It just means that there is a lot of money revolving around the boxing industry, and it's definitely a fruitful business if you know how to make your money go round. It's still all about the fame and amount of people you bring in when you are performing. It's a performance as well, just like any other show. If you have the chance to be part of this, it's worth it for sure.
For sure. Boxing has always been about fame and performance industry, similar to football.
What makes it even more of a money grabbing industry is the pain and damage you take after every fight. There's a reason boxers rarely go on after their mid 30s,
and because not many people have the appetite for continuous training, stress injury and constant damage the money only go to the limited few.
What's even more scary is not so much the amount they earn per fight but how little they have left after their boxing career ends. Just because you get lots of
money doesn't make you an expert in personal finance. That's not to say that all boxers end up in this position but there are some who definitely do. It's Crazy.
