What does this mean ? - I assume it means that you wil get a purse, and will also sell x amount of tickets for a fight on a show that is local to where you live.

For this your opponent will be a boxer who turns up and gets a purse but does not need to sell tickets ? - the inference being that the home boxer will have the various advantages ?

Roughly how many tickets would you need to sell in order to get this "advantage" ?

Ps - serious question, just trying to understand how the sport actually operates at this level.

ha yer dnt think woods wud be interested.....after he stopped laughing ha

Pay for your fight is a minimum requirement to most promoters.

I know a guy who was asked to sell a minimum of 60 tickets at 8 days notice just a few weeks ago .

He sold 54 and therfor didnt get paid , the alternative was that the fight was pulled and he didnt want to let his travelling support down so boxed for free , in my view it shouldnt be allowed to happen because its a dangerous sport , asking people to risk their health for free is a joke .

The promoters who do this know im talking about them , they are a disgrace .

some sort of minimum wage should be brought in .

Maybe tell the boxers if they dont sell enough tickets that they should have their pay halved , not ideal i know but better .

I understand promoters have costs to cover but they arent putting anything more than money at stake , the boxer is risking a lot more .
