    **** all really.
    The average fighter starts out with purses around $800 and doesn't really have any representation and would have to beat about 20 taxi drivers to get any recognition.

    People like De la Hoya who win gold make about $20,000 in a purse in their opening bout and are usually already signed to a top tier promotion company and work with world class trainers.

    your knowledge about this?

    **** all really.

      That is the reason why. Also he knew that if he left the UK for big fights, he would probably lose and can't always get a robbery.

        How about carrying on reading the rest of my posts in this thread to understand what that statement really means you ****ing flid!

        I'll say it anyway, winning a medal doesn't mean you'll make it as a pro. must do some don't. Just because you don't win an olympic medal doesn't mean you cant go on to be a P4P boxer.

        Now wind it in you ****ing mug!.
