    high level amateurs i.e olympians receive a stipend

    basically its supposed to be for their food, travels etc but they receives way wayy more than they need.

    The Irish amateurs who box for the country get paid some get 80,000 Euro a year along with sponsership .

    Katie Taylor is one of the best paid sports women in Ireland as she gets paid by Irish sports council, sponsord by businessmen Dennis O'Brien, she done a Lucozade ad and is on a grant from Skysports.

    No, he's Cuban, they don't make ****.

    I think it was about Gamboa i read, when he won an Olympic medal, they allowed him to have a telephone in his house.

    Well hes in a communist country.

    He basically gets looked after by the government.

    Considering its Cuba, he probably gets a delapidated house and a 1965 Skoda.

    "In the red corner" is a good book on amateur boxing in Cuba.
