Very true, I'd say less than 5% of boxers retire to a better life!!

Hard game this is and if you don't believe you can get very far then I wouldn't even bother lacing them on unless you do it for the love of it which is very hard to believe cos getting hit in the face just ain't nice, Add to that dieting for 8 weeks plus sparring,running and everything else!! This is without doubt the HARDEST game in the world bar none!!

Is this a good thing, or where everyone wants to come at you with a knife?

How much would you get for

4x3
6x2
6x3
8x3
10x3
Area title challenge/defence
English title challenge/defence
British title challenege/defence
Commonwealth title challene/defence
European title challenge/ deence

For the 'less rounds bouts' could you include prices for at home (considering you sell a few tickets) and for taking bouts late notice, on another lads show. Also television bouts, boxing the BIG promoters prospects etc. ALos, after you have been paid (whatever amount) how much would you actually walk away with.

I know I'm asking fr alot of info, but any help is appreciated

obviously the top top lads earn different i was only at the bottom level but i would say you would get around

6x2 4x3 £600 to £1500 the lowest i got was £500 the highest was £2500

6x3 8x3 £1200- £6000 i have known boxers get £1000-£5000

area title £1000-£4000 i have known boxers who have eaned both amounts

english= i dont know anyone who has fought for one but i would say £3000-£7000

commonwealth £4000-£10,000 i have known a title holder who in a title defence facing a british title holder only came out with £4000

british= £6000-£25,000 the big boys would get around the top fee sometimes i think and im sure i read magee? got something like the top end aswell. but i would have thought the flyweights e.t.c would get around the bottom figure

european=12,000-25,000

like i said these are mainly just estimates and the real top lads will obviously be on more and the televised shows normally get more aswell but remember this is before managers/trainers fees e.t.c are taken out so even if your say a british title flyweight holder who has 4 fights in a yr. you could probably earn more as a tradesman

Barker is getting £75k for the Macklin defence but thats more down to it being such a big fight than anything else. I would be suprised if he got more than 30k for his British and Commonwealth fights.

If Barker isn't getting more than £30k for his British and Commonwealth title defences then that's down to his promoter

Surley the fact its such a big fight is why FW made such a high bid for a European/British title fight???

£75k for EBU champion is hardly a record breaking amount. Added to the fact that it is British, Commonwealth AND EBU makes it even more realistic.

£75k for Barker £50k for Macklin is very high for a European title in recent years. £125k all together.

ddint Magee and Mads Larsen split a silly amount, much more than that, for the Euro belt?
