Fact 1.01: Being a boxing promoter is easy peasy. Potential opponents always want to travel to your country, take fights and always fit in the budget. If they are in the top 15, they are automatically available, free of injury, suspension and promotional problems. If you promote a world champion, it's really easy to land them a big fight. If you don't, your boxer is just ducking people and you are a useless money grabber. It's easy.... honest.
