Most guys in the U.S. cannot afford to train full time, so it is difficult for them to ramp as quickly. It's that rent, heat, car payment, insurance, groceries stuff. However, if you were able to work out six hours a day under the guidance of a professional trainer for six days a week it wouldn't take long. I've seen guys at Fairtex do it by living at the camp and working to support the camp part time while training full time. It's possible in the U.S., but difficult.

Alternatively, in a few camps in Thailand you could train full time for six months on about $3,000.00. That is another route. But you would have to impress the trainers enough to take you on first, and that would take some doing.
