Getting Into Boxing Promoting?

[MeccaOfBoxing]

Is it possible? Alot of boxing promoters over the years have started from scartch and become a success. What are the keys to becoming a success?

With dedication, hard work and persistance, is it possible to become a mainstream rich promoter?

Thanks guys

[Mr. Ryan]

Persistance is the word, because everyone loses money at first. It's very hard to make money promoting fights. But if you can motivate local businesses to sponsor the fights, sell tickets by going out and promoting on the grassroots level with the media and local organizations, you can build a rapport with your community and build your small shows to bigger venues.

Thanks for a great reply man. So it is possible then?

Promoting is a DIRTY game. It's not meant for everybody, plus you have to have a good amount of coin at your expense.

Lot's of backroom deals, severed friendships, and financial setbacks.

Promoters come and go all the time because it's tough. The only ones that survive are the ones with an endless supply of money.

If you really have the desire and ability to accomplish something you can do it if you work hard enough. I speak for myself especially when I say a huge majority of people don't want to work for it.
