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

    Hope this answers it

    It would breed far more managers/agents representing their boxer which would be clients to make fights

    Eventually 2-3 agents would have several boxers they work for and become the boxing super managers/agents

    You would see boxers also sign deals to be screened with certain broadcasters and the broadcasters would set the card up by arranging fights again by contacting other agents/managers

    The more I think about it, it’s impossible, the promoter plays a vital vital role in keeping the balance and arranging everything, there will always be one who is the circus owner

          They're really aren't any. Even Haymon fighters aren't really independent even if they technically don't have a "promoter". They still sign a contract and give Al his 10%. I can see why some fighters would want to cut out the middleman but being a promoter is a lot of work especially when you are also fighting full time. De La Hoya learned this which is why he hired Richard Schaefer to do all the day to day stuff at Golden Boy.

              All the self promoted champions would fight journeymen and not care about competitive fights or unifications
              Look what TMT, K2, Cotto promotions did to the game
              BS fights BS scorecards new weightclasses

                are you ******ed or something?

                99% of fighters CANNOT ADVANCE THEIR CAREER WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE AND BACKING OF A PROMOTER.

                Case in point. If not for Top Rank doing the first 15 or 20 fights for the Charlos, they would not be where they are today.


                Is that simple enough for you?

                  If you look at the current landscape of boxing Al Haymon advised fighters make up
                  the majority of fighters crossing barriers to make fights happen!

                  We need more of this from other boxing outfits! Their "promoters" are preventing this!
