Question
Thanx for your advice it was really helpful. What would the pay days range from no amateur experience to a golden glove national champ.
In the beginning, you would make between 500 to 800 a fight as a no name guy.
A GG champ might make 1000 to 2500 per fight. But it jumps faster for the GG guy.
If both guys got to 10-0, the no name guy would still be making about the same. The GG guy might be making up to 10,000 a fight.
There are lots of variables I'm not throwing in that can change that. Like if the no name guy was 10-0 with 10 KO's he will make a little more but still not more than the GG guy. That's just an example.
good luck

I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
