If you were a manager of a boxer? The whole point of this thread is analyse the failings of a boxer and how notably the management picked the wrong fights which ultimately atsch (were bad decisions) for the boxer. We also seem to see boxers from Thailand and Africa fighting 10 rounders in the 2nd or 3rd pro fight. This obviously makes or breaks them at a young age and we know that's a hard way to school a boxer. You tend to find that Commonwealth fighters have these type of records and they actually give the domestic British fighters a hard awkward night. We also know of managers who take fights 'because the money was good' and an out of shape, (not properly timed) fighter takes a fight on 3 weeks notice. OK, he might have just won a fight but it takes mental strength and 'strategy' to focus on a new fight and 3 weeks (for eg) isn't enough. OK heres the part where you come in: Pick a fighter that's failed because of poor management. Explain why you think he failed? Outline the poor management decisions (in any aspect), this could be financial decisions, jumping ship with a different promoter (leaving the fighter with a lawsuit) eg, (Ricky Burns). Now correct the mistake, explain what you would or wouldn't do. Give us a timeline - 3 to 5 fights from now - how would you manage the fighter? If the fighter has just lost, how would you plan the comeback. This can be based on fights, but remember you are the manager, so you could include events, dinners, visiting different camps, sparring different fighters? As manager how did you negotiate the purse? What network does your fighter fight on? Is there a plan to get them to PPV? Explain explain explain.. :bbb
As a manager of a pro fighter, my only responsibility would be to make him the most money 'n get him outta the game while he still had all his marbles.
