sports promoter
Game event organizer
A sports promoter is someone who organizes and publicizes sporting events, handling everything from securing venues and athletes to marketing and ticket sales.
Promoters work on commission or percentage of gate receipts, taking financial risk in exchange for potential profit: Don King was boxing's most flamboyant promoter.
The term often carries connotations of showmanship and hype.
