how do you become a pro?

[Tam Seddon]

i am not sure what you have to do and how can you become one

[AdamGB]

1) learn to box
2) Start to Compete as an amatuer

(there is really no 3,4 or 5, you'll find out about promoters and stuff as you get good enough to turn Pro)

Don't worry about Running if you can't even Walk yet...

[Clint]

Does competing as an amateur pay very much?

[alex w]

youll need a pro card. this is an official document saying youv payed the money needed, completed a full medical examination, and are now liscenced to box.
youll need a promotor, somone who tried to get you fight slots in events so you can be paid. youll need a full time trainer, a cut man and a second who can come with you to competition.

amatuer pays nothing.

[Clint]

ah, shit.

[iceman]

that's not entirely ture alex, but what yoou can get is still basically nothing

[AdamGB]

right, you can't legally be payed. Maybe you can get sponorships etc like Armir Khan but you get no purse.

[Clint]

how many victories does it take to turn pro?

[Nothing 2 Lose]

Chances are you may never become pro. But thats just my opinion. Good luck to ya.

[Clint]

[Nothing 2 Lose]

How longs a peice of string?

To damn long.

[Rakkassan]

is turning pro something you decide to do, like "i think i'm ready, i'm gonna go pro". or is it something where someone comes to you or there has to be an opportunity?

[hitmanhatton]

ah, S***.

if ur only it for the money its a waste of time mate u need the determination to succeed i dont think money is a big enuff movitaer in boxing
