What bothers me the most about the "business side" of boxing, is the fact that 7/10 people in the business have never been in the ring and doesn't know the true feeling to train, get punched and work hard.. but they will be the first to say a fighter is scared or we don't chances. The best one is when I hear matchmakers and booking agents say "the kid is 14-3 where is he going??".
My father always said to me .. "Any jerkoff with $25 can become a manager, and a clueless rich guy can pay for a bond and become a promoter"
There's always exceptions. Angelo Dundee (trainer), Russell Peltz and many more.
I believe if you apply to become a manager, matchmaker or promoter, you should have ATLEAST amateur experience as a boxer. I really believe you should have pro experience as well but amateur is a must. These people handle other people's life.
I looked into what the criteria's are to become a Driving School Business owner and driving instructor, a business that teaches you the right way to drive so you avoid getting into accidents. You have to meet requirements. ALOT OF THEM.
I think the same should be done for the business of boxing. What do you think?
