This stuff's surely going to pay off for us in the pros in the next 10 years or so. Hopefully it'll prove that what happened in London, as far as our boxers go, wasn't a one off too.

Not when none of them turn pro as the money's too good.

Say whaaaaaa? I thought it was all being spent grass roots stylee?

Olympic boxers this year got something along the lines of £70K a year prior To the Olympics, not bad when you're supposed to be amateur

Most of the top British amateurs at this level are earning more than many British champions in terms of take home pay.

It won't necessarily pay off in the pros as many will hang around just like all the best Olympians did this year. Also with WSB taking off and then the planned AIBA pro its most likely that we will get division-ed boxing like MMA with different sanctioning bodies holding all in house fights.

I wouldn't be surprised if down the line we get Top Rank and GBP holding their own sanctions whereby you have to sign up for their promotion to fight for their championship. i think the whole multi champion, multi-weight shit will get worse before it gets better.

Sounds like their is a lot of money in the WSB as well. Was just reading Kal Yafai saying how good it is in Boxing Monthly.

This is what worries me its confusing enough that there are so many weights and titles now we may have different pro organisations altogether just to dilute things even further. So we will have amateur boxing, WSB which is a kind of quasi pro boxing, the the AIBA pro boxing then proper pro boxing, on top of that all different white collar etc just make it so confusing its not good and will end in tears.

Hopefully they send out a strong squad to Rio, if they did shit in 2016 would the funding be cut? so does all this money go the GB squad training camp in Sheffield then
