I am beginning to feel like the Dear Abby of the amateur boxing community, I had something posted on another site(http://www.boxingforum.com/amateur-boxing/) and have gotten a lot of good questions about our sport and the problems locals are having in general. So, I know I am heading in the right direction with a traning program to increase the income and support of boxing. As I mentioned in the last post, I am putting together a program which I have used and learned thru trial and error, for the last 18 years of doing boxing shows and it will be exciting for the clubs that need a big boost in their bottom line of income. I will tell you, I normally I didn't handle the money; but I asked the President of our LBC, in his estimation, how much did we make on the shows? His answer did not surprise me, simply because we had many shows with STANDING ROOM ONLY. What does that boil down to, well the place we normally did our shows was in a REC Center, nothing more than a basketball court, with pull out seats. The full capacity was 1100 people and the fire department tried to shut is down a few times, because we had standing room only.
I do believe 1300 people, was our record and we did that 3 trimes . So, How much did we make? As much as $11,000 and as little as $2500 and as far as he calculated the average was around $5000-$6000. We were also written up in Ring newspaper, as the best amateur show in the country.
So I decided to add this to my Bucket List, I am putting together a program that will teach you or someone in your organization, what I did and how I did it. In my heart, I believe at least 5-6 people in each LBC, maybe even outside Promoters, should take this training. I certainly believe this can help most clubs. At the time of this writing, this program will be a planned 26 week program, with audio's-video's, webinars and have a training manual. I am new to this internet thing, so it will take sometime to develop some of these skills, but after speaking to others in our organization, they all feel I should do it. I look forward to working with you and seeing your results. So please tell me if your interested and send a comment, what ever it is. If your happy with the money your shows have generated, please disregard this, If not let me know if your interested. You can reach me at :Strategiesunltd@aol.com. I am sure there will be a cost involved; but nothing compared to raising $5,000 to $10,000 a year for your group. For more information. e-mail me Thanks Ken

Love this idea. Two of my previous coaches trained kids & adults free of charge, booting the cost of the training facility themselves. They constantly struggled to raise money so they could take their team (often troubled youth) across country to compete. Ideas like this could help those like them.
Thanks for your comment, it is time more people get involved and learn the tricks of the trade. Stay in touch. Ken check this out
