is there any positive for female boxers to turn pro?

[Sportofkings]

that says it all, fight for a world title in only a few fights??? the standard is shocking, stay amatuer,take the funding and other deals and perks, no way wud she make millions as a pro

You do realise what kind of support Taylor gets? She can draw 10000 people to her amateur fights alone.

where has she boxed and sold 10000 tickets??

Thousands of her fans bought tickets for her fights in the olympics.

Shes probably the most famous and well supported womens boxer in the world at this stage. She could sell loads of tickets for world title fights in her own country. Eddie Hearn is looking to get involved with her and reckons she could make big money. Even Holly Holm current female pro in the world has expressed an interest in fighting her.

This does not equate to her making millions as a pro.

In the women's game, if Taylor were to turn pro, she would probably have no choice but to fight the best in the weight division within 3 fights, given there's so few women fighters out there, and even then that person may not take the fight if Taylor's amateur hype didn't convert to pro dollars. For the first two fights she would have to be on the undercard of some big fight in the US and get paid journey(wo)man figures. For the title fight she might be paid some 5 figure sum. Then what? Defend? Against who? Where? If she was bowling over stiffs and novices in Ireland they would need to get a decent card together to support it.

The women's game is not set up for fighters to make millions.

agree with you ther

No money turning pro in this country, would have to Germany and beat one of their girls on a big card to get your name known. In the UK theres more money and fights on the semi pro scene than licensed.
