    I have recently gotten into this field and it sucks! Fighters worry to much

    about the next fighter, and his promoter, and their record. In my amateur

    days, I didn't care whwo I fought, They're the same as me.

    Cab anyone give me better insight on this business?

    Its a ****en nightmare from what ive been told by other matchmakers and a lot more to it than people think.

    About 1 in 50 fights is as easy as just a phone call, which a lot of people think is all that is involved.

    an amatuer record has no bearing on ur future in the sport. Whereas in the pro's it does. So, fighters are looking to protect themselves more becuase a few loses can write u off.

    On the flip side there is way to much bitching and scared "fighters" out there. Its hard to get even matchups early on in a boxers career.
