    Who are the best and worst promoters?

    Who do you regard as the best promoters?

    Who are the worst?


    I think Golden Boy Promotions, K-2, Main Events and Matchroom are the best. Dibella, Goossen-Tudor, Banner, CES and Shaw are okay too.

    Universum was one of the worst, and Top Rank and Don King Productions are very bad. And Peltz Boxing Promotions doesn't do much for their fighters.

      Matchroom and top rank are good at building up fighters and increasing their profile.

        Top Rank has ruined a lot of fighters like Zewski, Korobov and now Mekhontsev by inactivity and poor money, and not stepping them up at the right time so killing their motivation. The fighters don't get paid what they earned. Even Mayweather never made good money until he broke away from Arum (smartest move he ever made).

        But Matchroom is a top promoter, they are doing a great job with Joshua, Brook and many others.

        Al Haymon isn't a promoter, although he seems to have that role.

        He's a manager who works with various promoters.

          I think Matchroom are the best ATM due to the very big boost they are giving to UK boxing.

            I'd say right now...

            Golden Boy and match room

            To be fair frank Warren has put on some good shows over the years. It's hard to pick a favourite though.

            As long as they put on competitive match ups that people want to see its ok with me.

            EDIT - my reply was the best promoters


            The worst... I'll let other chip in

            And Al haymon isn't a promoter, but I think what he is doing with PBC is fantastic. To be fair to him

                Hard to argue with what Matchroom is doing atm.

                  They are definitely #1 in the UK, and one of the top five in the world.
