Why do people even watch boxing when....

and starting this thread makes you a genius

 

i graduated as a business major and studied sports promotion, had amateur boxing experience, so i contacted the promoters and sent resume. Contact promotional groups for information, most are very generous in helping out.

 

I wish everyone who talked **** actually stepped inside a ring to spar with boxers. When you attempt to even try this sport you gain a huge appreciation for every boxer in the sport just for stepping in the ring.

 

its no different than a steelers fan calling the browns bums, or eagles fans calling the giants bums, or yankees fans saying the red sox suck. It's the nature of sports.

Now in terms of being shot, where is this coming from, what fighter do u think isnt shot that everyone is saying is shot? Holyfield?? Morales?? Roy Jones??

I'm sorry, but they're both shells of their former selves, they aren't in their prime. It's no different than sports writers doubting a quarterback like Donovan McNabb after leaving several seasons with injuries...doubting Michael Jordan after his first retirement. Fact is, when you get old and injure a lot you're never the same as you were in your prime but that doesnt take away from the greatness you achieved and when an athlete retires they are always remembered for the great things they do.

 

Should I start small(like a growing company),what school did you go to,I'm really interested in the business of boxing

 

VERY WELL STATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every fan of every sport criticizes and many have never participated in such:good

The guy starting this?? Should go play with himself and have a wonderful evening:yep

 

i know where ur coming from, it bothers me too when people like Carlito go off on certain fighters and argues Margarito is the second coming of Jesus...but fact is we're all fans whether we fight or not and we're the ones that pay to see it. I just thought it was messed up to come at everyone on the message boards like they're not legitimate fans because they have an opinion. We all do, and we should all be able to share them without calling people out. And i never would have been such a dickhead if it weren't coming out like "have you ever been in the ring or been a promoter" etc. knowing i've been involved with both for many years and i too as a boxing fan have opinions.

 

:amen

 

you can pretty much go to any school and major in marketing because essentially promoting is marketing an event. Starting small you'll get more involvement, but either way you see free fights live

The business is tricky in terms of a career because as they say, it takes money to make money, but you need to start somewhere to get recognition in matchmaking, promoting, etc. It's all how bad you want it. PM me if you got more questions.

 

i can't i need 50 post
