Money Fights

It's not just the elite fighters that make big money.  

Attention can be had in many forms, and it is the entrepreneur's job to capitalize on that.

Matchmaking is an art.

It's hard to get it right, and easy to get it wrong.

We focus on how to be successful at it, from a promoter's perspective. Usually that requires delegating those duties.

But more importantly, what should be your focus during negotiations?

How do you put together a fight card?

What are the variables to consider when doing so?

We touch on what this looks like from a large PPV level, as well as for club shows. Primarily, how many fights should you plan for?

Especially when you are first starting out as a new fight promoter, we recommend not to try and pack your card.

Give us a listen and feel free to ask questions in the comments below and we'll try to answer them for you!

Boxing and MMA promoters are often accused of playing favorites...

The truth?

They do! And that is ok.

The sports itself doesn't grow to where it is without letting attention and excitement dictate the terms. If you can draw more attention to the show, or the sport, you should be given extra benefits.

Talent will win out eventually in each weight class, but the reason some get preferential treatment isn't hard to figure out. It's all about the dollars.

This is a business first and foremost, so think more with your head than your heart when you put on a card.

What should be the primary objective of a boxing/mma manager? 

Obviously the well-being and earning power of their fighters first and foremost.  

But what about your goals for early in a fighters career? What's realistic?  

We've seen many promising young fighters get derailed due to inactivity, over-matchmaking, or just not staying in shape for the full-time.  Let's discuss what separates a world champion from a journeyman, beyond just talent.

Dana White, and many PPV promoters, are starting a war with illegal streaming. He has issued a shot across the bow, and it's time to take this seriously.
