Proven Strategies For Effective Boxing Promotion Wisconsin Sports Fans Respond To

By Ronald Butler


Boxing is entertainment as well sport. If you are a promoter, you have to plan events carefully. Fans want to have fun at the fights and see a good match. You can have them standing in line every time you stage an event if you follow some easy steps. Getting fans excited is simply a matter of implementing an effective boxing promotion Wisconsin pros have used successfully for generations.

The venue has to be the right size for the match up. If you have some unknown boxers, the crowd may not fill a large space. You'll see big crowds if you have a local favorite boxing. If the venue is too small, you will have to turn fans away. That will cost you money. The venue has to be easy for the fans to get to with plenty of on site parking and convenient to bus routes.

It pays to hire a good matchmaker. Instead of doing all the work yourself, you can leave it up to a professional to find boxers who will put on a good show. This person can handle all the paperwork, like contracts needing signatures and official approval for the upcoming bout by the athletic commission. Matchmakers sometimes chauffeur boxers and deliver them right to the arena back door.

Fans have favorites, and many love to root for underdogs. A good fight will pair up two people with compelling back stories. As the promoter you have to exploit the backgrounds of the fighters in such a way that fans can't wait to see them in the ring. Whether it is a youngster just starting out or an old athlete attempting a comeback, fans will show up and support them.

You can match up great boxers and secure the perfect venue, but none of this will matter unless fans know about the event. To do that, you have to go where fans are. Not only does this include the internet and social media, but you should also tack up fliers on telephone poles in local neighborhoods and add them to bulletin boards in gyms, barber shops, and restaurants to bring in enthusiastic and dedicated fans.

As an added bonus for the fans, you can advertise that a well known musician or comedian will be attending the event. Hint that he might be making a surprise announcement before the fight starts. If you can get a celebrity, who is also a boxing fan, to show up and read the referee's rules prior to the bout, you will see increased attendance.

Putting on a charity boxing match is a great way to bring in new audiences. People who might not ordinarily attend matches will come to support their favorite charity. It will excite the crowd to hear that management is donating a percentage of the box office gross, and the boxers will donate the purse to the charity.

Many sports fans really look forward to fight nights. For them it is good, old fashioned entertainment. A good match, well promoted will ensure maximum attendance and excitement.
