What do you need to do to become a pro boxer or a promoter?

[wrimc]

Thats was quite good of Frank i suppose its necessary but a bit of a price to pay for a jorneyman our young prospect looking to get involved how much does a pro licence cost? Must be hard to start out as a pro boxer

[m1kee50]

The mri was bout 300 quid but FW set up a fund where the board gave each fighter a 100 quid rebate

whatever else we say about him we should remember that

he doesnt do that anymore

i know but he did it when he didnt have to. and he didnt just do it for his fighters either

A nightclub owner in my area is giving promoting a try. Don't think he's got any boxing background, think the only link he has to boxing is that chris pyatt is one of his doormen!

interesting to see nottingham lad terry maughan is on that bill , i dont know him personally but quite a few people i know , grew up with him , meant to be aq good lad , but i have seen him fight on his debut on undercard of froch v dirrell and he was stopped by matt scriven , unbeaten since , but id imagine hes not going to do a great deal in his career if he cant beat the durable journeyman scriv .

Being a pro is very expensive. Not only do you have to find all this money initially but then you have to find the right matches etc.. Plus find a decent trainer whose willing to part with their time for a decent rate. Its best to find a sponsor. I had a couple and they were very kind and covered everything, never expecting much in return.

Hi flint the book is called Looking for a fight

that auother/fighter is david matthews http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
had his one and only fight against scriven, great read btw

Fantastic read that, amazing how the guy transformed himself. He went from being a bit of a fatty to being cut like a pro in a relatively short period.

yeah - great read

I've just ordered it. £3.07 delivered. D
