An average yearly salary for a middle weight boxer?

[arampetr]

Does anyone know what is an average yearly salary for a middle weight boxer?

Depends a lot on how good you are. For every guy making millions of dollars there are thousands making very little. Remember, don't quit your day job.

Well I do not work at the moment. So I can't quit my day job. But very little is how much? $1000-$5000 per fight? I dont know alot about boxing. How many fights a year does a new boxer box? How much does he start off? If he is really good how much can a new fighter make per fight after one year? I want to know I have no clue. Please help me understand all of this. Thank for your reply Canvasback.

Thanks again

I think out of the amateurs only the decent looking fighters or better make 5000+ in their fight, but the pay raise for the best is very steep, and if they fall its a long way down, but an average fighter I would be suprised if they made more than 60,000$ a year... and thats a pretty good average fighter at that... I know Corley was made like 125000 against Mayweather, and he was a world champion who gave Judah a tought fight already.
