Three Ways To Use Hired Models During A Boxing Event
When you're promoting a boxing event at any level, you want is to appear professional in nature — even if it's only at the amateur ranks. Organizing a pro-caliber boxing event means securing the right venue, advertising the event widely, and having top-tier fights. You'll also want to consider hiring models from a local talent agency who can contribute to the event in a number of ways. Give specific details to the talent agency about the roles that the models will play to ensure that everyone is on the same page. Here are some ways to use these models.
Carry Round Signs
A traditional way in which models are involved in boxing events is to walk around the ring between each round, holding a large placard that depicts the round number. Models performing this role — frequently known as "ring girls" in the fight scene — are fixtures at large professional boxing events, and taking this approach can definitely add some excitement to your event — even if it's a smaller one. You'll need to get signs made up with large number and have the signs readily available at the side of the ring. If you have three models, for example, have them alternate rounds.
Hold The Belts
If you have championship belts on the line for your boxing event (or a series of trophies if your event is smaller) you can involve the hired models by having them hold the belts or trophies. For example, if you're having publicity photos taken before a match, having the two fighters squaring off with one of your models holding the championship belt in the background. Similarly, when the fighters enter the ring at the start of a bout, having a model hold the belt that is at stake while standing beside the referee or ring announcer is an idea to pursue.
Interact With Fans
Boxing fans appreciate the opportunity to interact with those in the spotlight at boxing events, and that includes the models. When you attend a boxing event, you'll frequently get a chance to meet the models and have your picture taken with them, so it's a good idea to introduce this idea for your event, too. If you have a reception event before or after the boxing, have your models circulate throughout the room to take photos and interact with fans. Fans of all ages will enjoy meeting the models and snapping selfies with them.
