Pat Barry and the Hardscrabble Road To Making 19,142.85 A Year As A Fighter

People think it took seven-and-a-half minutes to make all this money. It took seven years to make this. This wasn’t seven-and-a-half minutes of work. This is seven years straight — no family, not around my friends, not married, I got no kids. It’s just me on the grind, chasing the dream. It took seven years to finally make a payday. A lot of people, what they don’t know is that us fighters, the majority of us don’t make the money that the world perceives us to be making. YouTube doesn’t pay anything. They think just because you’re on YouTube, you’re rich. We might make decent money, but what it costs for us to be prepared and to be ready, it really does kill a large portion of what we bring in for fights.”
