    You should go for it. What you need is a gimmick that separates you from the others...like at the end of every interview you start selling whoever on insurance until he walks away leaving you standing there...like Ali G when his interviewees walk off camera...and then you ask...is because I'm black? You'd probably build a big following and end up with your own HBO show...The Larry XXX Show.

      Just try and report on boxing and not the ****** drama that reporters tend to report on.

      remember its a sport not a sop opera.
      Dream job? I have a few friends who are legit names. One lives with his mom. One is so hated he ran away from LA to become an actor (Gabe Montoya... and he's no longer a friend and actually I'd beat his ass too) which nobody does. The others all have second jobs.

      It's a tough hustle and just because you interview someone doesn't mean you can write.

        Go for it Larry.

        That's something I always wanted to do but never pursued it.

          your interviews can't be worse than your dumb posts, can they?

            check out IFL TV on YouTube, kugan has built a rapport with almost all UK fighters by importantly remaining impartial and getting on board with interviewing the promoters. granted you might not get access to the likes of arum and dlh the way IFL get half hour regular interviews with the likes of hearn and warren, but check out their style.

              Just attach yourself to a gym with at least 2 or 3 relevant fighters and start from there. Get a nice intro like DBN has and you're set.
