Good interview.  He's either going to move at a rapid pace or be the next Antonio Johnson.  Who knows?

He's tells me he's looking forward to fighting close to home.

Well if he's signed to another promotional deal and has a $3k minimum per 4 rounder (rumored) guarantee then that's going to be a tough thing to accomplish.

good stuff. I didnt know a whole lot about him.

Well, now you know a little bit more.  You're welcome.  

Nice profile Mystic...I think Starks has a promising career ahead of him and he has the talent to win some big fights.  Hopefully he gets a nice promotional deal.

So, if I can ask a dumb question here--how do these promotional deals work? Top Rank or TKO sign him for so many fights and those fights all have a minimum of how much he will make? So, if it is 3K, then doesnt that rule out a majority of cards out there? Or would the promotional company make up the difference?

I'm not at all familiar with the specifics of promotional deals, but am curious.
