We Get Fighters Paid Boxing & MMA management agency — fights, athlete sponsorship and brand deals.

RING KONG MGMT represents boxers, MMA fighters, Muay Thai athletes, kickboxers and grapplers. We find the fights, land the sponsors, and run the brand deals. Brands come to us for athletes who actually move product.

Work with our athletes

No upfront fee. No long-term lock-in. We earn when you earn.

How it works

One side has talent. The other has budget.

RING KONG MGMT sits between them: we structure the opportunity, put the right two people in the room, and manage the deal until the money lands.

Fighters apply

Two minutes: your name, country, discipline, Instagram and a photo. Your profile goes straight onto the public roster where brands look.

We match

We put you in front of the brand, promotion, campaign or seminar that fits your discipline, your city and the audience you actually hold.

We manage

Terms, deliverables, chasing, invoicing. You train. We handle the part that usually goes wrong.

Turning pro

Getting fights: turning pro and getting into the UFC

The questions every fighter asks before they ask about money. Short, honest answers — the long ones are in the FAQ below.

Turning pro in boxing

A sanctioning-body licence, a clean medical, and a promoter or manager willing to put you on a card. The licence is paperwork. The card is relationships, and that is the part we do.

Getting pro boxing fights

Matchmakers book people they can reach and trust. Being reachable, being ready at short notice and having someone who already has the matchmaker's number is most of it.

Getting into the UFC

A regional record against real opposition, a highlight someone wants to watch twice, and an audience. Nobody walks in off an amateur record. Contender Series and regional promotions are the route.

What it pays

Regional shows pay hundreds. Regional headliners pay low thousands. The money that changes a career is sponsorship and brand work layered on top — which is why we lead with it.

Simple terms

Written down

Scope, term and percentage in writing before anything starts.

Sponsorship

Athlete sponsorship and sponsorship opportunities

Athlete sponsorship is the fastest income a fighter can add, and the one most are worst at chasing. A brand is not buying your record — it is buying whether its audience believes the pairing.

You do not need a million followers to be worth sponsoring. A fighter who genuinely owns one gym, one city or one discipline can outsell an account ten times the size, because the trust is real and the audience is specific.

What we actually look at: activity, professionalism, how you handle a camera, who follows you and where they live, your record, your reliability — and whether a brand in your category would be proud to stand next to you.

Campaigns

Sports influencer marketing for brands

We do not just hand over a list of fighters. Every campaign gets goals, deliverables, usage rights and tracking agreed before anyone films anything.

Athlete sponsorship

Brand presence through training content, fight week, walkouts and kit.

Athlete ambassadors

Long-term partnerships with fighters who genuinely use the product.

UGC & paid content

Video, photo, reviews and tutorials you own and can run as ads.

Affiliate campaigns

Trackable codes and links, reported against real sales.

Gym activations

Local campaigns with fighters, gyms, classes and demo days.

Sponsored seminars

Your brand behind a real training experience, not a post.

Product launches

Fighters carrying a launch to an audience that already trusts them.

Fight-week promotions

Weigh-in, walkout and post-fight content around a live event.

Audience

Athlete marketing and endorsements: who you reach

Athlete partnerships work in combat sports because the audience is unusually loyal and unusually suspicious of anything fake. That cuts both ways, and it is why fit matters more than follower count.

Fight fans

Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and BJJ audiences who follow the sport weekly.

Gym communities

Coaches, training partners, students and fight teams — small, tight and high-trust.

Performance buyers

People who already spend on gear, supplements, recovery, apparel and coaching.

Local or global

A single city, a country, a language, or a whole discipline. Your call.

Fighter application

Everything marked required is what a brand asks for first. The rest helps but will not stop your application.

As you want it shown. Nicknames welcome.
How we reach you. Never shown on the site.
Where you fight out of.
Optional. Helps for local brand campaigns.
Optional, e.g. 12-2-1 or 8-0 amateur.
Full link, e.g. https://www.instagram.com/yourname/
A range, not an exact number — it stays accurate for longer.
Portrait works best. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB. We resize it for you.
We read every application ourselves. If you are not a fit we say so instead of leaving you waiting.

What happens to what you send

Your name, country, city, discipline, record, Instagram, follower range and photo go on the public roster. Your email address does not — it stays in our records so we can reach you, and it is never shown or sold. Your photo is re-saved on our server, which strips the location data your phone attaches to it. Ask us to remove you and everything goes, including the photo file.

Why us

Why RING KONG MGMT

We came from the gear side

RING KONG is a combat sports retailer first. We know the brands, the buyers, the margins and who actually signs off on a sponsorship budget — because we have been on the other side of that email.

A product ecosystem behind you

Gear, apparel, affiliate structures and campaigns already exist here. A fighter on this roster plugs into something running, not a pitch deck.

ROI-first campaigns

Reach, content, traffic, affiliate sales, conversions. If a campaign cannot be measured, we will say so before the brand finds out the hard way.

