Whilst talking at a gym tonight in nottingham i realised how few boxers are actually signed to a promotor .

I already knew beforehand but maybe not to such an extent .

Obviously theyve in the main got managers to look after their interests , but what do people think are the main reasons for promotors not signing many fighters , can they not provide enough fights ? is money tight in todays economic climate ??? or is it something completely different ?

and of those insigned fighters , who are the top fighters / prospects ?

I realise some of this might actually require inside knowledge but all views are appreciated .

I think someone will pick you up soon enough if your doing ok on tickets , your doing the right thing being visible on forums and twitter

iv got a gym full... thing is they sign with a named promotor and if they get beat then all the interest goes and start back at the bottom :(

I'd say its currently Adnan Amar or Ashley Theopane (who i don't believe has a promoter).

Theophane is with hatton!

Heard Through Good Source. A Lad Called Jimmy Kelly. Think Enisley Bingham Trains Him.

I thought adnan was with Mick Hennesey ???

No spoke to Adnan not long ago. Unattached

I'd also throw in Leigh Wood, Tony Doherty and Dale Evans names in here.

Wayne Adeniyi isn't signed up to a major promoter. He had a very solid amateur career and looked brilliant on his pro debut. His style is a great watch too, a lot like Roy Jones Jr style-wise. If he does go under the radar then I can see him really shocking a lot of people when he gets his chance.

Trust me jimmy Kelly is very special in fact id say he could win a British after 3 or 4 warm up fights!!! So talented and dedicated and one of the meanest punchers I've ever seen. Plus to top that all off he is one of the nicest kids I've ever met. Then again I'm not signed and I'm the best lol!!!

martin ward hasn t got s promoter he going the top

From Jimmy Egans in Manchester if its the one i am thinking of. He stopped a friend of mine in the schoolboys a couple of years ago and my friend is a very good boxer.

It shows that Carl has done well, it's damn difficult for promoters without TV, your bro deserves credit too.
John Ashton always did well for Carl too.

Theophane is with the Hattons.
They lost the purse bid for last weekend's fight to Maloney.
