Question
Hi. i am 12 years old and i have been boxing for a couple of months, however, i have not been entered into comps yet. However my coach thinks i have real potential too become a professional boxer too make millions. But, how many kids make it that far?
Probably 1% of all the elite amateur boxers ever make "millions." And that's only if they are part of the 1% of the pros who make that kind of money. It would be very helpful if you win national and international competitions and even make the Olympic team.
