What is the difference between a Manager and an Agent, if any?
Asked by Rover
In terms of representing an artist/ band or professional sportsperson (particularly boxers). Do the two terms mean different things? Or are they two names for the same role? I am interested in becoming a manager for either a boxer or a band (having a passion for both but being no good at either!). I do, however, have a good head for business and numbers and could, if I wanted, sell a fridge freezer to an Eskimo. So what's involved? Thanks!

Best Answer:
Manager is the authorised person in charge of that production team in business operation and finances & an Agent is a broker a middle person for generating contacts and business between two parties ligitation.(an agent is a third party)

A manager is defined as one who is in charge of the business affairs of an entertainer where as an agent is one that acts or has the power or authority to act on behalf of someone
