boxing, amateur or professional?

[AAAgent]

My whole life i've always been into competition and hardwork/training for sports.

At my best i was 11th in the nation in swimming.

My freshman year in college i began training for boxing for the amateurs for about 3 months but i ended up quiting because oh my private coach and i never had any sparring and rarely saw my coach.

i like competition and challenges, and i wanted to fight and win atleast one amateur match or one pro match.

i'm sure most people would say start off in amateur then go to pro but you can actually start off in either one you want. Just going through amateurs gives you more experience.

I personally think the pro's would be more thrilling and i'm not sure if u get paid for fighting pro's early on?

Anyone know the details on fights and purses that are won for pro's?

the gym i am going to train at is 20 for amateur and 30 for pro.

I know guys who turned pro in mma just because the few hundred bucks that it paid was attractive. I think they all regret the decision. As I told a friend of mine, I'd rather kick ass for free than get paid to get my ass kicked.

True. My mma club president at school is now a pro in mma and hasn't taken any fights, he didn't do that good as an amateur. The boxing club at my school sucks, they feed the newbs to the vets right away so they just get beat up from the start.

Look into www.rossboxing.com there are some stories on there of guys experiences as amateurs and professionals as well as training tutorials.
