I thought that was the job of the promoter :roll: not the endorsements but the marketing of a fighter.

no a promoter only gets him fights and to a degree promotes the fights,trying to figure out if a boxer can have both.Does having a pr consultant stop him having a manager as the two seem to conflict

I can't talk with complete authority without knowing the ins and outs, but as someone involved in running a PR company I'd be genuinely surprised if it was viewed a conflict of interest. Many sports stars have dedicated PRs/publicists who operate under the guidance of the star's management team e.g. http://www.eileenkoch.com/

Yeah but a promoters job is also to promote and thus market the fighter to get bigger fan base and that comes in the form of media coverage ie newspaper interviews,etc.
