If all fighters become their own promoters how would that change the game?

[Larry the boss]

Seems more and more fighters are beginning to forgo getting a promoter and even starting their own promotional companies. How do you see this changing the landscape of the boxing world?

99% of those "promotional" companies are vanity plays (or tax dodges) and will never stage a single event.......

your question was how do fighter owned promotional companies change the landscape. The answer is that they dont. Its an extra logo on the fight poster. Thats it.

The question was FIGHTERS WHO ARE FORGOING PROMOTERS!!!! That is what this thread is about, how would boxing be if fighters GOT RID OF PROMOTERS!!!! AND JUST DID IT THEMSELVES!!!! how would that change the landscape of boxing

That is a great question, not really sure because we see certain guys without promoters who take advantage of that Freedom and avoid taking certain fights. That is somewhat the problem with 147 right now.

the fighters who you are likely referring to actually HAVE a promoter. He just happens to call himself an "advisor". But make no mistake, a person who funds events, and controls the event revenue, is a promoter. Doesnt matter if he calls himself a snake charmer, he is still a promoter.

Outside of those fighters, there are only a handful of fighters who have a high enough profile to freelance without an experienced promoter. And because that number is so few, I revert to my original answer that it will have little to no impact on the boxing landscape overall....

Just answer the damn question , how would the landscape of boxing change if boxers would forgo promoters and promote themselves!!! is that broken down enough for you?

The sport as a whole would suffer, the quality would diminish. Noone has the time to be in the gym, and at the same time making deals, talking to venues, and all the other stuff promoters do. All sportsmen have agents, which is essentially what a promoter is. Takes care of all the other ****, whilst you concentrate on being the sportsman

[NEETzsche]

They would all go broke before reaching the point where they're profitable
