You cant really make a living out of it. To get into K1 in Japan you will have to qualify in your home country which is hard as you have to be very good.
Doing it in Thaiand you can make enough to get by, in Thailand, its peanuts in terms of UK money though.
Regarding matching fighters.
Alot of it is guess work, the trainers know each other and you match fighters by their fight record.
Promoter puts on a show, contacts the trainers, the trainers say they have whatever fighters with whatever record at whatever weight and fighters are matched from the pool that emerges. That makes the nights fights.

You wont make a living from it, not in a million years because no one can, there isnt enough money in it. If you want to make money from it you must teach it.
