Is it possible to be a neutral and put on a card?

I weigh 84.5kg today, but could easily reach 78 - 80 if i worked hard. you'll have to come up in weight a little buddy 147 haha u gotta build some muscles. Take heed of ur idol Arnie

 

we havin a flew off or a boxing match!

ill meet u at 175.....

ok gav thats settled, purse bid please? closes midnight friday.

 

I will try & hit the sauna & steam room to get down to 90kg & cruiserweight.

 

I dont know how much it will cost ya but i can help lower it maybe. If your plannin on puttin a show on in sydney i'll help ya out as best i can for free.....

I to would love to get into boxing promotion and am willin to help out with anyone who's willing to give me a go but unless your doin it in sydney and on a weekend or friday night maybe im not much help coz of work and ****....

BoxingTrashTalk maybe try an amature show first... sanctioning fees for the ABA are like $1000 but for the Boxing League they only charge a few hundred i think.. plus the fighters wouldnt need to be paid so you'd save there.... the ams would be a much cheaper way to start off man give ya a chance to sort out what ya need and dont need through a bit of trial and error coz ya might be able to do a few more since u can save on fighters purses and the cheaper sanctioning fees and stuff.

 

To answer your first question about being neutral...

Yes it is. I had the same idea as you in 2003 - thought why not make a little business out of promoting Boxing. i knew no-one in QLD having just moved there.

i spent the next year hanging out with and speaking to as many Boxing people I could find. Asked questions of everyone. Hung out with promoters. Sourced a venue and then with $50 to my name one of my helpers Derek Milham lined up Michael Katsidis to fight Fred Kinuthia at the Broncos Leagues Club.

Had to find $30 000 in 6 weeks to pay everyone

Brendan Smith did the match making which helped me greatly.

It was a great little show called Rise of A Champion and Mick has lived up to the billing I feel in recent years.

From there i have been involved with 20+ Pro shows and 5 Am shows...

So it is possible.

 

:rofl

 

Damn mate that is awesome.
So did it take you a while to learn it all?

 

BTT, in addition you have to work your ass off. U need to get up and do stuff. Spend every day making phone calls and getting **** organised. There are sooooo many things to organise you're best off getting someone to help you with it and put in almost as much time as you will.

 

I've done 5 shows with a mixture of pros, ams and corporates. Started from scratch and learnt as i've gone on. Never try and go to big to fast, you'l crash and burn.

 

Are you just trying to get down to a lower div to avoid OZ?

 

No need then.:good

 

The first one is when you learn the most cause it is so farking stressful!

If you dont like swimming in the deep end and having 500 things running around your head and people wanting everything off you all at once. then don't organise events - especially Boxing

I still have heaps to learn I feel. My good friend promotes nightclubs here in Brisbane and the Gold Coast so it helps having someone to bounce ideas off and keep you on track.

Also splitting the workload between myself and Angelo helps so much.
