Let's say you just became a professional boxer, how would you feel if...

[Guy Gardner]

too many outside factors to determine.....

age and my personal circle would have a great influence.

If i'm surrounding myself around peers, other pro fighters, if i feel talent wise i'm better than them, then i'm more then likely going to pressure my handlers to move me along quicker...

however, i might be around business minded people who see the importance of building a brand, and that might make more sense to me, if i can get one amount for fighting a tough fight in fighter A, but 3 times as much for fighting easier fighter B, while also looking good, and adding a win to my resume...i'm going to chose fighter B..

but again, that highly depends on who's presenting the information to me, and how much access i have to those things...

First of all, generally speaking boxers aren't thinkers.

Having said that, I think the best way to proceed with a boxing career is to fight bums to get your win/loss record up. A boxer thats 25-0 can command more than a boxer thats 28-3. In fact, a boxer thats 25-0 can command top dollar. So thats why your handlers have you fighting bums, to get that win/loss record up.

Thats not always true. A 28-3 fighter with a better promoter than the 25-0 fighter will get more money because his name might be more recognizable especially considering who those 3 losses may have been against.

I'm trusting my promoter because it sounds like he's doing the smart thing as long as he's mapping it out for me so it makes sense and we have a mutual agreement, a promoter wants the big money fights it doesn't sound like he's holding me back for his own personal gain, it sounds like I'm impatient and my competitive nature would get in the way of doing the smart thing and that's build up to that fight get some pro experience take out a few washed up names holding on for dear life, get my record up and get my name bubbling so when that big fight comes around I'll be more ready and there will be more money on the table and more leverage for my promoter to work with

I wouldn't give a fuck! I know sports folks wanna win and all that yadayada jazz but shiiitttt, I am my Father's child and he'd instruct me to GET THAT FUCKING MONEY BOY! That's just what my pops would say. Fuck a record and shit, those r set 2 B broken. I can be the catalyst 4 generational wealth for my lineage. Long as I'm healthy, that bread is second. All that shit fixed any Fucking way. Me and the kids can't eat belts and medals but belts and medals can help us eat. Isn't it ironic, don't U think?
