For a long long time every boxer works for free. A lot of hours with no guarantee of any return.
Absolutely true, but the main motivation has to be the money commodity, or else there has to be questions asked as to weather the fighter is suitable to participate in such a ruthless capitalist environment.
It starts with love, and that blossoms into the dream down the road.

Yes, and the dream happens when the money is right for all parties, hence the need for the pro fighter to be smart on the matter, and have it as a primary concern, because every third party involved in the fighter's 'dream' will.
