But a promoter IS basically a boxing event planner if we are being honest. Its a needed job in the business. The problem is the power they have not that the job exists.
To go back to my director analogy the way boxing works it'd be like if Tarantino upon signing Sam Jackson to a specific movie would be able to secure Jackson's acting services for his next 5 films upon the acquisition instead of just for that one film. Boxers should be similar to actors where they are able to freelance as they see fit & sh^t they can, but due to other economic factors I'm not smart enough to verbalize or coherently outline probably (lol) promoters have been able to take advantage of the current system boxing works under that's a problem that's shortchanging the sport & its fans.
