By Ronald Butler


Boxing is certainly a sport, but it is also entertainment. You have to plan an event like this carefully, because you want fans to have a great and fun night at the fights. You will leave them wanting more if you follow some simple steps. To get fans excited, there are some tried and true strategies for boxing promotion Wisconsin fans will notice and that will have them crowding into the arena.

Choosing the right venue is important. You have to be able to judge the size of the crowd in advance. If you book a venue that's too big, you might end up with a half empty arena. When you underestimate the fan interest and book a venue too small, you'll end up turning away paying customers. You have to find a spot that is easy to get to and has plenty of parking.

Successful promoters have talented matchmakers. These are people who know how to match opponents, handle paperwork, and make last minute decisions in the case of an unforeseen event. They must understand contracts and make sure the athletic commission has signed off on the bout. They may even chauffeur boxers to make sure they get to the arena on time.

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.

Boxers have dedicated fans who love to see them win. The best matches are solid sporting events filled with entertainment. Aggressive promotion equals a packed house and a fat profit.
