    Who is your promoter of the year for 2017?
    There's alot more pressure for best vs best with recent fights, which is surely going to keep top promoters on top form. But also maybe see some poor mismatching promoters fall behind as they are too stuck in their ways

    Perhaps Hearn or Loeffler.

    Hearn because Joshua has got so so much bigger in 2017 with the gamble vs Klitschko paying off.

    Loeffler because he was involved in so many of the major fights in 2017 (Canelo-GGG, Joshua-Klitschko, the Superflys).

    Hearn seems to be playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

    GOAT promoter Bob Arum again, of course:
    Deal of the Year: Top Rank-ESPN
    Fight of the Year: Loma-Rigo
    Fighters of the Year and top of P4P list: Loma, Crawford
    Upset of the year: PAC-Horn

    Bob Arum has chunks of guys like Eddie Hearn in his stool.

    Bob Arum for bringing boxing back to free TV.

    Mick Hennessey purely because of the shades of Ali comment.

    Bob gets a dolla for every view. So "Deal of the year" might not apply here.

    Richard Schaefer might be the one. While he did not make a lot of noise, he made a lot of moves.
    He had a strong hand in the World Boxing Super Series.
    He broke ground in France, the U.K. and the U.S.
    He is building a very strong world wide foundation.

    Ring Star might make some serious waves in a couple of years.

    David Higgins. The Joshua Knockout reel was brilliant.
