Is a 3 year contract with a boxing promoter good business practice by the promoter or is this fishy to boxers?
I am up-and-coming. No amateur record. 24 years old, middleweight-ish, and considering of turning pro once I get my sparring done and see where I stand. From my point of view, too much amateur and sparring can hurt you in the long run. Minimalism is the way to go. If you get hit, get hit in an actual boxing match. So I was training at this gym and found out that the promoter who owns and runs it offers pro-boxers a 3 year contract. 3 years seem a long time to me. What if this deal is junk? Any pros in here knows if 3 years is standard or is this overboard?
