    Been wondering about this, how do all the normal fighters turn pro ( when I say normal I mean, the ones who don't win medals at the Olympics, aba's for example). If ur at a normal amateur gym and u wanna turn pro, do get in contact with a local promoter? If so do u need to pay for a medical? Get insurance? With the big names all that us taking care of.

    Could you sell tickets? Are you a popular Mofo? are you willing to wear the football jersey of a team you dont support in order to ingratiate yourself to mongs?

    When you get a boxing license do you get a version for your wallet? Like a driving license?
