Pricing for sparring!

2k per week plus room and board sounds ok to me, how many rounds will they actually do?

its not a good living on its own tho you are right

On its own, even if you only did 6 months a year thats £54,000 a year! More than most tradesmen get for a whole year!

If you get 2k a week for 20 weeks a year, and for those 20 weeks you have no rent or expenses, it aint to shabby

Its a good living. Especially for old pros who know how to defend. I imagine Kevin Johnson can make as much in a year just sparring as some top ranked fighters can fighting.

In fact, look at someone like Tyson Fury. How much has he had to spend over the last 18 months on camps and paying people like Johnson to spar him. Someone like Johnson on the other hand get to travel the world spending someone else's money while getting paid handsomely and not having any weight of expectation on their shoulders.

Hard way to make a living. So much repeated brain trauma for so little money.

Not for good sparring partners. Those old pros who are used to build a prospects career, the ones who don't get stopped, who know how to survive and look after themselves. They probably only continue fighting to stay relevant on the sparring scene and obviously earn some more cash but if they really do get £2000 a week, this is probably more than they get for most of their fights.
