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

Stiverne, might be a champ but he's a "B" side champ. When he fought Arreola, who he had already stopped he really wasn't the "A", side it was Arreola.
You are correct Stiverne, while a good fighter has no marketability, which translates into no money and no interest by the major's. Stiverne has to find an "A" side to fight to make any real money. Look at Rigondeaux, great fighter but he has no marketability, he also needs an "A" side otherwise he don't fight.
To answer your last question, promoters cant really help a guy who has no marketability.
Promoters look at A&M, Ability, & Marketability, ability you can teach marketability you either have it or you don't, like power.

 

Koncz is Pac's advisor so there is no conflict of interest. Some fighters, trainers and managers incorporate themselves, so they can write off almost anything pertaining to their business, which is themselves. Better yet get a good accountant who will make sure you get all or most business(boxing) related expenses. I have never had a fighter who Inc. himself, about the only person I knew who did was a trainer. I am not sure if it is better or not, I believe it's a way to protect your assets from legal issues. I could be wrong. My guys have a lawyer and an accountant to handle that.

 

Fights per year really depends on where a guy is in his career and if he is a guy who puts fans in the seats and who your promoter is.

For 4 and 6 rd fights between 6-7 fights per year is good could be 1 or 2 more.
8rds 4-5 is good
10rds 4-5 is good
All this depends on the deal you make and if your promoter likes to keep guys active and can afford to promote.

 

I always go for purses that are not too high or too low. The fighter then has the incentive to do what he has to increase his pay. It's like any job you may have if you want a raise in pay then you have to perform. I can't fight for a fighter if he is just winning and not looking good.

 

There is a clause in every contract that deals with that, the usual remedy is that it allows for an extension of the contract. Let's say you injured your foot running and you are out 6months, then 6months extension will be added to your contract.
It doesn't affect purses promoter can terminate contract or get an extension if a fighter is sick, injured or in jail.

 

Haymon, has leverage with HBO/SHO, cos of the musical acts he controls and now with the boxers he controls that why he gets his way on the pay. Haymon is signing everybody there will
An advisor advises the fighter on career moves, who he should fight, what he should be making. A manager is a hands on guy he handles the day to day stuff, making sure the fighter is training, has sparring, make sure he is current in any medicals and licensing he might need. things like that. To put it simply a manager manages the ship the advisor plots the course of a fighters career.
An advisor to me brings contacts and expertise a manager might not have.
In my case I would bring in somebody like Haymon to grease the wheels.
Really in Haymon's case there is no difference between manager and advisor, only difference is that a manager can get 33 1/3 % and Haymon asks for less 10-15%.

 

Guys here is an article on Al Haymon, google:

The first step should be to narrow the list down manager, promoter, trainer. Manager/advisor would probably fit best for you, promoting takes money, trainer fergitboutit.
Get acquainted with your local area fighters and the boxing scene, talk to fighters, trainers, managers and local promoters see for yourself which is best for you and your talents.
Learn the biz as a biz which it is.
