Understanding The Primary Role Of Boxing Promoters

By Adela Beasley


If you are a fan of boxing, then you probably know the tasks that have to be performed by many boxing promoters. They are considered very important so that matches and tournaments can be held for the benefit of the fans of top boxers around the world. You have to know that these promoters are not managers.

There is a big difference among two of them. It is the manager that makes sure that the best interests of the boxer will be looked at carefully. However, a promoter is to look out for his own interests. There are cases wherein the interests of the boxer and the promote can be the same. Oftentimes, their interests are different from each other.

For those who are not aware, the money that is used to purchase all the things needed for an organized match comes from the pocket of the person that promotes it. All the payments are charged to that person so that a match can take place. Besides that, legal documents should be filed. Moreover, they can also invite other people to invest on the event.

Releasing large amount of cash is something that a promoter usually do. There are some that wonder whether they have the chance to get back the money that has been released. Experts say that they do get it and usually they are larger than what they have spent especially in cases wherein the boxers are popular.

Meanwhile, the money that will be given to the boxers will be decided after a negotiation between a manager and a promoter. You must know that if the amount that the boxer will get is bigger, then the amount that the promoter gets is lower. A promoter will usually make sure that he gets the most out of the money, which leaves the boxer with lesser money.

There were a lot of records claiming that greedy promotion officials try to manipulate boxer in the early stage of their careers so that they will get lesser cash. However, not all people are similar. Some of them may also be thoughtful and fair enough to give boxers an equal amount. Managers are always behind the back of their boxers in the selection of fights.

The promotions of a match is the one that makes boxers and promoters share similar interests. This is a skill that every promoter needs to have. They have to be good on promoting and advertising the event so that many people will watch it. They do not just target the interest of boxing fans. They also make sure that many investors will put in a lot of money on the event itself.

If the event is well publicized, then more profit will await their way. The boxer does not have any choice, but to sign a deal with a promoter that is skilled. He will not just be successful in the middle of the ring, but also succeed financially.

It is easy to find these boxing promoters all over the globe. Most of them are wealthy ones since their profits are high. However, there are also ones that earn less since they only handle small time competitions.
