Is becoming a pro boxer worth it?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
yes if you feel like it is. honestly if you're really good and think you can hang go for it. if you can't then no but whatever its your choice do what you want..

Doesn't look like you'd make it in college with that English.

To me it is. I'd do it. Get clicked up with a good promoter and manager and you'll get higher and higher.

Yeah, I guess so. But the chances of you succeeding are minimal. Do you have a plan B?

I would not advise it. The life of a boxer is very lonely. You also take a tremendous head pounding. I trained in boxing karate and jui jitsu only briefly. However I did train 2 amateur golden gloves champs. My partner and I were on the verge of going taking these 2 guys pro but things happened and it did not occur. The boxing business is very cutthroat and political. Very few people make it and become champions. The fights are the easy thing the training day in and day out is the most difficult. You have to train doing roadwork floor exercises bag punching amongst other things. You have to be consistent and have a training schedule that has to be followed regularly. This is the part that most cannot endure. I wish you well and hope that if you do choose to be a pro can be disciplined enough to realize when it is time to quit.

No way in hell is it worth it. For every boxer that makes it and gets millions, there are 20 that make nothing and have to take up normal jobs, bringing with them all the brain damage and it's effects with them. Chances are any aspiring boxer will fail and have to quit. Too many negatives to take into account

If you have the talent and skill plus physical gifts, yes.

Just remember that for every top, quality boxer making a decent living, there are thousands of pros, fighting in high school gyms and working their **** off to be recognized and rated.
