View Full Version : Making a living out of boxing

I often contemplate turning into a profesional boxer , and make a living out of fighting taxi drivers :lol: and just build a career based on fighting bums.
1) I won't have to go in the ring with real threatening opponents
2) I will make a decent wage with say about 10-12 fights per year, and gradually earn more money after beating say (x) amount of fighters..
3) I already have some talent, just need to work on my fitness
4) I 've had amateur fighting experience , and plenty of years of sparring
5) Just keep fighting bums in Australia -the likes of overseas thai's and filo's with 0-15 records :D
6) I'd say I'm a pretty boring fighter to watch, as I like to see a boxing fight as a chess match, rather than a brawl,so I don't think I'll be a real crowd pleaser, but just be on the undercard of big fighters..
7) If the opportunity arises for any opponent with a decent record to challenge me, I'd make up some excuse that I have an injury and can't fight him..
8) Try to prevent my face getting squashed by constantly running around the ring..and just using my jab , in and out..
I think it could possibly work......:huh

To create a quick buck fighting bums, you need to build up some kind of profile, preferably a controversial one. Maybe you should make a song about fingering children, or something along those lines and then turn pro.
Though you should probably just stick to the forums. :p

You'd have to be fighting every 2 weeks to make a living off fighting complete bums. It wont take long for people to catch on and promoters probably wont be interested in a guy who gets to 12-0-0 fighting a guy whos 0-15 and running from him all night................when really a true 12-0 guy should blow him out in 1!
I have thaught about taking a few pro fights to pay off the odd debt. You can earn a quick AUS$600/800 for being a fall guy for some up and commer! Take 2/3 a year so your not getting your head ruined and you can easily make AUS$3'500 extra per year, always helpful for paying off the credit card bill!
There is very little money in boxing at the lower levels. It is a very tough sport to make a living off, and unless sponsered within Australia, would most probably be impossible unless you had a lot of media interest in you for what ever reasons.
I would take Pecks idea and start working on some lyrics Tills:D
You could ask Dennis Ferguson to join you and call yourselves the Rock Spiders.

Do it tills!!!!
1-5 is a great idea!!! 6 ...well when your fighting bums you could be more pleasing to watch seeing how you would KO them :!: and with more fitness comes more punches :bbb
i think you could make a cool life out of it. Thats if you really do enjoy training 6 days a weeks for at least 4 hours a day!!!

Hopefully you wont end up a bum. Do it Tills. Just hope you dont lose your first fight. You can always count on the judges to be on your side. If your a bum fighting a bum it's a bum fight may the best bum win.
:good :bbb
Do it Tills, do a few more laps of your local oval and hit the chewing gum hard and you're half way to living the dream.

mate, Khoder is a bum that lives in the back of Mundines Car.
Khoder is the reason why we all get frustrated at Mundines lack a quality opposition. Khoder feeds him these bullshit opponents and Mundine says "yes please".
Khoder looks after his own financial interests by making sure Mundine doesn't lose. Mind you, i give Khoder credit for finding fighters that not even the sanctioning bodies have seen before! He must have gone to the far reaches of the earth to find these cardboard cutouts.
He smells, he is foul mouthed, i have no time for this man whatsoever!

I think Koda knows enough by now that Mundine earns the bid dollars out of the big fights and the samll dollars out of the small fights....I think Koda is waiting for the right fight for Mundine so he can get some big dollars win or get KO'ed.

Mate we are comparing them to other professional fighters. Of course that is the case. I didn't realise you had to be a pro boxer to watch and enjoy boxing.

MSTR - where in my post did i say you needed to be a professional boxer to talk about boxing???
I simply stated that many people on this board talk about BUMS/Jounryman.....when truth of the matter is these guys have done more in boxing than any of you ever will, and they could all beat you hands down.
So mabye its time for a little respect for anyone with balls who steps into the ring, which is more than anyone on here will ever do.

You really are a sad cup of tea, aren't you.
I guess you've never voiced criticism of anyone thats achieved more than you in any selected field then?
Politicians, football players, cooks, the 99.9% of people who are able to use their brain more effectively than yourself, etc, are you honestly saying that you've neve said a bad word about these people, etc?
Stop crying. Get over it. Move on with life, and stop being such a fucking cry baby. :good
