Jamie Mitchell

Shows the shite women’s boxing is.

 

A 40yo on her 6th fight or something becoming world champion.

The absolute top level fights are good, better with 3 mins but take a little step below that and it's total nonsense. Like Sandy Ryan is ranked #2 in the world on boxrec

 

Thanks for sharing and keeping us updated.

 

It is your business.

 

Well done to Nina, didn't realise she was 40 wow. Tbf think Mitchell is round about the same age. Mitchell also smashed the other British girl up in her 1st defence, forgot her name, she's from Liverpool and she's southpaw

 

Does anyone here know what they get paid? I'd like to know

 

A journeyman would get a purse just the same as any fighter. In fact the journeymen are in such a strong position atm that they are getting paid more than most of the home fighters on the small halls and only the ones in t.v contracts are getting paid more than them and even then they will sometimes get ore than the undercard fighters, it all depends on how important they are at that particular time which will then quantify how much leverage they have.
The British journeyman is in big demand atm as there isn't enough of them.
You're understanding and opinion of a journey man seems a bit narrow and uninformed mate.

 

I thought Eastenders killed Jamie Mitchell off

 

Sonia was fairly punching with him

 

Can see Big Mo getting in the ring and doing a number on Ebanie in the Battle of the Bleach

 

Slightly off thread but regarding the point about journey men pay how much is it? About £1000? I've enjoyed watching Poochi winning recently, must have shocked a few fighters thinking **** he's not reading the script.

 

It's like any other buisness, your asking price will depend on how much in demand u are.
But as a basic start, a JM with plenty of notice booked in advance against an average opponent, on a small hall, will get about £1300 for 4x3s, that's the purse, plus overheads for travel, if its over say 70mile. And money for overnight accommodation if needed.
Other than that the JM has leverage over short notice, opponent been really good or a banger, weight discrepancies and straight up desperation from a promoter/matchmaker.
JM will also get more on TV shows and ibvoously for more rounds.
The British JM are in big demand atm and in general have good leverage simply because they're in short supply.
The JM plays an important role in the UK Pro Boxing model and the opinion that they "come to lose" is incorrect.
No JM comes to lose, they have a job description and tally that with the fact that they usually work a full time job may also be married with kids and they are out maybe every week or other week tips the scales in favour of the home fighter who will do a 3 month camp specifically for that JM. They have a boxing coach, a S&C coach, a performance director, physiotherapist, sport masseur, nutritionist etc etc then u can see how the scales are tipped. On top of that the JM may be booked the week after and any cut or ko will result in them losing that fight and purse. Its now easy to imagine the contrast in how much desire a JM brings to each fight but as has been witnessed recently with men like Poochy and Karl Sampson if they are in a position or frame of mind to come and "put it on u" you could be in big trouble.

 

Journeyman Chisora the exception to the rule with millions and millions of PPV Loot banked.
