I thought that was the job of the promoter 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.

They often don't do a very good job of it though.

Yes you can sign a boxer to a PR company There are a lot of fighters with there own PR It can actually help the promoter

what it is really I have signed a young pro boxer to a 4 year contract that gives me exclusive rights to his name pictures merchandise media book rights virtually everything except arrange his fights lol.He only has a promoter who has a 3 year standard bbb of control promoters contract he is not his manager just promoter.My contract and his dont conflict but just worried how the BBB of Control might view this contract
