    Boxing articles, freelance writing?

    Written for no pay in the past, does anyone know any boxing websites that offer money to write articles?

    some of the trolls on here will probably pay you to put some well researched anti golovkin articles on the forum.

        A couple of posters from this site started out doing articles that way and went on to journalism careers. Neither post anymore. My suggestion would be start a blog and then after 4-5 entries you could start sending it to boxing websites to see if they're interested. I don't know the process but guessing you need to prove you're not just some random bum.

        Also I don't recall exactly but one of the Danish posters on here got a press pass from this site to go to one of Kessler's weigh-ins as official photographer, or something along those lines.

            You can probably make more money making youtube videos about boxing.

              That's a good shout. I was thinking of that but heard YouTube pay peanut money unless you have millions of subscribers

                It wouldn't be something I'd try to use as a primary source of income. But if you want to make some extra money on the side you should try it. I make around $150-$200 a month and I don't talk boxing on my channel. I got a video that went viral and I get $100 a month off that video alone. I rarely post videos on there. It's passive income. If boxing is your passion it should come easy. How much does freelance paid boxing writing make, $100 an article?
