Boxing internship ?

[QQQQQQQ]

Im turning 18 in July and will be majoring in Business Administration next year in college. My goal is to become a NY promoter and trainer. I dont wanna hear how ****ty of a job being a promoter can be, ive done my research. I truly love boxing and i know its my passion, i dont care how bad the money might be as long as im doing what i love.

Is their any intern jobs for boxing? Not sure if you guys have ever heard of anything. Any info, advice will be greatly appreciated. The goal here is to just get my feet wet in this industry while i work on getting my degree.

Lots of green K will be given to anyone that helps. Thanks in advance

In a sport like this, it's more about who you know rather than what you know.

You're 17. Not making money to "chase your dreams" sounds cool for now. Because as it is you probably make little to no money right now, in other words you don't fully understand the value of a dollar yet. That will change. Somewhere in your mid to late 20's your ideals will also change and ultimately the practical things in life rent,food,your relationship, family, or your plans to start one will supersede your desire to play a bigger part in the hobby that you are passionate about.

The road of a boxing promoter is a looooooong road as it is there are probably only 7 or 8 company's most people can name off the top of their head in the entirety of the whole world.
As someone posted previously. Have a plan b. you might be that 1 in a billion but the math says you are probably not.

No i really dont care about money. As long as im living comfortably and can support my family im cool with whatever im doing. Being a promoter is going to be more of a hobby, and a way of "side money". I know i wont make enough to have it as my only income. Im fine with that.

do you have any idea how these things work?

i can answer that for you. no offense, but you don't. you're 17 (and a half,) after all.


lou dibella and bob arum both went to harvard law school.


if you want to become a promotor you're going to need a ton of money to get you started anyway. put in ten years as a lawyer.
