Hey Everyone,
This tournament is being reenacted for TheBoxingMagazine.com. About half the first half of the tournament will stay as is for the sake of time. The last half will be reenacted for publicity purposes. The tournament and the results will be in eBook format (PDF). It will be downloadable from TheBoxingMagazine.com.
Basically, in this format, I can be as graphically "intense" as I want to be with any restrictions.
If anyone would like to submit any information, photos of fighters, interesting stories, etc. for the tournament, send me an email with the information. If it's used in the final publication, I'll make sure you get the credit for it
.
Boxing popularity isn't as big as it used to be, but nevertheless, I'm going to publicize the event, the site, and TB to about 1200 different media outlets in radio, TV, Cable, Newspapers and Magazines throughout the USA. After that, Germany. And after that, the UK.
I'm really happy to be doing this. Here's why. When I was a kid, they always told me, "Do what you like and the money will follow." Then, as I got older, I told them what I wanted to do and they (just about everyone) said, "Oh, you can't make any money doing that!!"
I started publishing "How-To" booklets back in 1998. I've published about a dozen different titles like; "How To Repair Your Poor Credit Rating," "Car Buying Secrets," and many others. I wrote about stuff like that because it sold well via mailorder and then, online.
Then, I created courses on how to self publishing eBooks, courses, and all sorts of stuff. I even did seminars and wrote newsletters.
I still do on occasion.
But I never wrote about Boxing. That's because I had to pay the bills!! Now, finally, (God knows how many years after "Do what want" was first uttered) I get to write about boxing and the game the filled "all the gaps" in what was taking place in the real world of boxing.
When your a kid they tell you - you can do anything you set your mind to. When you're an adult, they tell you why "that'll never work."
Go figure.
My dream job growing up would have been to owned something like Ring Magazine. Next choice... maybe KO Magazine or World Boxing.
Now, it looks like I'll have to settle for TheBoxingMagazine.com. But when you really get right down to it, that's really not too bad after all.
