Do boxer have any type of injure insurance?

[Puya]

For example we have Paul Williams, he will no be able to fight again, what is he going to do about money.

Another example, J-Lo's a$$ she has that thing secure if something bad happens to that big chunk of meat.


So ...Do boxer have any type of injure insurance?
like career defining injure?
Do the qualify for such insurance?

Do mananger offer something to them, do they get take care off?

[The Gambler1981]

I am going to say no because the premiums would be much to high, boxing is a dangerous business and most top end fighters that might be able to afford it probably feel invincible thus don't see the benefit of the high cost.

I asssume they can get a normal health or life inssurance if the accident does not occurred in the ring. can you agree?

Probably but they would still be real pricey, because even if they are covered in the ring that damage doesn't just go away when they step outside the ring.

Life might be tough for a fighter to get but I assume they would get hooked up with health by a promoter's or manager's company.

They might be insured through their promoters for work related injuries. As for Paul, I would highly doubt his medical bills are going to be covered by anyone.

If they did wouldn't it be like a "injured on the job" kind of thing? I don't think a motorcycle accident while going to a wedding counts.

Damn! hope he had something in the bank or made an intelligent investment.

Like Cotto who has like 15 gas stations and some other bussines

[DeadLikeMe]

As far as medical insurance goes, it would vary but the promotional companies have to have liability insurance.

Insuring body parts like JLo? I think Mayweather has his hands insured by Sotheby's of London (possibly a different boxer). They insure 'parts' of athletes and I am unaware of anyone else doing such.

well several boxers take out a health and life insurance policy before they turn pro. in that regard they avoid the high premiums.
