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.

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..

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.

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.
