Thinking about taking on boxing as a profesional?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
Do you have a background in amateur boxing? If not, then I wouldn't recommend a career as a professional boxer as the only result is you're going to suffer knockout loss after knockout loss. The chances of you going big are virtually nil, as you have admitted in your question that you are doing this strictly for the money. Your future isn't bright if you embark on a career as a pro.

I would seriously suggest you do some research. The fight game has some big money, but generally not for the fighters. From a very long time ago, fighters have been exploited by promoters, handlers, trainers, and so forth.

Big fat purses tend to end up in the pockets of those folks before the fighter gets a nickel.

As well...Have you not been paying any attention to the news lately? Are you not aware of the serious danger from repeated concussions? Years ago, they used to joke about fighters being "punch drunk" from brain damage incurred from repeated head trauma.

Now, add to that premature dementia, alzheimers, parkinsons (as in Mohammed Ali) and so forth.

i think u were right, you're better off with boxing man. but then again, stocks rise and fall. maybe the UFC can pick up because of new talent. guys like you. you do what your gut tells you to do big guy do what u gotta do you can be as good as u want

brother if u want to take boxing as a professional sport you just got to have it in you..no uncertainty u have to give everything in you to get somewhere if you want to achieve success in a pro boxing career you have to dream boxing eat boxing sleep boxing

because you can get hurt its a full contact sport

I'm currently 17 I'm 5'3 ft tall and I'm thinking about taking boxing as a career, at first I was thinking Mixed Martial Arts but it seems you have to be tall or at least around 5-10 to be able to enter the divisions with all the attention and seeing boxing even the featherweights get good money, I am doing this for money but I also like boxing and I'm doing mixed martial arts and I was just putting this question up to ask how big are the chances of me going big, and what are the process that I need to do thanks I appreciate every piece of advice.
