It depends if they are accomplished amatuers, gold medalists, or fighters who have recieved no attention prior to going pro.
But its chump change.

MAYBE.
It also depends on who their fighting, and most e****ially where they are fighting.
More money against more well known opponents and in big cities, e****ially big boxing cities.
But if 2 nobodies are facing one another in alaska, they would be lucky to get 200 a fight.

I've heard $400 is a realistic number as an AVERAGE. $100 a round for a 4 rounder. Then when you take out taxes (managers/trainers etc usually don't take their share of a fighter's purse when he's only making such a pitiful amount) you're left with a pittance. When you consider the time needed to rest between fights, it's clearly impossible to make a living on boxing alone if you're an average fighter with no fanfare behind his debut.

Now an olympic hero or highly respected amateur is a different story altogether. I have no idea how much it'd be, but a hell of a lot more. Also these kind of fighters usually receive big bonuses just for signing with a manager/management team.

Even for a decent guy with a 10-0 record you are looking around $1500-$5000 a fight tops. Not until you have stepped up and have 15+ fights and are fighting 10 rounders will you get over $10,000 a fight.

After that it can go up real fast. However, a few bad loses and you will go nowhere.

Like they say, your either rich or poor when it comes to boxing!

And when some big time boxers make a bit of cash they say adios to boxing. Some like PBF and then you get the exeption to the rule like Holyfield.
