Boxing Advisor Amer Abdallah Tells Next Generation to Master the Business Behind the Fight
Amer Abdallah says fighters should verify who pays the purse and demand safeguards before signing international boxing deals.
- On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Global Boxing Advisor Amer Abdallah urged young fighters to scrutinize business details before committing to international bouts.
- Fighters increasingly travel to Saudi Arabia and the UAE for lucrative opportunities as boxing expands globally, yet Abdallah warns they often focus on purse amounts while ignoring funding sources.
- Abdallah advises fighters to watch for vague promoters and shifting purse structures. "If someone can't clearly tell you who is paying the purse and who is organizing the event, that's not a small detail," he says.
- Manufactured urgency is a common tactic, according to Abdallah, who cautions fighters against pressure to sign immediately. "There's a difference between 'we need an answer by Friday' and 'sign tonight or it's gone'," he says.
- Treating due diligence as standard practice is essential, Abdallah explains. "Asking who's behind a deal, how the money moves, and why you need to sign today instead of next week isn't being difficult," he says.
