How much $$$$ do pro Boxers make?

Just wondering how much money a pro boxer makes in the early stages of their career.I wanna know if its enought to train full time w/ no other job. Give me some examples like pro debut middleweight 30 amateur fights then maybe when ur 6-0 or how much do fighters make w/ losing records Usually start around 150 per round if youre a nobody.

like it was said earlier a lot of factors go into it but if quick $$$ is your goal your waaaaaay better off being a "journeyman" a tomato can , its like getting paid to give the a side fighter a workout your not supposed to win just last a couple rds and DONT GET HURT. In CO a journeyman who does his job can fight twice a month making $1000-$1500 a fight. As for prospects (under 10 bouts) they usually need a sponsor, trainer ,manager or a team supporting them. For example I know a up and comer who is sponsored by a group of local business men. One owns a used car lot so he provided a vehicle another owns some rental properties so he provided an apartment for the fighter. If your a prospect lucky enough to get support it will only be enough to live and train off of.

I went to a boxing fight a month ago and VIP seating was $35.00. There were about 5 fights in total. I don't think those pro fighters made a lot of money.

a firend of mine made like 600-700 and he's was at 150 he had like 12 amatuer fights...

Unless you're an exciting ko puncher. Not necessarily, it's not what you can do but who you know. If you have a good manager, he will give you a per diem every month to hold you over while you train for fights. Of course you can almost always expect to see that money deducted from your purses afterwards. Being an exciting ko puncher as you put it means nothing if you don't have proper management. I know plenty of guys like that working at car washes.

thats why boxers should manage theirselves, like Money May:alcoholic Mayweather doesn't manage himself, Leonard Ellerbe and Al Haymon handle his business affairs.

If there is TV, then you make money. If there isn't, you better be a good ticket seller or else you will find yourself on the lowest end of the pay scale. If you can cover your purse and your opponent's purse with your ticket sales, then you have a much better chance of finding yourself on a boxing card than if you think you're going to just get a free ride and someone is going to pay you to fight in front of an empty audience. When you're first coming up, the opponents make much more than the prospects. The prospects often fight for next to nothing for a four-rounder while the opponent gets paid. An opponent who knows he has little chance to win won't just fight a tough guy for cheap. That's why most of the money goes to them early on.

thats why boxers should manage theirselves, like Money May:alcoholic but Money May is the type of guy who wins the lottery and goes out a buys a Horse Statue made out of gold. Thats why the IRS is on his ass now.

damn thats nothing ive just finished this book called The Greatest Sport of All: Another year in Boxing by Thomas Hauser. And it had chapter on how much money Manny Pac got for the morales rematch. And damn man its a shame. His purse was 2 million and he got like 300k in the end. It details where all his money went from 50,000 for a translator to like 30 percent for his manager(s) and like 250k for his promoter.

Trainer = 10% Cutman = 2-3% Manager = 10 - 50% They might waive their cut early in your career but they'll expect you to stick with them later. Your trainer will typically be your cutman early in your career.

The great majority of them don't make much and have to work another job to support themselves. A small, small percentage of them make good money.

Are your forced to have a cutman early in your career? 20 percent sounds ridiculous, especially when a cutman might suck at their job and since their barely doing any work compared to what the boxer does in the ring... Ridiculous!

a lot of times you'll see the guys who get brought in to lose make more money than the prospect. there's a lot of factors that go into it.

damn thats wack guess u gotta keep a job and train as a second job urly on that sucks Unless you have a really good amatuer backround like winning golden gloves or something international and then you will probably have a good promoter and get paid a few thousand for your pro debut

damn thats wack guess u gotta keep a job and train as a second job urly on that sucks Unless you're an exciting ko puncher.

Usually 20 percent then taxes damn thats wack guess u gotta keep a job and train as a second job urly on that sucks

id be happy with 2K a fight...

i think amir khan makes about 400'000 or more - steve bunce said khan wont accept 250'000 like it was a small amount to him No point in him getting knocked out for 250,000

and lets say it 2k how much does boxer clean and how much goes to trainer,cutman,manager? Usually 20 percent then taxes
