Question

About how much money does a professional boxer get if he win on his first fight?

Answer 1

Countee1914 is pretty much right...... it varies with each fighter. There are stories all the time about fighters earning as little as $500-1000 in their very first bouts. That's not saying that all of them get that little in their pro debut. Anyway, many fighters have other means of income to get by on life, since not all are fortunate enough to earn big bucks, like young and early attractions of an Oscar De La Hoya or Floyd Mayweather, just to name a couple.

Answer 2

depends on his promotional contract, and management agreement

Answer 3

Whatever he signed for in his contract, and that doesn't depend on whether he wins or loses.  Win/lose contracts are illegal in most places, and "winner take all" is illegal just about everywhere.  The size of his NEXT payday will be influenced by his first result.  His first payday depends upon who he is and where he's fighting.  If he's some kid who just graduated from high school, with no amateur record, just filling up a card in rural TN, his first contract might be $300.  If he's an Olympic champion making his pro debut in Atlantic City or Vegas, well, $$$$$$$$.

Answer 4

I made $20 for my first one but that was an underground fight (like in the movie Fight Club) and after that I started getting $50 per fight plus tips.
