I never understand why fighters don’t fight a big fight and instead of all this intense sparring fight a journeymen in they hometown. They get the rounds in and they get to have some fun in front of they hometown. Build a strong fan base. Like why shouldn’t Errol fight PED January then decent journeymen in February them big fight in April then journeymen in may then big fight in July.
5 fights in 7 months, including 3 of the 5 being solid to big fights breh?
He'd lose eventually due to wear & tear, bc nobody else would be doing that.

Just for this year I think it would be perfect promotion plus his big fights wouldn’t be the biggest because those people are occupied.
I was thinking more of everybody start them out young and this is how they get paid.

I agree with the concept, but I feel like if they fought 3-4 times a year they'd be fine. A bum fight in the hometown is cool, but these dudes ain't trying to do that since the money won't be big like that. They not trying to pick up 50k to beat up some career mode jobber. Everybody wants to get paid 500k plus for every fight. The days of James Toney fighting on ESPN FNF's then fighting again 3 months later on HBO are finished. These new nikkas don't love boxing like that. I think they enjoy those long ass 9 month breaks in between fights.
I think if you start a young lion's career like that and maybe set up a website that can stream those hometown fights and build the fanbase up, it could work. Its just that in boxing's current state, I don't see any established guy doing this even though I think it would benefit their career
I don't even follow Herring no more....he aint an #OhioPlayer, he from New York

Probably got released.
Lost 2 of his last 3 fights, no fan interest, not an interesting style

3-4 fights is perfect. How the hell you expect to build a fan base fighting once a year and disappearing? Not only that while they are chilling the rest of the year, they aren’t doing anything to build their profile, yet they want to be stars?
These guys are fighting once or twice a year before they have achieved the type of status that should allow for that.
