When training for a fight, on average how long does a pro have to train before the fight date? i'm thinking somewhere around 6-8 weeks+. does anyone know?

generally thats how long they will train for, its not always all they have but if you go in a training camp for to long you risk a burn out.

Some guys take fights on a days notice, in terms of time spent training as opposed to being on a job etc the bottom end of the pro game isn't all that different to amatuer boxing.

ye cus in amatuer u just train for a fight the same way u do all yr round unless u feel u wanna put in a bit of extra graft to be fitter for the fight

so the best thing to do is stay in shape year round (like Salthebutcher said)

As an amatuer you box regularaly through a season. your best bet is to train really hard during the summer off season (take a rest after the season to get your body ready for this) then tone it down a few weeks before the season. after that just keep active in teh gym so your always ready to go.

you gotta plan your year, the training I did last yer is affecting what I can do this year.
