work.
hello2007 05-12-2008, 04:04 AM i'm interested in this, let me know whats the next step after the paypal account
aussieboxer2320 05-12-2008, 04:06 AM dude pick me and help out a fellow aussie. dont even need to pay me, im young but i know a shitload bout boxing and im a very good writer
aussieboxer2320 05-12-2008, 04:10 AM i can do alot of lighter divisions, fly-lw and i know all the welters
Don PWNleone 05-12-2008, 04:22 AM My speciality is the Heavyweight division, I would love to write about that.
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 04:24 AM i can do alot of lighter divisions, fly-lw and i know all the welters
That puts you in the box seat for the lighter divisions. As people haven't specified yet. ur the first.
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 04:25 AM My speciality is the Heavyweight division, I would love to write about that.
Noted.......
Ch@mpBox@PR 05-12-2008, 04:31 AM I can write from a every fighter from Puerto Rico. Past or present, Champ or prospect. You name it. I can also go for stats, past fight, and all kind of boxing stuff. And I have pay pal.
frankpaganini 05-12-2008, 04:33 AM I'm VERY interested in this...
This would be a dream job for me.
I love the sport of boxing and consider myself very informed of the sport (as a whole).
I'm reliable, honest, and intelligent enough to perform such tasks.
Exactly what type of website are you looking at?
something similar to boxingscene or completely different?
either way i'd really like a chance at this and think i can do a great job. I'm good at analysis of fights, overall analysis of boxers, the general workings of the sport business/casual fan/hardcore fan wise.
Will you consider me and let me know what the next step is?
frankpaganini 05-12-2008, 04:33 AM i have paypal as well.
jberg 05-12-2008, 05:45 AM i have paypal.
i'm a student from london, taking english literature for a-level next year. i am taking my GCSEs soon and have been predicted A* in English Language and English Literature.
I tutor students in English as well.
If you would like to see work I have written, feel free to PM me.
My fee as a writer would be minimal.
Oh, also I can cover middleweight area (ie. super/light middle, even cruiser if need be). I also live in the UK so perhaps I could cover UK fights for you.

Everyone is going to be considered. (What im going to do is a revenue share amongst 10 people. If the site makes $10 000 a month. You will get $1000 of that.
(What im going to need is a bit of promotion work from everyone on top of the articles, you will be paid a set rate. But if you want the big bucks, that type of thing will be needed- E.G Getting friends to subsribe to blog)
I will keep you all updated. Every response has been noted.
_Ricky_ 05-12-2008, 05:53 AM I can't do SMW, I will hug Calzaghe too much :rofl:
jberg 05-12-2008, 05:54 AM i may be able to promote you through my band's myspace.
we have had 18000 views in 8 months, and have hardly advertised.
robjr 05-12-2008, 06:06 AM this sounds kool. hit me up wit some more details.

sounds excellent.
I can work on promoting (if accepted of course).
and $1K is plenty for me...
thank you once again.
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 06:16 AM I can't do SMW, I will hug Calzaghe too much :rofl:
LOL just mention Mundine 6000 times per article and you should be fine.
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 06:16 AM this sounds kool. hit me up wit some more details.
Okay champ!
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 06:20 AM Another big thing for everyone take note. Do you think you could do a little PR for the site. Since its going to be revenue sharing, joint income (more you bring in, the more your going to make), will definetely help.
E.G if your buying tickets for $120 buy it through the site, and bang thats $20 for the site in the revenue sharing system.
But what im focusing on is RSS feed subsribers. So far i have 400. If we can get this up to 1000 with popular opinion and all that. I could sell text links for a fair bit.
(Obviously there has been some rapid replies here).
I will likely pay a set rate per 250 word article. $6/than increasing depending how much people like your work (on top of revenue share).
Ult,
(I will nominate jobs that have been given on thursday, making my decision here, but we have a few front runners).

I'd do whatever it takes. I'm looking forward to writing seriously on my favourite subject the Heavyweights. Love this site, but if you're serious on here then hardly anyone pays you attention.
jberg 05-12-2008, 06:53 AM this sounds pretty good, are you planning to sell advertising space on the website?

sounds great...so we get the announcement on thursday of who you're picking?
will you need an article from us to judge to decide or what?
this has the potential to be the best job i could ever have...any of us here ever had.
journeyman2000 05-12-2008, 06:58 AM I sent you a pm.
I might also consider covering the Southern Cali area but my strengths are graphics, videos and some web design. You know where to reach me if you need me in the future.

this has the potential to be the best job i could ever have...any of us here ever had.
Will definetely.
Everyone please send me your article, any one you like!.
( I will upload them to the site) Include your full name down the bottom or username (whatever you want, if you want to use it on your resume than full name).
Make it around 250 Words.
- (The content has to be unique otherwise i am legally responsible by other sites).
(Also notify me about your capacity to bring traffic to the site) as i said it already has 400 registered users!
(For people chosen, once the new site template is installed, i will require you to write a description about yourself, so people can see who is writing these articles).
If you have any great ideas forward them onto me.
Ult,
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 07:02 AM Actually the description page won't be required, it will be similar to ESB, just a name below the article.
jberg 05-12-2008, 08:00 AM ok so a 250 word write-up of a fight?
or any piece of creative writing?
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 08:21 AM ok so a 250 word write-up of a fight?
or any piece of creative writing?
Anything that you can write best about. Just short. Don't put more than 10 minutes into it.
Cheers
majestiC 05-12-2008, 10:23 AM Hiya mate, you still looking for a video editor? im studying New Media Production Technology @ Uni and training to become a professional editor, I would'nt mind something like this to practise my skills on. I can make special effects and edit film very quickly so knocking out a high quality unique video is no problem, i'm also skilled in Web Design, Photoshop and 3D Modelling. Here is a video I did a couple weeks back, just a small hour's worth of work.

lol did u even need to really edit that fight? the whole thing was a highlight reel. lol. cool video though, where did u get all that cool footage of it without the timer and showtime stuff at the bottom??? cropped it out?
So whats happening with the site and stuff??? Id love to write or make videos or w/e i could do
Dick-Sucker 05-12-2008, 08:33 PM Everyone it must be noted. Your going to be paid like $6 per article or something and maybe do 4 articles a month. And then revenue share on top of that which won't be much. Its not going to be $1000 a month to start with. But will take some time!
Maybe in 3 months if we manage to get people buying boxing tickets through us or signing up with gambling affiliates then you may earn a lot more.
Depends on PR also.

LOL When I saw the video, I was like WTF! The entire fight is a highlight reel.
Maj, it would take me 30 minutes to put something like that together.
Dick-Sucker 05-13-2008, 05:13 AM People are asking me if there going to be making $1000 a month. The reality is you will probably make $10 a month.
But if you can drive some good ticket sales, popularity to the site then your going to be making a fair bit more. If it goes decent.!

LOL When I saw the video, I was like WTF! The entire fight is a highlight reel.
Maj, it would take me 30 minutes to put something like that together.
Yea, just took me over a hour, most of the time was finding the right clips together. At the moment im working on a large project that will have plenty of special effects :) and will showcase the best fighters past and present :D that one will take a while :)
..Calderon... 05-13-2008, 07:20 AM I'd be willing to write for your publication/website. Depending upon the pay and what the job fully entails.
mickeyb 05-13-2008, 09:19 AM Take your job and stick it. I quit.
RED ARMY 05-15-2008, 08:20 PM Not to piss on your parade, but isn't this just a blogspot your running?, guys here think they are gonna be on a $1000 a month straight away :lol1:.
