BoxRec

I will kick things off, my choice would be Jim Watt.

Over the last couple of decades he has covered pretty much every British contender, from Bruno to Joshua. He obviously gets to see the fights, doesn't have to be the main guy commentating, or have all the stats to hand. He's allowed to call it as he sees it.
I doubt he has to do much prep work for a fight night, beyond just reading up about the sport he loves. The most flack he'll ever get is if he makes a call that he later regrets, but he can always say he calls it as he sees it.
Nice hotel room, VIP pass into the arena, undoubtedly paid much much more than he ever was as a pro boxer.

What a job!

There's a fella who's had a really nice gig in the last year.

Imagine, if you will, 80,000 people at Wembley stadium......

Horse has the best job.

Without a doubt it has to be Eddie Hearn. He definitely the best stable of fighters in Britain and One of the best in the world, He gets paid millions to make whatever fights he wants to see and gets to watch the likes of Kell Brook and Carl Froch fight for world titles

Who pays Eddie Hearn millions ?

Nick Halling has a great job; shame he's so terrible at it.

Michael Buffer, first class flights, top hotels and twenty bag in his back pocket for saying a few lines!

We have a winner! I forgot all about him!

I definitely wouldn't go with any promoter, bet the stress levels are pretty high.

I expect some of the lads who work for match room have a nice old job though. Frank Smith?

Definitely agree with the poster who said Buffer. What a job, for the amount of time he actually works he gets to travel the world and be ringside for the biggest and best fights. Little to no stress I should imagine and well paid.

I dunno he does learn to say things like good evening ladies and gentleman in French/German/Spanish - seems pretty tough to me....!
