If you were a rising boxer who had your choice of any promoter/promotion company out there, who would you choose?
SERIOUSLY? I think that's the last guy I would want promoting me becuase besides being one of the biggest pieces of **** (which most promoters are) he doesn't have any big stable of good fighters to put me against.
That must be one of the toughest decisions a young boxer starting out has to make. does he go with (A) who promises he will get him a title shot in two years or( B) who does not have the same contacts but is known for his honesty,it's a hard one to call so many boxers have been screwed over by promoters since man first put up their fists
I would either go with Top Rank (because there are so many fighters in their stable to be matched against) or Lou DiBella (he seems like one of the only honest and genuine promoters out there, but I could be wrong about him).
As much as I dislike Arum, I would choose Top Rank first and Golden Boy second. Top rank seems to be making the biggest fights right now. After Golden Boy establishes themselves a little better, I would consider switching.
The Bobfather... ain't no other promotional company that knows how to bring a young fighter up through the ranks better than Top Rank.
