phil's Bio

Watch out other sports boxing is on the comeback. Mayweather makes his long anticipated return, July 18th 2009! When boxing is shown on all channels in about 10 years. I will say i supported it from the start. Between 2020-2030 i plan on commentating or scoring boxing when it will be shown on nbc, abc, or cbs. My fingers are crossed.

Its time to finally come clean, Im not a Yankee fan, I only play one on TV and in reality Im a Die Hard Mets fan who is very frustrated with everything surrounding this franchise right now. Then again, its ok cause they're BATTLING every night, right? Wrong and below is my article on the reasons why. Thanks in advance.

Nobody on B/R gets paid. But this is a great resource for getting your name out there and eventually landing a paying gig somewhere else.

There are a number of writers who started on B/R getting paid to write elsewhere, myself included...

Thanks,

Hey once again, just to make sure, I wasn't trying to be hostile or aggressive with you on your comment to MMA: Ko'd boxing. Like you, I just got defensive when someone says something inaccurate about the sport I love. So I hope you don't take my reply in any other way.

I saw your question on someone elses' board.

To answer it, no you don't get paid if your article is on CBSSports or Fox, or anything like that.
I had an article published on the front page of CBS, and nothing happened. It's more of a pride thing. The reason they do that is because CBS and B/R are affiliates.

That's cool. I became a scribe after I had written 9 articles or so, which took me a little over two weeks. And no, I'm really not sure if anyone gets paid on Bleacher Report - not that I know of, but I know that a lot of good writers here get journalism opportunities.
