I've been trained to box by my father since I was 7 and my father used to be a professional boxer. So I'm twenty and just figured why don't I give professional boxing a shot
I wanna do this because I think it's my only way to acquire fuck you money and pursue my dream of opening a cartooning studio. Considering I got the genetics and upbringing, I might have a shot at this
I wanted to ask you /Asp/ies what should I expect. How many amateur matches will I have to win before going pro, is getting endorsements necessary, how long on average does this take?
You might make it.
You might not make it.
Most people don't make it.
Some people do make it.
Some people have what it takes to make it.
Some people don't have what it takes to make it.
Some people can acquire what it takes to make it.
Some people can't acquire what it takes to make it.
Do you have the dedication to make it?
Even if you could make it,
would your circumstances allow it?
You have to start from the lowest, look for a boxing gym that book local fights and star making a name from yourself locally, you will probably never get out of local fights but money is money
Why would you willingly give yourself almost guaranteed brain damage? Because that's what's going to happen.

same brain damage happens when you drink and smoke weed,
might as well do something that gets you fit, dominates others and is fun.

Do it bro I got heavy into martial arts since I was 16 and loved all almost all forms of striking/pugilism. Going into boxing now it's amazing and I'm going to be 30 in July. Now that I'm training I forget regret not getting into it earlier. Take advantage of your age now and do everything to make it happen. Related how far can an old fag like me get? Just starting sparring after a month of being in my gym. I know I'm late to the party but want to try to AT LEAST get to be an amateur.
You are going to end up with no money and brain damage.

No it doesn't.

My brain asplode from this retardation

>but want to try to AT LEAST get to be an amateur.
Without a doubt you can make that happen.
>>1302011
Well I say at least because of course if want to go pro or beyond but I feel like I have to whisper b that given my age and lack of experience
>>1301317
>would your circumstances allow it?
What circumstances would disallow it
>>1301331
I've had 3 concussion within the total of my life so already brain damage might as well make a job of it. If I ever wanna get more brain cells I'll take some psylocibin.
>>1301324
This is disheartening, do you have any advice for making a name for myself?
>>1302001
thank you boxbro, I'm shooting to the stars with this. I know its going to take tremendous dedication but all my hopes and dreams ride on it so I'm just gonna go for it.
>>1302004
I don't give a fuck, if I can't acquire the money to fund my dreams I'd rather die.
