      Why? Because a party planner doesn't have the right contacts to get the best deal for each of every details listed in there and doesn't have the authority to negotiate. That's the reason why promoters needs a license.

      Like for example the big named fighters outside of U.S. is still recquired to have a U.S. promoter in order for them to land a big fight in U,S,

          so are you going to have a promoter? i'm training to be a boxer and i haven't made up my mind yet, but i don't think i'm going to have a promoter if i make it big, or find out how to do everything the promoters do, i'm in college right now, so if there are any classes i can take to educate myself on promoting boxing events, i will.

                    The license and the Hyping are two different things.

                    They need the license so that technically as by the Law they can be held liable for their misdeeds.

                    HYPING is the promoters acts to ensure their fighters are marketable and is always on the headlines. Unforunately there's just so much of it lately.

                      yeah, we are all talking hypothetically if we made it big, no one needs to have security for their second professional fight. this is top level. but yeah, like i said, it couldn't be hard to negotiate and do that whole list. say you workout two hours a day, you then could use the next 6 hours to do all that other stuff. just a thought.
