Sorry for a generic answer, but it is the right one:

It all depends on the individual. When you are ready, you and your coach/manager will know it and you can start getting into fights and promotions.

My advice is to start out doing small pankration/no gi grappling tourmaments while you are training. This will help you prepare for NHB fights.

Amatuer fighters usually don’t make much at all, it depends on the organizer,…maybe 500, or a 1000. depends….but you better win your first fight.

i had my first smoker fight ( in house fight) a year and a half into my training. i trained 4 to 5 days a week and two times a day, its a lot of work but worth it. just listen to your coach and train your **** off, let them tell you when your ready but tell them you do want to compete.
i hope that helps
