...do you have the temperament to do what it takes to pump-up the box office, e.g., criss-crossing the country doing pressers, TV sport shows 'n letting 24/7 follow you 'round the clock?

 

[Earl-Hickey]

The only way to really get people to pay for ppv and tickets etc is by hyping the fight up and trash talking.

Yes, i'd do it, even though a lot of the online community is going to call you names and stuff, it's all about the $$$ in the end

 

[Lilo]

It can't be anywhere near as hard as the 12 week training camps.

 

[JamieC]

I'd love it personally, I'd love a 24/7 I'd love the pressers, it'd be fun

 

[Roe]

I'm a quiet guy in general but I think I'd like this side of it. If I was a pro boxer I'd definitely still be on forums, answering questions on twitter etc and look forward to press conferences and interviews.

I think I'd try to play a few mind games as well.

definitely, i'd piss about in front of the cameras on 24/7 so much, make my opponent think i wasnt up for it, but id secretly be ready as fuck. i thought thats what JCC Jr was doing against Martinez, turns out that was his actual training routine haha

@JamieC :lol:

 

[Twelvey]

I dunno, I think I'd get pretty sick of the constant distractions and responsibilities outside of training.

I'll send over the HBO crew immediately, JC

Golden Boy was scouting you for a Mayweather title shot, 12, but I think this kills it.

I doubt Floyds got the minerals to step up to 210 pounds :lol:

 

[Robney]

I'm really not that kinda guy.
I really dislike louthmouths and sometimes I even get vicarious shame when I see some of them going all out.

So no, I probably would't do that. Even if it means having a lesser (financial) career because of it.

Has any South Wales amateur ever become a pro, JC?

Trying to imagine you at press conference opposite James Toney. Would there be fireworks that go viral, R?

Floyd heard you're popping off, 12, but he wants a 99-1 percent split on PPV 'n all the merchandising. Down with that?

Feel like an idiot not knowing that, JC

i really wouldn't, South Wales has produced a strange number of good fighters yet is often overlooked in favour of places like London/Sheffield/Manchester as hotbeds of boxing
