Why is ippo so poor? He works a job and is national champion with over 7 defenses. Where the fuck is his money going?

Yagi is embezzling their winnings

A very expensive massage chair.

Doesn't he only get paid in yamato damashii

You should see World Champion in 3 weight classes and undefeated Takamura's apartment.

I think it goes to the gym. Im in a current reread and yagi stated "lets use ippos fight money to fund this party". Ippo didnt have a choice.

what a monster

He gives it all to his momma.
Also national champs don't really earn that much from fight money alone unless you're in a country where boxing is huge. My dad was a national champ like 30 years ago but he's making more money from his gym now than he did with his fight money.

Yagi doesn't fuck around.

in context to op image, ippo has the money, its just in the bank, which is closed, so he had to borrow the cash from his buddies.

Oh shut the fuck up

Regional Champs don't make much although Ippo is on the better side and probably makes enough to live comfortably. Also doubt he gets a Salary from his fishing boat.
Pretty sure in Takamura's case it is by choice.

Did he ever make up with his family? They don't really have a reason to be against his choice to be a boxer now that he's a multi weight world champion and has shown that he won't make a mockery of the family name.

Well, he seems to be in okay terms with his brother now and his sister still comes around to take care of him. They don't give him money but that is also Takamura's choice most likely.

most likely the gym especially since there's no members aside from our main characters there so I think most of the revenue from guys goes to the gym while they also work a Job while takamura chosen to keep living modestly so he live off his world title matches revenue without having to work a Job as well

Takamura was basically a millionaire before the show even started, only now he is so by his own money. His only real expenses are porn videos and a silly bronze statue.

I think he doesn't want to need to have a Job so he spends little so he can focus his entire time to training and his occasional travels

Japan doesn't understand money. News at 11

Average income for a world ranked boxer is like 40k a year.
They dont make shit

That's just how it is user. Nowadays most boxers get most of their money from sponsorships and shit, unless you're at the very top or live in the UK or Mexico you can't really live off of fight money alone.

You only start making big money if you're a world champion and get sponsoring offers alongside the bigger income fights or you get a pay-per-view fight that a lot of people buy. Realistically Ippo would be making good money since his fights are always brawls with a knockout at the end, but that's only if he's promoted well and fights in america instead of japan.
