    Don't count on it a fight a month without a promoter is very difficult. The reason, a promoter doesn't see an upside for himself unless you sign promotionally with him and even then a fight a month cant be promised even if you were with a major promoter.

    All the guys I work with are signed to a major, Top Rank is my choice. If you are a beginner, maybe 5 to 6 fights. A boxer unless he is an Olympian doesn't make a lot beginning his career until he gets into 10rd fights.
    It depends on the fighter, if he is a ticket seller, or a very good fighter.

    Dempsey you say you work in the Texas-Mexico area. Is there cities in that area that you look more than others. For example some cities bring more talent than others? How is the talent of El Paso, Texas? Do managers and scout look for talent there. I live there

    El Paso, is not the best place, cos they have few pro shows and I can only think of three pro's in EP, David Rodriguez, Antonio Escalante and Abie Han.
    DFW, Houston, San Antonio and the Valley have more action. The way it works talent-wise is by word of mouth. Let's say someone is looking good in sparring, or knocking out guys, word gets around. If you can tell me something about yourself in a PM, how much amateur experience you might have. Your age, weight and height.
    I know people in EP, my guy Alex Saucedo, fought there a few years ago, on the Julio Cesar Chavez jr vs Andy Lee show. I was thinking of fighting him in EP cos he is from Chih., but I was told not to cos there was no fanbase.

    I'm working with Chad Broussard in Louisiana. He is a great guy and promoter.

    Dempsey. Do you know the boxing promoter Robert Lewis. He is of Oxnard and often collaborates with Robert Garcia boxing Academy to Oxnard. What do you think of this promoter and what is its reliability according to you. Thank you.

    Is it easier to get fights for a heavyweight or crusierweight in Texas/Louisiana?

    I don't know him personally I know he helped Robert Garcia with his gym beyond that nada. Is he trying to sign you? I might be able to help you more if you tell me why you are asking.
