is their an age limit for a profighter in australia

[sean68]

Hi guys I have a mate who had a lot boxing abilty but never took the step to have fight although he spared guys who did fight and told him should have a go but he got married and did other things now he is divorced still fit as fiddle and would love to have just one crack see how he goes .. also how much do guys get paid for 4 round fight as was debating that with a guy here at work .. thanks

Hi Sean
Not sure if there is an age limit (other than having to be 18).
A 4 rd fight for someone on debut with no recognition might get $200, which would barely cover expenses.

Fidel is in pretty poor health these days.

The first step for your friend would probably be to find an honest trainer to assess his ability. Maximum age for boxers vary from State to State. He could find who regulates boxing in his state and phone them to ask what the limit is in that state.

1000 bucks for a 4 rounder is usually the going rate. Could get a bit more on a big card but depends on the promoter.

[sean68]

thanks guys he is 43 it is a bucket list thing for him .. he would fight at light heavy or crusier abilty wise he held his own with guys HE Sparred with can someone recomend me a good gym in western sydney seven hills/blacktown area whear a guy off street can train along side some pro's to see if he has got it.

At 43 he'll be pushing his luck to get a licence in NSW. However, he can register in Victoria, which will solve the problem

not sure about this one,i"ve seen some of these corporate bouts get out of hand with 50-55 year olds get carried away and maybe it"s time the lines were drawn for the sake of all involved.good question mate.maybe this could bring some needed improvements.

[Ross]

good answers think you covered it all
imo 4 rounds would $200 a round = $800, your friend could try a deal with a promoter with ticket sales and make some more $
43 mmm I agree with find an experienced trainer and start training, sparring and see how he goes, 43 for 1st fight ever (?) and in the pro s is a big step, too old to fight ameteur in AABL anyway, may be have a couple of corporate boxing bouts
sparring is not fighting in the ring in front of a crowd including family and friends,

would be looking to find another 40 odd year old that whats to ticket the box as well

seen one of those on a thai show in Far Far North QLD made a good fight between 2 50 year olds

Or can get 1000 bucks for a 10 rounder on some big cards. Maybe over east they will get more per round than in WA.

[Da Voice]

$350 per round is the going rate. Naturally, guys that put bums on seats get more.
A novice over 4x3 would score 1k

3k is the minimum requirement under ANBF rules. However, negotiations between 2 parties is another story. Bums on seats ultimately rule.

Thats pretty harsh. I haven't been paid less than 1000 for a 4 rounder. A boy i took to Kalgoorlie got a fair bit more than that for 4 rounds.

Correct mate, but i believe some of the fighters on the Green undercard was payed 100 per round.

[dberry]

I don't think, in this politically correct world, that age should come in to it, that's blatantly ageist! As for purse, agreeing with most in the know on here, anything from a couple of hundred per round scheduled to $100 a minute scheduled seems par for the cours, more if you take the fight on short notice against the promoter's boy or can move a lot of tables/tickets.

[Brute]

I was in my early 20s when I boxed. I could not have contemplated in starting out in something that hard at 43. By that time I was too old for football.

[Da Voice]

At 43...Golf is the go, followed by Lawn Bowls

[kylamy]

At 43 he'll be pushing his luck to get a licence in NSW. However, he can register in Victoria, which will solve the problem

As usual your wrong again?

He's too old for NSW, Victoria and WA, But just go register up in Queensland, they accept almost anyone up here?? but leave the walking frame out front as you apply, ha-ha.

He should be ok at 43 years old, going on past performance, they will cop anyone, just agree to buy their rules book, pay $20 and your in like flynn

NEXT????

There's no age limit in Victoria....nor is there Standing 8-count, which you frequently insert in Boxrec results.

No need to read it fool, but If you check anyway, there is absolutely nothing in the Victorian rules and regulations that says there is No Standing 8 count

And as a matter of fact, if you join the Qld branch, You must purchase a rule book, Qld rules, not National body rules. Has been for yonks, but you would not know that, cos your not welcome to their meetings and haven't been for many years, ha-ha ha.

Wonder where all the funds go, for the rules books? who knows??

According to Victorian ring officials, there ain't Standing 8 count. You stated that yourself in this forum after Tasmania August 2011 stuff-up.
ANBF National rules are Qld rules - Check the logo at the top. Naturally, I don't attend meetings....I was kicked out 10 years ago just like you last year.

Wrong again Sunshine?

The ANBF rules are Qld rules, only when it suits Qld. No need to check the logo at the top, I know what i am talking about, shame you only pretend to.

If their rules are National Body rules? and they adhere to them, then answer this?

The National uniform is Blue shirt, Black Slacks and shoes OK?

But in Qld, they wear Black shirt ? they're breaking their rules and why? because they get paid by a sponsor to do so,

No Sadsak, Qld run their own race and do what Qld want, whether it's right or wrong

Just FYI, I was never kicked out of the branch, I voluntarily resigned earlier this year, But you, they told you where to go after just one meeting, so that says a lot about you doesn't it.

I recall you sooked and sooked about it, until recently, when you started sucking up to your only 2 mates in the world, who feed you with false info and use you to distribute that info,

Sad thing is, you think they actually like you??? Yeah right, not from what ive heard and seen first hand, come on in spinner?
