As a upcoming prospect now, unable to sell much tickets, should one be signing with a promoter like Goodwin who requires you to sell an average of 60 tickets to BREAK EVEN. Which is madness, many fighters have their fights cancelled due to the lack of tickets that they sell. This money of course goes out to pay the opponent (Journeyman cost roughly £1200) and other boxing costs. However, as a UK fighter what stops me from fighting abroad like in countries with cheaper opponents such as Hungary, Latvia in Europe and Egypt, Tanzania and Ghana in Africa etc. How much do the journeyman cost over there ? Anyone have a clue. The pro game seems to be literally nothing more but a business and I want to have a clue as to what im entering as I have been an amateur for a while
I hear what you are saying but at the same time you have to see it as an investment. So to break even the minim you ought to do is invite friends, family, local comminity and all that type of thing. It's never going to be easy.
