    If you guys were pro fighters or had a loved one fighting pro whom would you prefer fill the above slots and of what criteria/reasoning.

    mManager-Egis Klimas

    He is a Slav and does great things for Slavic fighters affording train and living accommodations that often extend past the realm of what a manager does. Plus I am not a wasteful person so I know the after fight parties would not have extra food left around with Egis there.

    Trainer-Abel Sanchez

    Top trainer in the game and has great facilities in a really nice place(Big Bear Ca) to train and live. Also if boxing did not work out he could hire me for his buliding contractor company.

    Promoter-Arum's TR

    They have been around the longest and are well run along with treating fighters fairly despite the crazy claims made otherwise by crack pots with agendas. TR is also equal opportunity and do not discriminate based on ethnicity like Golden Boy.

    Manager- Al Haymon

    He's black and does great things for all of his fighters affording train and living accommodations that often extend past the realm of what a manager does. (ie. Still helping Paul Williams financially after being out of the business for years due to an accident) Plus he still gets you paid even if you are not promoted right. His power in business is unmatched.

    Trainer- Nacho Beristain

    The best trainer in combat sports, period. Raises fighters from pampers to champions and is the most decorated trainer there is. Run down the list of how many champions this man has trained.

    Promoter- Don King (in his prime)

    I have a lot of respect of Bob Arum but he does not know how to draw a crowd like Don King can. Hell, King is the only promoter to get a fighter $1 million dollars for one fight back when it was unheard of to get that much, now it's common place. The man may be a crook but he has made so many fighters rich beyond their own imagination. He still holds a little control over the WBC but in Kings prime he was undisputed as a promoter. There has never been a movie about Bob Arum.

    I was watching that Haymon video until I saw that creep Dough Fischer. Sorry, I can't do it.

    If today.....

    Assuming its me....

    Age - 23 years old
    Height - 6ft 4
    Weight - Heavyweight
    Country - UK


    Manager - N/A

    - Isn't much point in having one imo. Can't see why I would want someone to manage my career when your promoter does so much in the modern day anyway.



    Promoter - Eddie Hearn

    - With the rise of British boxing, combined with the rise of the matchroom brand....who else would I want?
    The guy is making serious moves in the sport, so he'd be the smartest option for me.


    Trainer - Dominic Ingle

    - Although the Ingle gym hasn't had a lot of experience with Heavies.....it's the perfect style to compete with the likes of Joshua/Wilder/Parker.
    -They focus on angles, movement and fitness.....which all Heavies obviously lack naturally due to weight and stature, but it's glaringly obvious that Joshua/Wilder/Parker are lacking in these areas.

    That's cool, I don't like Doug Fischer but he gave a fair critique on Haymon in this video. He is classic California weird.