Short roster on purpose

Attention does not divide. We take few athletes so the ones we take get answered the same day.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

For fighters

How much do boxers make per fight?
On small regional shows in Mexico and the US, a four-round professional typically earns a few hundred dollars a fight, sometimes less once expenses come out. A regional headliner is low thousands. Televised undercards move into the tens of thousands. The purse alone rarely builds a living — sponsorship and brand work layered on top is what does.
How much do boxers make?
Almost all of them, far less than the public assumes. Outside the handful of names on pay-per-view, the overwhelming majority of professional boxers earn under 20,000 USD a year from purses and hold another job. That gap between public perception and reality is precisely the gap we work in.
How much do boxers make a year?
A busy regional professional fighting three or four times a year is usually looking at a few thousand dollars in purses. Add sponsorship, gear deals, seminars, paid content and affiliate income and the same fighter can multiply that without taking a single extra fight.
How do boxers get paid?
The promoter pays the purse after the event, usually within 30 days, minus sanctioning fees, licence costs and the cuts owed to the manager, trainer and cornermen. Sponsorship and brand deals are paid separately and directly, which is why they are worth structuring properly.
How do you become a professional boxer?
You need an amateur base, a licence from the commission or sanctioning body in your region, a current medical including bloodwork and an eye exam, and a promoter or manager willing to put you on a card. The licence is paperwork. Getting on the card is relationships.
How do you turn pro in boxing?
Apply to your local commission for a professional licence, pass the medicals, and have a manager or promoter who can place you in a four-round debut against the right opponent. Turning pro too early against the wrong opponent costs more careers than turning pro too late.
How do you get pro boxing fights?
Matchmakers book fighters they can reach, trust and rely on at short notice. That means being licensed and medically current, being in shape between camps, and having someone representing you who already talks to those matchmakers. The last part is the job we do.
How do you get into the UFC?
Build a professional record against real opposition on regional promotions, win in a way people want to rewatch, and bring an audience. The realistic routes are Dana White's Contender Series, a strong regional title run, or a short-notice call-up. Nobody is signed off an amateur record alone.
How do you get sponsored as an athlete?
Stop asking for money and start offering something a brand can use: content it can run as an ad, an audience that matches its buyers, and reliable delivery. A fighter with 4,000 engaged local followers and clean content gets sponsored ahead of one with 80,000 passive ones. We build and pitch that case for the athletes on our roster.
What does a boxing manager do?
A manager runs the business side of a fighting career: negotiating purses and contract terms, choosing opponents and timing, handling the promoter relationship, and finding sponsorship and brand income. A manager is not a trainer and is not a promoter — a promoter stages the event, a manager works for the fighter.
What percentage does a boxing manager take, and how much do boxing managers make?
Industry standard is 15% to 33% of a fighter's earnings, and several commissions cap it at 33%. RING KONG MGMT takes 20%, only on opportunities we secure and manage. If we bring you nothing, we are owed nothing.
Can you guarantee fights or sponsors?
No, and anyone who does is lying to you. Promoters book fights, brands sign sponsorships, and neither answers to us. What we can do is make sure the right people know who you are and that the offer in front of you is a fair one.
Can I apply if I already have a coach, gym or manager?
Yes. We work alongside existing teams all the time, and the agreement names exactly which areas we handle. If you already have someone doing a good job on fight bookings and just need the commercial side, that is a normal arrangement here.
Can fighters outside Mexico apply?
Yes. We are based in Mexico City and work across Mexico, the United States, Latin America and further out. Applications from anywhere are read.

For brands

How do you sponsor an athlete?
Tell us the goal, the market and the budget range. We shortlist athletes whose audience matches your buyers, agree deliverables and usage rights in writing, and run the campaign against tracked outcomes. One contract with us covers the athletes on our roster rather than a separate agreement with each one.
What kind of brands work with fighters?
Fight gear, apparel, supplements, nutrition, recovery, gyms, events, media, apps, local service businesses and performance brands. Combat sports audiences buy physical product at an unusually high rate, which is why gear and supplement brands see the best return.
What does boxing sponsorship actually cost?
It scales with reach, exclusivity, term and usage rights far more than with follower count. A local gym activation with a micro-audience fighter can start in the low hundreds of dollars; a national campaign with a named athlete and broadcast exposure runs into five figures. We quote against your brief, not a rate card.
Can campaigns be tracked?
Yes, and we insist on it. Discount codes, affiliate links, UTM traffic, lead and sale tracking, and a report at the end. If a campaign has no measurable outcome attached, we will tell you before you spend the money.
Can we sponsor one fighter or several?
Either. Brands often start with one athlete as a test, then widen to a group filtered by discipline, city or audience size once the numbers come back.
Do you help with campaign strategy?
Yes. Athlete selection, offer structure, deliverables, content direction, disclosure requirements, tracking and reporting. Most briefs arrive as 'we want a fighter' and leave as something considerably more specific.
Can brands work with local fighters only?
Yes, and for gyms, clinics, restaurants, recovery centres and regional retailers it is usually the better buy. A fighter who genuinely owns one city converts far better there than a national name passing through.
