Question
my question is how do pro boxers get paid for there fights. how does the process of receving their money go?

Answer
Hi Marcus,
Thanks for the question.
Pro boxers get paid by the promoter of their bouts. Usually the amount is agreed upon in advance, and a check in that amount is presented to the boxer (or his or her manager) after the bout. That's the standard procedure, but in some cases, it may differ (particularly in when and how the payment is made).

I hope this helps, Marcus.

Thanks again for writing.

Regards,
Lian
