      Sometimes a little more. I knew a beginning pro, winner of a few golden gloves, who was paid $1000 for a match win or lose.

      Getting a couple of hundreds for less than an hour of work doesn't sound bad. But you also have to consider the time spent on labor preparing for the fight: boxing training, s&c conditioning, watching tape religiously, adhering to a strict schedule + diet, etc. Punishment is also apart of the game.

      Boxers have to make many sacrifices.

      Prizefighting is only glamorous when you're looking at it from the outside.

        You literally have to do none of that dude. Why the hell are you looking to study up on opponents when you are a journeyman? I'm serious. Just go in there and take your punches and get your cash.

          Think about it this is BANK. I mean say I just get 100 bucks. Which was the lowest offer I got, I can fight 10 times as a PART TIME STUDENT AND CASH OUT AT 1K. PER WEEK.

          I'll just fight like 10 times Sunday.

            Would you be fine with continuously getting KTFO?

            Unsuccessful pros may look like walkovers when they're getting beat up on televised broadcast, but they have the hands to rock the majority of the population.

              Maybe.. I'll record my first fight and post it on the scene. Just to see how I do.

                  Boxing's discipline and determination transfers over to the classroom. It gives you self-control and helps you analyze things differently from your classmates.

                  There are no studies behind this, this is something I believe.

                    Great post bro. Ya I BELIEVE that too. That's why Imma do it. I'm also gonna cheat. I'm 6'1 and I can rehydrate up to like 180. I believe this will give me a massive edge against the much smaller natural 154 fighters
