Hi Jamie
This is a personal question I know so no obligation to answer, but I was curious how big the purses are you fight for. Is the prize money worth the sacrifices and as you get older-the risks?

Re: Hi Jamie
you talking about over here? in cambodia purses are about $75-100, and definitely not worth it (for the money) it costs me more in gym fees and travel costs training for it, it does keep me out the bars though which helps save my money and health, but boxing is a lonely sport, it requries a lot of sacrafices, you cant play boxingruralvoice wrote:This is a personal question I know so no obligation to answer, but I was curious how big the purses are you fight for.

my mate is fighting in Thailand this weekend in Chiang Mai and says his purse is about $80, i was under the impression the pay was better over there, i got told barangs got 10,000bht for a fight, hes recently been over in China fighting and says he was getting $1000 a fight which is much more reasonable

Quite depressing, but it's the only game in town. Good luck to you.

Re: Hi Jamie
Hard to believe the lady massaging your bruised body or the nurse bandaging up you wounds makes more money from your fight than you do.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Does the loser get anything, or is that only for the winner?

Why ask the question after I have given the answer ?

Re: Hi Jamie
the purse is set, win or lose, the purse is small, the fighters earn most their money by putting on a good show and winning then going into the crowd collecting tips off the crowd, i was at a kickboxing show the other month,General Mackevili wrote:Does the loser get anything, or is that only for the winner?
this Khmer guy beat a Thai guy, it was announced after the fight that there was 10 government officials there and they all gave the winner $100 tip each, and then the fighter went out into the crowd and i saw people handing over $10s and $20s to him, he must have earned a good $3-4k from that fight, he was in the crowd for a bout 2 hours collecting tips it was mad,
cant see barangs getting the same treatment though

Re: Hi Jamie
setup a fight between thai n khmer, make some kind of drama, khmer wins dramatically, then goes into collect tips, and split the tips back stage.
