White Collar Boxing -Behind the scenes

TheOldHand

I see so many of these events now and I've no real issue with different people training and putting on a night of boxing for a laugh. But I'm curious about the financial aspects. I don't like the way many of these events seem to be commercial enterprises but they have some charity element tacked on. The whole thing about selling lots of tickets. I've never been in involved in one so could somebody shed some light on them.

Different ones obviously have different ways but the 1 I run the fighters get sponsorship for the charity and we do raffles too and then the actual show is a club fundraiser. Once all is clear then there is no issue, basically we run a club fundraiser and get to help a charity out aswell, take away the charity and it would make no difference to the rest of the show.


Some of them run like a business's where they charge to run it and then whatever is made over that total Is profit made for the charity or orgsnosarion involved.
