If you were a boxer, what promoter and trainer would you like to be with?

[HURTFEELINGS]

I see some of you are saying Hearn...please explain (this is no shade) WHAT HAS HE DONE? His accomplishments, big fights, he promoted.

It depends

Are we just talking me, as I am, choosing to go with boxing when I was 16 and riding it up, or do I come with the bells and whistles (top amateur, possible Olympian, interest from TV in hand)?

If it's the former I'd just grind it out through the small shows in California/Mexico, hope I can get to 10-0 or something, and find a way to get to Tom Brown or Al Haymon or even Schaefer or Oscar, to hopefully fight my way into a spot.

If it's the latter, I hire a good contract lawyer and publicist, bring my brother in as the day-to-day guy, and simply run my own career like Devin Haney is looking to do; if/when the buzz really starts to pick up, the TV interest will to, and I'd look to mainline the TV deal.

As far as trainers go Virgil Hunter or Buddy McGirt are the type of trainer that'd make sense; have a body frame for boxing (shorter legs, long arms, stocky build), but having instructions that can be explained would give me a better likelihood to buy into and execute the plan.

Eddie Hearn is the sole content provider to Sky Sports, the top boxing broadcaster in all of the UK, and arguably Europe.

If you're good enough, Hearn gives you access to the eyeballs to turn you into a star in the UK.

Hearn for promoter.. and Andre Rozier as trainer for me. I just think me and Rozier would get along real well. He's thoughtful, intelligent, down to earth and insightful.

[Cracaphat]

A good original question.

Promoter: The Duvas
Trainer : Cus D'Amato

He has been involved in the biggest fights in the U.K post-war. He's set up guys like Froch and Bellew for life, has Joshua. He doesn't just get the top guys paid either, he makes sure the lower level fighters are looked after. Sky sports have the biggest reach, it would be wise to go with Hearn if you are a top fighter, as you are guaranteed to make life-changing money..... He's only applicable to the U.K or Europe just now, my answer would change if I was from the U.S or Mexico.

I never thought that deeply about it, just a hypothetical situation where you try and figure out who would be best for you if you were a boxer based on where you are from mostly.

I agree the answers might change based on age you turn pro, , if you have Olympic pedigree and what level you operate at etc etc

[Willy Wanker]

I would like to be promoted by Hearn also.


I want Buboys fat ass in my corner.

Buboy is the leading candidate for trainer of the year so far.

[GGG Gloveking]

For promoter I want Eddie Hearn. He'll keep me paid and protected, with a belt on my waist. And for trainer, I want Abel Sanchez. He'll say plenty of dumb sh it, and keep me in the news
