Boxing is a sport with some accepted norms. Of course, it is customary before almost every major fight to see a solid promotional push in an attempt to both spread awareness for the event for which the bout will take place aa well as to engage in the time tested art of hyping the fight. More often than not, it is the use of “Hype” that is the main tool in the arsenal of both the promoters as well as fighters to generate interest in an encounter. With rare exceptions, fighters throughout all combat sports begin their journeys as professional fighters in a similar fashion, competing on small cards and or fighting on the opening bouts of major Boxing cards.
