A way to start a journeyman boxer tournament

I’m organizing a 4 man tournament with opponent type boxers , trying to get them fair fights, a real chance to win. To give them some dignity and bring them back to the sport. I have four boxers with poor records slotted to face each other, but like anything this costs money to make happen.

They are getting a very very minimal purse , hotel, travel, medicals etc.

Any help would be appreciated and yes it will be live streamed. I’m aiming for September 25 here in the USA.

Please support if you can. I even have Charlie Zelenoff conqueror Andrew Hartley on the show.

Could be ok to watch really. Sometimes I think to myself that these promoters have been hit too many times in the head. Making money from making cards really shouldn't be that hard.

No ! Andrew Hartley is the guy who handed Chalie Zelenoff, famous boxing troll, his only loss in his only pro fight...

Homicide Henry is 0-1 Rufus Diefanbaugh....

They do know each other and I would love for them to fight , but Rufua may be too big

I think this is a great idea to keep this guys in the sport and I think the fights will be fight of the night material..

only problem is, no promoter will pay for it, so I am doing it myself !
Hence the gofundme

On second thought watching a 2-28 fighter with 27 ko losses and more in unofficial fights doesn't sound appealing. Poor fellow, all those punches to his head. He should not be encouraged to fight any more. Make a good card man with some good fights that are worth watching. You can do it, who knows, maybe in a few years time you'll be putting on shows on the big networks. Don't waste your time on a concept involving 2-28 fighters.

On another note I recently read an interview with Murad Muhammad a former big time promoter. Interesting stuff really http://www.spam.com/pages/content6844.html

we have a 2-28 vs an 0-3
a pro debut (pro kickboxer) at 50 something yrs old vs a 1-11
All evenly matched and all hungry to win

The "opponent" is the life blood of the boxing eco system, gents.
Even these guys deserve a real chance to win
