Let's have a bit of fun here, imagine you're a promoter and you have all the money in the world, which 6 fighters would you sign? ? ? No Floyd and Manny, but other than that, you can pick anyone, champions, stars, contenders, up and comers, it's up to you.
I'd sign:
Froch, easily the first name on my list
Frampton, easily one of the top 5 or 6 superbantams on the planet and a guy who could be a real star
GGG, when Martinez is gone, this guy could be the face of the division
Kovalev, massively impressed with him over Campillo and of course Cleverly, with me as promoter, he'd have no shortage of big, BIG fights
Shinsuke Yamanaka, just one of the bet fighters on the planet and in recent times he has shown scary power, I'd love to promote him as a cross over star
M Garcia, probably the best at 130 right now and with decent names in and around the division, I'd make big bucks in his fighting them and most likely winning. Very talented fighters with good skills, young too!
Guillermo Rigondeaux
Zou Shiming
George Groves
Amir Khan
Callum Smith
Khalid Yafai
Mixture of talent, money making and entertainment
Kal is a great choice, I was really thinking of choosing him. A very good talent in the lower divisions, is he back from injury yet?
1. Andre Ward
2. Deontay Wilder
3. Guillermo Rigodeaux
4. Mikey Garcia
5. Adrian Broner
6. Miguel Cotto
On the outside: Keith Thurman, Abner Mares, Saul Alvares, GGG.
Miguel's a world class fighter still but I wouldn't sign him up, he is reaching the end of his career and any big fights will surely dent his legacy but damn can the boy sell tickets.
6?
Rigo
Lomachenko
Matthysse
Golovkin
Ward
Kovalev
Would perhaps have chosen Wlad but too old... sorry Wlad
Can I take all 3 Kamedas as 1 pick?LOL
Close finishers: too many to mention, but keeping a big eye on Korobov, and waiting to see how Pirog does on his return. Also waiting to see what happens with Boytsov at HW now he's with Sauerland.
Had to reply to this post, glad there's another Kameda(s) fan here. What a family lol
I'm also looking forward to see if Boystov can move up in opposition successfully and how well Pirog can do. Damn Pirog is a talented fighter but he as been as busy as a snail, the guy gets injured, fight after fight postponed. There was a time when he was quick and had sharp reflexes with very good power, how he stacks up to the rest of the division now is going to be interesting.
Leo Santa Cruz
Mares
Marquez
Kovalev
GGG
Matthysse
Danny Garcia
Thurman
Canelo
Froch
Chavez Jr
Shiming
Amir Khan
Maidana
I went more than six because muh dik. As you can see, my list is composed of all different styles but boring runners/sell 2k tickets in Oakland were not included.
1. Andre Ward
2. Deontay Wilder
3. Guillermo Rigodeaux
4. Mikey Garcia
5. Adrian Broner
6. Miguel Cotto
On the outside: Keith Thurman, Abner Mares, Saul Alvares, GGG.
-Canelo (Dude has big following and has all the skills/look to be big PPV)
-Broner (has the personality and showmanship to be PPV as well)
-GGG (has a unique story about him like an underground king from Borat town :)
-Ward (would def promote him differntly than he has been. Promote him as America's next great. hes too hidden right now for his level. especially after that mini tourny he won, he should be on top)
-Adonis Stevenson (another great showman, and has the energy level to be PPV
-Matthyse (big hype around him, and a B.S. line by Richard S. "We have the new Manny Pacquiao from Argentina and he goes by the name of Luccas)
I'd name my company "Team Knockout"
Amir Khan
Enzo Maccarinelli
Audrey Harrison
JuanMa Lopez
Seth Mitchell
Genius! What do people like more than Knockouts!
i'd sign canelo , billy joe saunders , golovkin , mikey garcia and matty. i'd call my promotions world star and every time one my guy's knock's the fu.ck outta someone , i'd run to the camera and shout and scream...................WORLDSTAR BABBY
Promoter's goal is to make money:
Matthysse (Heir to Pacquiao. Teach him English.)
GGG (Best pure boxer out there. International acclaim.)
Canelo (Get that lucrative Mexican gate.)
Froch (Market him as my white hope.)
Garcia if he beats Matthysse...otherwise money in the bank WKlitschko.
Broner. (Feed the hype...with only little guys!)
6?
Rigo
Lomachenko
Matthysse
Golovkin
Ward
Kovalev
