Give it all up for boxing or not?

[..David..]

go for it men, if things dont go your way or you feel you didnt do good enough for a year then go to college, but c mon if u really love it and its your dream go for it.

Society will always make you feel guilty about pursuing your dreams like you are letting people down, fuc k them they just want to create robots for their corporations ahahahahaha i know i am insane, i am just saying, if you dont try and then settle down and live a normal good lifestyle you will always regret it.

If you really want to succeed in boxing you cant be 70% dedicated to it, you have to breath and sweat boxing.

Remember most people dont fail because they aimed too high and failed, most people never even shoot, they aim too low and reach it, and live their whole lifes in conformity.

hahaha maybe i am kind of crazy but hey we are boxers , we are all crazy

Go to uni!! You'll have tons of time on your hands when your there and join a local boxing club in Northampton. Do not do something you will regret and go.

If you get a job now, you will have less time to box than if you are at uni.

The answer is easy, go get an education.

yeah? in how many gyms have u been training???? sure u only went to your actual one. Dude, think like a man or you are ****ing ******?....if u have been in boxing for 2-3 months...stick to the university, u are a nobody in boxing u dont even know if u could be a good amateur fighter, no talking about pro.... because u havent tasted that experience. Dont throw to trash chances of having a wealthy life with ur studies and all that...dont risk your opportunities....a lot of people would kill for having that choice.

Anyway, u can rejoin boxing after u finish your studies or go to another gym near of uni...its ur choice but dont be a fool.

yeah i second that...to succes in boxing u gotta breathe and sweat boxing but....seriously, How could u give that advice to a kid that hadnt had an amateur fight and have been in boxing for 2-3 months, to give up his studies and try to go on pro???? MAN, ill introduce to u a new, but cute, word....REALITY

[..David..]

oh sorry man.. i tought u were at least, fighting in the amateurs, well its up to you to make the choice, if you do decide to go for the boxing, i ll recommend you to be 120% commited men and i mean hardcore training day in day out

, of course you can still train being in college, you can even take some light semesters and complete your studies little by little, to have enough time for real hard training, which its what i would recommend if you feel you have the talnet but havent really trained for long.

[Pecs]

my advice is go to uni and box in a gym nearby.....you should be able to find one. Man... you shouldn't put everything into boxing....just my two cents

[kryo]

WRONG.....i make more than all my friends who have degrees..u lil **** face slut...i went to school for 4years and it is worthless here in the states..just cause one isnt in school dont mean u cant learn real life **** on your own..i make 2500 a week doin what i do...so what

Yep, you're officially ******ed.

If you look closely, it says the "mean earnings", which MEANS the average amount. Do you know what an average is?

Congratulations, if you truely make that much and you didn't go to college then you're one of the lucky few. "u lil **** face slut" lol, manners certainly isn't something you picked up on very well, is it? Must be hidden somewhere behind that GED you sport around.

[kryo]

all that info is bull****..its given by our American government to scare u into school so the states can make tons of money off of u for the next 4 ta 10years without paying u good money in the meantime...

My aunt makes $180k a year at Boeing, has three master degrees and has been working for her PHD for about 5 years now. My uncle has his PHD and is making $250k+ a year as the leading radiologist in WA. My other uncle only has an AA but still makes 70k a year at Boeing. My father didn't do **** and now he doesn't make ****.

Must be so awesome making $2500 a week without a college degree. Or your simply lying.. hahahah

Besides, I love going to college.. I get to look at dime pieces all day and, when the time comes up, have interesting conversations with people who know how to capitalize words, use commas, and spell correctly.

Kyro you are amazing!

Anyways, I agree with those who say go to university and box at a gym near your school. I go to university and box at the same time. I'm just as obsessed with boxing as you are. You have a better chance of making a good life for yourself by getting an education than you do by becoming a pro boxer. Very few pro boxers make it and even some of the best boxers don't make much money. You have no fight experience thus far so there is no way of knowing if you're really going to make it. That being said, it's very possible to do both. Just manage your time well and you can focus on both. Good luck and stay in school.

You may well be obsessed but that is no reason to sacrifice Uni.

You can find a new gym at Uni.
Your obviously not good enough to be a pro so your never going to make any decent cash in boxing.
Who is going to support you when you drop out of Uni?

People are obsessed with cars, they don't give up their job to try to be a presenter on Top Gear....

Ignore people like this who chat out their arse .
Degrees are vital to getting a job in the UK as you probs know.

If you get a job now, you will have less time to box than if you are at uni

He's probs right you know.
