The fact is it is very rare you get three months notice for a fight when you start out as a pro. That is not realistic. You gotta do what you gotta do to get fights.

As a beginning pro no one will pay your licensing fees. Don't expect them to. Not realistic. Maybe a short notice fight out of your state they will do something to help you. Otherwise you pay all fees to get your license & don't expect anything else.

Paid sparring is not realistic for new pros who don't make any money in the first place. Getting sparring with good pros can be a great benefit so why would you be an ass about it if you need that experience?

Vegas & L.A. & New York may have lots of opportunities & there may be sparring available if you want it. However everywhere else it is a whole different story.
