Question
Do amateur officials registered with USA Boxing get paid or is it done on a volunteer basis?  Any idea on what the pay is if they are compensated?

Answer
USA Boxing, Inc. is strictly an all volunteer organization.  There is no compensation for officiating.  However, you can write off any costs incurred on your taxes.  If you would like more information about becoming an official, please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com.
