The Joy of Matchmaking..
Is there any job in the world that is as gratifying and frustrating as that of a fight events matchmaker? Yes, it is. Being a fight matchmaker (or many times called promoter) is the toughest job for Muay Thai. Sometimes you just don’t know how to ensure whether you have a perfect match to make fans enjoy and gain benefit of experience and this is also very desperate in most case.
There is nothing quite as gratifying (outside of the ring, that is) as putting together a fight card that is filled evenly matched, quality fights. While there is no way to be completely sure that both fighters will perform to the best of their abilities, you can be reasonably assured that you have matched the participants up as closely as possible in both size and experience, and that at least on paper the matches look to be solid.
As the matchmaker, however, you would be advised to account for the fact that no matter how many “sure-fire” matches you have arranged for, the final week leading up to the event will be jam-packed with emails and voice messages from fighters and teams that must, regretfully, withdraw from your coming event. In many cases, the reasons are actually legitimate. In other instances, the reasons range from irresponsibility to apathy. No matter the reason, it is enough to drive you to tear your hair out by the roots.
In most cases, if you have given the task your best effort, at the end of the night you find yourself walking away with a sense of pride and satisfaction in a job well done! So that it seems there are both good side and non-motivated side of being matchmaker, but you have to believe that it will become joyful when you see all of those boxers and fans cheer up even though it was not a really good fight.
