Does anyone know what you need to be promoter because some off these guys must be blessed with magic dust or something, I have never heard so much hype and crap about fighters, and it's all of them not just FW they should be regulated regards the amount of bs they can come out with.

Lots of fighters who sells tickets.

Thick skin

And a legal team to sue anyone that moves who does not kiss your arse !..

Being a total c -unt helps also, allegedly !..

Get a sponser to give you money, in return they get their name all over everything in connection with the boxing event you are putting on.

Of course, before they give you the money, you will need fighters in place, a place to hold the fights, and whatever legal permits you need to stage the fights.

Takes a lot of work to set up an event. Basically you want a sponser, that way you can get back the money you spent to get the event set up. Then you take your ticket money as profit. lol. hey if butterbean can sell tickets, go for it.

Don King was able to get Ali and Foreman to fight for him, by getting these other countries to put up money, in return for having the fight staged in their country. Such as Zaire.

you need to get on a plane to Saudi Arabia and try to get them to stage Marquez vs Pacquiao 2. To give each guy 6 million bucks, they will do it for that big a payday. you can sell the rights to HBO/PPV for a ton. you would be the man. get to it.

You've got to have the gift of the gab aswell. If you can sweet talk people it's half the work done.

You need plenty of wool to pull over people's eyes.

and loads and loads of cotton wool to wrap your fighters in, (or is that just one certain promoter).
