thanks

in some orgs. amateurs get payed commission as ticket salesman. THey may get 10 % of the tickets they sell.

amateur by definition means not paid... professional by definition means paid...

Two of my amateur fights got me a total of $300.00. A lot of promotions pay you under the table. It all depends on who you fight for.

Welcome to the world of professional MMA.

To reiterate, you don't get paid to fight as an amateur. If you do get paid under teh table, then it's illegal like any other under the table payment. The thing about getting a percentage of the gate isn't true. If that ever happened, the promoter would be in pretty big trouble.
