The job of a boxing promoter involves much more like ceaselessly promoting boxers, helping them find suitable opponents, negotiating appearance fees, match timings, venues, pre-match promotions, and so on, often requiring months or even more time to prepare for a match.
Once everything is arranged and the boxer competes in the match, whether they win or lose, it all boils down to just a few minutes, in contrast to the promoters who are more active in this industry.
The role of an actor's agent is similar—after signing an actor, the agent needs to package and promote them, help select scripts, find suitable roles, and possess a certain degree of education to know which scripts suit their actors best.
Sometimes, they even need to know some acting and handle crisis public relations, awards public relations, among other skills that a professional agent should have.
