How many $$$$$$$?

I've been wondering about what boxers are earning for a fight. Then I'm not talking about those at the top, I know that they are getting sky high figures :) What is the average boxer getting? I hope that someone can give me some information about this, I've been looking all over the web for something but can't find anything useful

It much depends on several variables. A minimun wage figure when one starts is about $100 per round. Depending on the location and promoter, this figure does not include travel and accomodations (which should be taken care of). Receiving $800-$1000 for a 4 rounder is considered well. One variable is who the opponent is. A stablemate of mine has received $2200 for 6 rounds. If one gets a great payday and does well, more doors (and possibly $) get opened. Warning: purses will be investigated and held if it is way obvious the boxer does not or cannot fight (going diving).
Good luck and please keep the chin down.

Fighters dont get money for travel expenses and such, gyms do...

But sometimes guys who are putting on amateur shows will pay each fighter $25-50 instead of handing out trophies/belts/medals.
