Eruption Boxing Management

In the cutthroat and male-dominated world of boxing and mixed martial arts, one has to be assertive and have an instinct for success.
Fortunately for Eruption Boxing Management, as above so below, which explains why the battery of boxers and fighters under Gwen Legge immediately assert themselves as soon as the bell rings.
I sent Eruption Boxing’s Gwen Legge an invitation to be a guest on my program Sports For All. She has committed to appearing on the program as she continues to navigate through her busy schedule to appear on my podcast to tell her story and how her journey is going in a male-dominated sport.
Owning, managing, and operating a boxing and MMA management company is both high risk and high reward but Gwen is ready, 30-plus years in sales and marketing have prepared her for it.
Managing the careers of four professional boxers is no easy task but in the few times I’ve had a conversation with the native New Yorker who has been a Californian for the last 40-plus years, I’ve gotten a sense that she doesn’t get rattled and she is grace under pressure and she has a blueprint as to where she wants to take Eruption in the next several years.
In those 30-plus years, she’s built a name for herself through the business and working relationships she’s built. It also helps that these relationships proudly wear her clothing line and fight gear.
In the world of combat sports specifically boxing where unfortunately you have your share of unscrupulous managers and promoters, Gwen takes care of the careers she manages.
She’s very transparent with the fighters she works with and she tells them how it is.
According to an interview on eshemagazine.com, “I as a Manager look for these specific traits in a person, which are their attitude, demeanor, honesty, being a good listener, reliable, and are humble.” I’d like to think there still are boxers and fighters out there who have the aforementioned qualities, especially those who have not proven themselves yet.
Gwen’s company is well organized. She owns, operates, and manages her organization, boxers, and fighters based on values such as hard work, honesty, integrity, trust, sacrifice, and genuine empathy and compassion.
Managing a stable of boxers and fighters is challenging because you’re dealing with different characters, personalities, and tendencies, and they each have their different set of circumstances.
If you’re a boxer or fighter looking to make an impact in combat sports, you’ll need a high-character individual, and being a sales and marketing veteran of 30 plus years, highly respected, and with a rock solid reputation, Gwen brings a lot to the table.
According to nyweekly.com, “My goal in this industry,” Gwen tells us, “is to help my fighters achieve the highest level of goals and to contribute my utmost to the Boxing & MMA industry in the Sport of Boxing.” If you’re starting in boxing and MMA, it would be good to have Gwen in your corner if you know what’s good for you.
