i stole this from another forum,its a good idea though and fun
You have a new prospect, he is a pretty competent young heavyweight , he weighs a pretty solid 220lbs. and is unbeaten in 5 fights... he is willing to learn and is worth investing in..
You have to choose ...
A trainer..... and give reasons for doing so..
A Promoter who you feel is good for your fighter.... also give reasons..
A TV network .. That you feel may give him the best exposure opportunities.. give reasons..
A Gym where he could relocate to .. that may fit what he needs..
And select decent sparring partners that will be beneficial to his progress..
You then have a chance to select a few opponents that may be good for your fighters development without harming his confidence .. (overmatching him)
And for all of this you have around £200 000..
so you can't just go over the top... you don't need to be too intricate.. Its just a chanceto air your views on who you trust and view as the more capable people in boxing , to your own knowledge..

i rushed mine abit when i started getting bored.
i would have him trained by floyd mayweather sr.,emanuel steward was very good with lennox lewis and tall fighters,but as of recent i think he makes fighters slightly robotic and i wouldnt want that,floyd mayweather sr is very good at teaching fighters a good defence which is quite rare in todays heavyweights and thats a skill that could take him a long way,he teaches very good hand eye coordination which is very important for accuracy and also all his fighters are in tremendous shape.
for my promoter i would choose golden boy,he really tests his fighters and manages to do so without breaking there confidence and throwing them in the deep end,i think he does a great job with his fighters and treats all equally.
for my tv network i would chose showtime,just to be a little different,also i think it would be good for boxing,HBO is really full up with excellent fighters and champions and my fighter would be a little fish in a big pond,showtime i think would give him the exposure he needs and at the same time keep him stable and not feel too much expected of him.
kronk gym,definately,many many great fighters have trained there and many great trainers train there,enough said.
i would chose sparring partners such as bernard hopkins (small clever fighter,good for practicing speed and smart boxing) james tony (excellent for practicing how to break defence) oneil bell (slightly smaller but hard hitting) sam peter ( hard puncher) and various other fighters maybe not as well known,but getting used to other styles and techniques would always help.
