    Depends. 10-20 minutes, sometimes more. Just do that for baseline fitness; sprints and bag drills make up the rest.

    I've been told build the base of cardiovascular endurnace then develop your anaerobic endurance then move on to sport specific drills such as bag drills pad drills etc

    Depends on the fighter. Even among world champions there are big differences - some run 3 or 4 miles, some go much further, some mix in sprint workouts on alternate days. Nigel Benn did big mileage (for a boxer) - 12 miles a day or more, in the hills.

    4 - 6 miles seems to be most common, as far as I can tell.

    I try to do 4 - 6 miles a couple of times during the week, with one slightly longer run (8 or 9 miles) on the weekend. I used to do more but my knees can't handle it any more.

    depends
    30 minutes can be enough if your running at the right intensity. You should be running 3 miles in that amount of time

    Why do people run for such long distances? From what I understand, you only want to build an aerobic base then build up intensity to HIIT training, (which resembles the faster pace of boxing) while maintaining good aerobic capacity. I can't see how running more then 3-4 miles will help, it'll make you a good runner, but won't help much with a sport that's thought to be 80% anaerobic.
