What Steps do u take to become a Proffesional Boxer

[fraidycat]

You couldnt be more correct about signing on the line....I have screened about 3 lawyers so far and its tough to find a good one...I want someone to take a % of future earnings as opposed to an initial downstroke. It is a shady business....Ive just recently began to do backround music for some reality tv shows on mtv and the e channel...

Do you have your own studio? How is the indy scene in Seattle??

The indie scene up here is dead. Brandi Carlile is the latest thing to come out of here but she's a fluke. I don't have a studio but I work with many local producers so I have a bank of time I use for projects. Cong**** again on the scoring work; that's a tough nut to crack.

BTW, if you need a lawyer, give Michael Blaha a ring in Santa Monica. He's in the book. The guy is a kickass lawyer (former VP of soundtracks for Warner, IIRC) and a cool cat. He negotiates on spec, or used to; if he doesn't anymore, he'd know someone who does. Tell him Joey from Scream Radio says hi.

I think the last music town may be Austin TX, the internet has really changed the indie scene....in a good way though....

I appreciate the reference. I will be sure to give him a call and let him know you said hello...thanks again!

to box professionally in the UK you usually have a promoter and sign a contract for X number of fights. You will usually be assigned a trainer by the promoter, someone he trusts or you might keep your old one.

if you find boxing 12 rounds on a bag difficult you probably dont have the fitness to box 3 rounds in a professional ring. I'd suggest you get some basic level of fitness.

There are a lot of '****' boxers out there who are professional. Being professional doesn`t mean you have talent. Unless you have talent, and you will know yourself if you do, i wouldn`t try and be a pro, because you wont make any money and will take a lot of beatings for not very much money.

You'll wake up one day, you'll be 40, you'll look like **** and have to go and work on a building site at 6am carrying bricks in the pissing rain.
