    I'd sign with Al Haymon and settle for dates on the shows of whatever promoters owe him favors at the time.

          because both tend to be crowded with talent and with fewer and fewer fight dates it would be hard getting fights

          I know quite a few fighters from both and they all have the same issue which is jockeying for the few slots on cards they both have.

          honestly if I were a young prospect I would choose the local route first, establish a nice hometown base, and develop a groundswell of interest much like Fernando Guerrero and Tim Bradley have done.

          sounds odd but a promoter like Thompson Boxing Promotions is somewhere I would look as they have monthly shows, great attendance for their shows, have two world champions now (Tim Bradley and Yonnhy Perez).

              DBE is good at developing young talent in that they still have local off TV shows to have their young fighters occupy. Thats how Paulie got to where he is.

              TR more and more concerns me due to the fact that they seem to have taken the route GBP has in waiting for TV slots to come up for their fighters which limits the amount of fights their fighters have

              GBP hasnt had an off TV card in years so their fighters are sorely limited by that

                but i assume they get paid or a big signin bonus that u might not get with other companies... so.. for the fighters i beleive that will make it up for the long waiting between fights.. dont know... ....

                I think that if you already have a buzz with you. .some background... olimpics amateurs, ****s like that.... if you already have the buzz with you and are signing pro... the best option should be the BIG COMPANY...

                if not.. the small ones.. should be the way to go... im felling your point of view....

                    Not all the 0-0 kids get paid the big signing bonuses. Unless the kid is an Olympian or is already built he usually will receive a modest bonus or nothing at all.

                    Thompson would be a good one as Earner alluded and also Prize Fight. These companies host monthly series that keep fighters busy. Prize Fight promotes on a minimum 20-25 shows every year and has been successful at building the careers of Lamont Peterson, Anthony Peterson, Fernando Guererro, Shawn Porter, Rayonta Whitfield, Ivan Hernandez and many others.
