How could a boxer become notable enough in a promotion to have a spot on a card in a stadium to fight?

[Oliverlogan263]

For anyone who could answer who comes up to know or watches boxing, For example, during the Riyadh season with Crawford vs Madrimov and

Jared Anderson vs Martin Bakole competed at BMO stadium in Los Angeles.

They're not really all the round popular boxers on the planet on the level like Ali and Tyson but what would you say based on the question above?

[Iron_Man]

Find a good manager beat up a bunch of ham and Eggers club finders get your record up to 15 and 0 and you’ll get recognized and keep moving up then you advance to the higher ranks find a good promoter and manager they will get you on TV and then you’ll get a title shot if you’re undefeated or if you have one loss early in your career you can still get there look at Marvin Hagler

[Oliverlogan263]

Is that a way to have a spot in a stadium for a boxing event?

[Iron_Man]

Well, if you’re popular and a heavyweight, you can pack it in especially if you’re undefeated if you’re not a heavyweight, you gotta be a good fighter real good plus you have to have a good division like Marvin Hagler, Tommy hitman Herns, Sugar Ray, Leonard, Roberta Duran

[Oliverlogan263]

That was a different era of fighters. Tell me this if you don’t mind me asking questions: How could they pack it up in BMO Stadium n Los Angeles this past weekend with Terrence coward vs the other guy named. Big Baby Jared Anderson vs Martin Baloke even not the all well known. How is it possible, they even said the guy called big baby Jared Anderson was undefeated and he’s a heavyweight. The other ones are low weight. Also what is Riyadh season?

Say if someone is short around 5’5, has a killer instinct, good power, great look for a fighter, have a no nonsense persona, and a good fighter to bring in crowds … what promotion to go to make it to have a chance to fight in front of thousands of people in a stadium?

[Iron_Man]

Yes, you have a great opportunity because look at the fighter Manny Pacquiao he fought Floyd Mayweather. They sold it out and pay-per-view was skyrocket high.

[Oliverlogan263]

I think it’s probably from where manny was from. He’s Mexico’s hero I think and Floyd was flamboyant and ran his mouth people wanted to see to get his mouth kicked in so that’s probably it generated revenue but outside of that, where to go to have that chance and fight in a stadium?

[Iron_Man]

Manny Pacquiao is from the Philippines

[Oliverlogan263]

Oh he is? Oh my mistake but tell me based on the questions I have

[Iron_Man]

there’s always a chance for you. You have to win win win and be very colorful and talkative when you’re doing interviews after your fights

[Oliverlogan263]

That’s true too sinning definitely build up credibility but competition is one thing and being talkative. Nowadays you’d have a big social media following on instagram and all but I wouldn’t be good at that to post and all that stuff.

I have some more questions if you don’t mind answering:

1. How do you exactly sell tickets to make people to become must see without having to seem as forced and really want to come to the fight to see?

2. Would the style to be a menacing, no nonsense badass persona who come to kick ass and destroy opponents sell good or it depends on your skill set?

[Iron_Man]

Can you please ask me these questions later? I am so busy right now. I’m running errands and I have to go to the store the same thing on Monday then Tuesday is my birthday. Send me these questions on Wednesday. Thanks

[Oliverlogan263]

Okay personally or here?

[Iron_Man]

Either way no problem

[Oliverlogan263]

1. How do you exactly sell tickets to make people to become must see without having to seem as forced and really want to come to the fight to see?

2. Would the style to be a menacing, no nonsense badass persona who come to kick ass and destroy opponents sell good or it depends on your skill set?

