I am 6'4" , 285lbs and very powerful and athletic from san diego by way of texas. I am really thinking about getting into boxing. My problem isnt ability or attitude, its the fact that I have a family to take of and unemployed and we are struggling to eat and have to rely on my family for help. So I want to get a job, but get this I have been accepted to go to a boxing try-out in LA that is being put together by Michael King and one of the trainers is Pepe Correa, im pretty you know who they are, and they will be paying for everything. Im just having a hard time making this big decision and its coming up on Sept. 16 and feel like I can't wait on something that isnt guaranteed.

Size don't mean shiit if you can't fight. Can you fight?
You saying your thinking about getting into boxing tells me you don't have any experience, yeah maybe you know how to fight but you don't know how to box and you've never trained before. Those dudes at the try-out are gonna know what their doing and would prob f you up, especially since you'd be fighting heavyweight. But hey it's not my place to tell you not to go so try it and see how it goes, but I'll garantee you won't make any money out of it lol.

No I dont have any experience, but it just a try-out to get in their training academy so they will be teaching me everything I need to know and they will be paying for housing, food, and transportation. Also a little money to put in my pocket
Then by all means try it, just know there will be lots of talented fighters there trying to get into their program. Just because its a try-out to get into the training acadamy doesn't mean that the guys trying out haven't been trained already and are just looking to get better training in a more prestigious program. You better start running your ass off and get some of the basics down bfore you show up there not knowing anything.
