    Top Rank.

    What about trainers? I'd pick Nacho Beristain.

    It would depend on how good you are.......

    If you are useless or need a guiding hand you have to join Sports Network - you will be guaranteed a shot at the WBO Intercontinental title, and will probably make 15 defences of the WBU title on Joe Calzaghe undercards. Warren has a cracking business brain and will look after you, as long as you toe the line and don't negotiate your own TV deals. Take note Ricky Hatton.

    If you think you are a lot better than you actually are, you must join Hennessy Sports. If you look at most deluded fighters from these shores, notably Junior Witter, Carl Froch and Howard Eastman, they are all under the Hennessy banner. Great if you love trash talk.

    If you want your promoter to work for you, rather than be a cash cow for him, and are willing to undertake immediate unification fights (rather than easy first defences) and travel abroad to get the opponent you want, you must join Dennis Hobson and Fight Academy. Good connections in the US (Gary Shaw, Banner etc) and not too greedy. But **** marketing.

    If you are domestic level and nothing more (and know it), sign for Frank Maloney. You will get decent exposure on Sky Sports and will earn the chances at proper belts. Reasonable in all departments.

    Brian Peters Promotions , biggest promoter in my own country so I could be based there . Yet he still has enough money behind him that if I'm good enough I could get a World title shot(and a good chance of that shot being at home) .

    You know, alot of people say that, but other than Oscar, Shane, Barerra, and Bernard, who is really getting paid the big bucks?? Hatton was ALREADY getting big bucks, so no real improvement there. They wouldn't even pay $50k to Ouma for a slot on the DLH-Mayweather undercard for crying out loud. And Diaz is making ALOT less than his minimum for the Katsidis fight. I think this theory that everyone is making so much money over there is really doubtful.......

    GBP for me they seem to be signing all the good new prospects and big names. In the next 5 years they will run the show.
