what exactly do fwank and eddie do?
i see a lot of ppl give full credit or blame to these two, from things as simple as fight posters and various marketing bits and arranging fighter media appearences, to matchmaking, areana operations, and so on
but it seems unlikely to me that they really are the main men in all these areas.more likely they have specialist employees , like loads of bussinesses
anyone know specifically what they or other top promoterrs actually do? anyone have info about how matchroom and warrens company really operate more generally?

My mate had to sign with him after Munchkin Hughes went belly up and said he was a fuckin helmet! Couldn't stand the cùnt!
He looks like he's on day release from retard academy! He wouldn't look out of place bounding through the park with an icecream in one hand and a fuckin balloon on a string in the other!

Aye small time prick. Thinks he's bigger than he is. They usually have a show on Burns night. Not sure who's fighting tonight.

I remember before Eubank V Close in Belfast in 1994 Don King serving beers in a Robinson's Bar in the city centre encouraging punters to buy tickets for the fight before moving onto to the next pub.mickey1975 wrote: ↑25 Jan 2018, 10:32I don't think anyone expects them out printing posters and grafting tickets round pubs.

The main thing a promoter does, is find the money, and take the financial risk to put on shows.
That includes negotiating deals with TV platforms, either short or long term, hiring venues, making deals with ticket agencies, paying fighters, negotiating promotional contracts with fighters and their managers, and then promoting the event to ensure it either makes money, or increases the profile of the fighter or fighters who they are trying to build into a big ticket seller further down the line.
Whilst promoters get a lot of stick, it's worth remembering that they are ultimately the ones with whom the financial buck stops.
