    Careers in boxing?

    anyone know anything about becoming a manager/promoter or any other high paying job involved in the business? i have no idea what i am doing in school. would i be ******ed if i just majored in sports managment and moved to vegas and attempted to break into the boxing scene? or is it too corrupt and too hard to make money. i speak spanish and russian also but i doubt that is going to get me very far. any help is appreciated.

      yeah my buddy just spent 4 grueling years at nyu, now he is going to work 90 hours a week for 60 thousand$. that isnt success for me( granted he will be a millionare in 10 years but for what? 15 years of virtually no life). the only way i would work that hard is if it was for something i was passioniate about, like boxing.

        yeah the junior college im at doesn't offer sports managment either, at this point i'd have to transfer as a pol sci major but i could switch when i get to a high level college but i know what you mean i like most sports so it doesn't matter to me but yeah boxing would be nice

          jc is smart. one of the best jcs in my state is like 15 min away. i take summer classes there and and there isnt really a difference in quality of education between that and asu for 100 and 200 level classes. girls are just as hot too. if my parents werent paying i would have deff spent two years there. i hate how much of a ripoff higher education is, but thats life i guess.

              maybe ill just ask floyd himself how it works cause nobody is answering here haha. hes gonna be throwing a superbowl party in scottsdale/ phoenix i cant remember. 300 bucks, or basically 600 cause i wouldnt go alone. if i knew i could talk to him for 5 min i would deff blow my savings and go, but i bet there is a 99% chance i wouldnt even be able to say wuts up to him.
