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.Comment

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.Comment

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!Comment

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.Comment
