can you make a living just being a sparring partner?

good sparring partners can even win world titles... just ask Corrie Sanders

 

No. You'd make more money working full time at McD's. Of course, there might be 5-6 guys who are exceptions, because they're the favourites of stars like Pacquiao, who will buy you a house as a wedding gift, but even that was a gift, it wasn't pay for sparring.

Just to put it into perspective. Even someone like Manfredo Jr. had to have a second job, because he couldn't make a living out of boxing.

I don't think there is one sparring partner who isn't also a pro who doesn't have a second job.
Sparring partners are all would-be pros, or pros who are waiting for their next big fight, or pros who are past their best and never getting the big fights again.

 

most sparring partners would be lucky to get one of those fighters

 

Ask vanes.

 

I just wanted to add that Pac didn't even pay for his whole crib. He gave him the downpayment which was $10k if I remember correctly. And the reason Manfredo Jr. had to get back to work was because he lost almost all of his money in poor real estate investments.

 

Thanks.:good

So, do you think Manfredo made enough to be able to retire on (had he not made bad investments)?
