Staging Smaller Shows
Sauerland believes that smaller, non-televised shows can be a great way to get fights for his stable of 25 fighters. These shows can be held in smaller venues, such as community centers or local arenas, and can be promoted through social media and local advertising. By staging these shows, Sauerland can help his fighters gain experience and exposure in front of live audiences, which can be beneficial for their career development. • Benefits of smaller shows:
Sauerland emphasizes the importance of building a strong team around his fighters. This includes not only coaches and trainers but also other support staff, such as nutritionists, psychologists, and physiotherapists. By surrounding his fighters with a team of experts, Sauerland can help them achieve their full potential and succeed in the competitive world of professional boxing.
