i was wondering if someone could tell me how much a boxer who has just turned pro would make and how often they would fight or if they can fight when they want. also, how long would it take to really make a name in the sport, this being based on the boxer being highly skilled.

Well, that all depends on alot of different factors:

how good/recognized is the fighter,

the fighter needs promotion and management,

if the fighter isn't yet recognized, he/she needs to find ways to get fights that are looked at by the boxing public (on undercards, etc.)


Bottomline is being a boxer is not neccessarily easy financially. Most fighters don't make that much unless they're well known name-wise (Jones Jr., Mayweather, Tyson, Lewis, etc.) The only way you really make serious money is if the public knows about you and is interested in how you can entertain them (or make them money).

lol, Manny your my man and all, but i think this will be a war and be soooo close i'm not putting any bets on it, i honestly think it could go either way.. i'm just leaning towards Morales at the moment, don't be surprised if i change it again before the fight gets here! I can't put my 100% confidence in either fighter cause i guarentee it will be down to the wire on this one, i can't wait!

so does how often the fighter fights depend at all how often he wants to fight or how often he can get a fight. i know these questions are probably common knowledge but where i live i am really out of the loop. so you'll have to forgive my ignorance.

Starting out the average fighter will make about $50 per round. If your fairly well known in the area you may get $100 a round. If your going to turn pro with the intentions of making alot of money you will certainly have to be patient unless ofcourse you just came from the olympics with a gold medal around your neck.

So much goes into getting into position to make the money. Not only must you have skill but you must have the right people around you. Without those people around you to move and look out for you, you will have much difficulty finding a good fight for yourself. You would end up coming into other guys home towns to fight for peanuts, and we know how home town decisions go.

If your looking to make some real money, I would suggest first getting an associates or bachelors degree in a field of your choice and joining the other worlds work force. Or, if your extremely confident of your skills and the people around you in boxing then give the pros a shot. Just know that jumping into the pro game you are jumping into a stacked deck.