[Oliverlogan263]

Sorry I forgot to send

[Iron_Man]

The best way is to be is like Sugar Ray Leonard really very popper basically like they would say just win baby just win. Talk a good game be friendly to the crowd. Also, you could be a dominant bad ass a destroyer that will also sell tickets but that’s like a cold personality and you have to be really really tough like sunny Liston and Marvin Hagler. Like Marvin Hagler would say Destruct & Destroy the monsters back, look at Marvin Hagler he didn’t have a lot to say, but he was very popular because he was old school and trained hard and just won all his fights pretty much. But I don’t know your personality, but the best thing for you to do is be a crowd pleaser be the peoples champion have a good outgoing personality support your fans be friendly to the people acknowledge the fans, but you have to win your fights pretty much and then you’ll be a big draw I was thinking about you 30 minutes ago ago wondering when you were gonna leave me a message

[Oliverlogan263]

Hey man sorry for my late response on this. It had slipped my mind to see your response back to me. Thank you for your comment on this, I think for sonny he was the intimidator among all intimidators who didn’t say much and went to do his business and kick ass. Marvin Hagler was tough also, my personality I would say is like a silent badass who is tough and take on anybody who I want to demolish and dominate my opponents, come in and kick ass, and show off a fearless persona even though I do have some fear getting into a fight as we all do since it’s engrained in us as being human, it’s normal but use it for our advantage and don’t show it. I want to resemble like a young Mike Tyson or Brock Lesnar persona that way who’d take on the best who dare to step foot in the ring with me and knowing when they leave out, they’ll know I gave them a good damn fight.

I’ve been giving the notion that boxing is below in popularity in America these days you know and I think trying to be a big draw would be a stretch you know. Plus, you know how everyone tune into on social media like instagram and all to try to notice you if you’re interesting with drama and shit like that. What’s your take on that?

[Iron_Man]

Well, I don’t see how UFC such a big deal. They don’t get paid that much compared to the big-time boxers and there’s nobody out there and plus I don’t like the rules of the sport. It’s kind of cheap. Yes boxing is down. It’s not like it used to be, but it just takes one person to get it back going again. Are you that person?

[Iron_Man]

if you change your mind about boxing, what else are you going to do?

[Oliverlogan263]

If given the chance, maybe but I’m no Mike Tyson of course. But there’s many factors like social media to get most attention and I’m not all that into social media to post and all like most people are. And me neither, UFC I don’t see how it much bigger than boxing maybe boxing is becoming a niche sport and the best fighters not coming into boxing while they are entering other sports where it is less permanent damage done to them

[Oliverlogan263]

Anywhere to make the most money if I work hard and put dedication into it, I think of football but I’m short around 5’5 even though I know I am strong guy and stocked guy myself with strength, agility I’ll need to work on, and take on the big boys but probably not since there’ll be bigger than me. You could make good money doing football

[Iron_Man]

I had to break it to social media is not sports. There’s no accomplishment by being on social media

[Iron_Man]

at 5 foot five you’re gonna have to be a field goal kicker if you can kick

[Oliverlogan263]

It is to get people notice you since that’s mostly people will see about you these days or know about you.

[Oliverlogan263]

I could but I don’t know for competing in nfl if it I even possible

[Iron_Man]

that’s for the Kardashians. They got lucky what’s more important being like the Kardashians or being like Mike Tyson and winning

[Oliverlogan263]

Ooh I see, more like Tyson and winning

[Iron_Man]

Yes 👍

[jshm2]

He doesn't.

Usually it will be about progression. He or She will have won enough fights to contend for a belt, or challenge for a belt.

These are the big subscription "pay days" you see on TV. But there are hundreds of smaller bouts going on each week. Where unknown, and rising, boxers fight to get into that big box office ring which happens once or twice a year.

You don't think those are just picked out at random, do you?

[AI Opinion]

It's all about persistence, skill, and marketability. To earn a spot on a major card, a boxer needs to consistently win fights and make a name for themselves through impressive performances. Training rigorously and working with the right coaches can elevate their skills. Building a strong presence on social media also helps in gaining a following. Promoters look for boxers who can draw crowds, so a marketable personality combined with talent is key. Remember, every boxing legend started somewhere—it's about making every fight count and catching the right eyes.

Julio Cesar Chavez did it...

over 100,000 people... same as Michael Jackson, the Pope, Pelé and Maradona... lol
