Getting fights: turning pro and getting into the UFC

The questions every athlete 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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
What does a sports agent do?
A sports agent represents the athlete's commercial interests: finding and negotiating opportunities, handling the people on the other side of the table, and protecting terms the athlete would not think to ask about. In combat sports the same person often handles both bookings and sponsorship, which is what we do.
How much does a sports agent make?
Commission on what the athlete earns, typically 10% to 20% on endorsements and 15% to 33% in boxing, where several commissions cap it at 33%. RING KONG MGMT takes 20%, only on what we secure and manage.
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 athletes outside Mexico apply?
Yes. We work out of Mexico City, but we do not only represent Mexican athletes and we do not only work with Mexican brands — the roster and the campaigns are global. Every application is read, wherever it comes from. What changes by country is which brands fit and what fees and permits apply, and that gets discussed before anything is signed.

Athletes get paid. Brands grow.

Apply to the roster, or tell us what your brand is trying to do and which athletes you want in front of.
