I am a boxing manager: if you have questions about the boxing biz, ask!

Really? Please name them.

Any ESB member could have written that, and it makes no sense. First, why would any management company invest even one dollar in a fighter they don't have confidence in?

Re Wilder: GBP is LOSING money on Wilder. I was hoping you might have some insight as to why they have done almost nothing for him, but "protecting him" is clearly not the answer.

Re Boytsov: You DO realize that Universum went bankrupt, yes? And evidently, the guy who now owns Boytsov's contract won't let him fight unless it's in a bout that he controls, which means Boytsov is in limbo. It has nothing to do with the new boss'es confidence, and everything to do with greed.

- but thanks for playing, Jane Merrill has some lovely parting gifts for you on your way out.

 

Most experts would probably know that UFC PPV's gross a hell of a lot more than 4-5 million dollars...

 

If a PPV costs $49.99, how much does the promoter net from the sale?

 

There's been a lot of good info in this thread, but this is the internet where anyone can pretend to be anyone. Unless one is using their real name, suspicion is going to be everywhere.

 

A boxing org sanctions/approves a fight. I know that title fights or a high level fight gets sanctioned but what about begginer level? Do the boxing org sanction those fights too? Are they just informed about the fights of lower ranked/unranked fighter or something else??

 

How does sanctioning fees work? Do they have a fixed fees or Is it based on the total fighter purse, bidding or something else?

 

If Champ of X org is fighting Champ of Y org. How will that sanction fee structure work?

 

Will the promoter bear the burden or the cost will be transfered to the fighter?
