Not knowing all that much about what the average purse is for a fighter just by taking into account what your expenses would add up to it makes sense to think their are only a handful of fighters who would earn good money at boxing. Plus you have to think about all of the time a fighter spends preparing with the long hard workouts that he is not getting paid for.
