Trainer: Naazim Richardson, a true teacher and I don't want to take unnecessary damage plus the quality of sparring in States is unmatched to any country and I don't have to spar in every single country to say that.
Manager: Sampson Lewkowicz
Promoter: GYM or Interbox (Canada).
Network: Doesn't matter really as long as it's either HBO or Showtime.

Trainer: Joel Diaz, Joe Goosen, Brother Naazim or Pedro Diaz. Joel Diaz would be my number one pick.
Manager: I would try to manage myself.
Promoter: I would try to promote myself and make one fight deals.
Network: Where I get the chance to fight good opposition.

Assuming I'm reasonably competent.
Manager would be Al Haymon: I'd want the easiest pay cheques available. **** slogging out with a hard hitting animal when I could make just as much fighting a feather fisted old dog.
Trainer would be Buddy McGirt: I know he wouldn't watch me take a beating. If the going go tough, I'd want someone who would throw in the towel straight away.
Network would be Showtime: It seems as though they're less likely to throw their fighters under the bus.

I'm surprised you used having a huge net worth and an attractive wife as indicators of boxing success.

As for McGirt:
Rounds 1-8: Stay low and throw the double jab baby and throw a right.
Round 9-10: Gimme something baby or else I'mma stop it baby.
Round 11: That's it baby I've seen enough. Throws in the towel and gives you a tight warm hug to take all your worries away.

I noticed that everyone who picked Al Haymon as manager wants easy fights and doesn't want to prove that there the best
I'm cut from a different cloth
Manager: BHop said that when he retires hes gonna be a advisor/manager and hes seen it all in the sport. I would trust him 100%
Trainer: Freddie Roach. Best trainer hands down in the sport. Very rarely does one of his fighters get completely shut out against a opponent like Robert Garcia's fighters. (I don't count the JCC Jr vs Martinez fight cuz that was all JCC Jr's fault) Also the best sparring around.
Promoter: Top Rank knows how to build the biggest stars. GBP still hasn't done it once yet. And when someone asked Tim Bradley why he signed with Top Rank when he was a free agent, he said "Top Rank pays the best."
Network: HBO and its not even close. SHO isn't credible when it comes to boxing. All Access is a sham. They have a MMA guy and a high pitched -feather fisted egomaniac doing their commentary. They refuse to release PPV numbers. They don't let fans text or tweet who they think won the fight. Its stone age compared to HBO
