How many times does one need to train per week in order to fight in muay thai? And how many times to spar per week?

Feel free to put in additional details for a schedule of a person with an upcoming fight.
 
It really depends on what level... Pro fighters run and train 2 times a day 6 days a week
 
This question is waaaaay too "open"...

How about starting with amateur competiton/tournaments where we wear headgear and shinguards. And working up to amateur ring fights with full 3-2minute rounds with no gear except gloves?

At least 5 times a week
 
I was wondering this too. I have my first smoker coming up and I wonder how often I should be running/sprinting.

I try to go as much as possible however it can ve difficult to find the time between working and training at my gym. I just really don't want to gas out.
 
Depends on your capabilities.

I'm a regular joe and trained 6 days a week, twice a day 4 of those days. I'm a bit more intermediate and do well sparring once a week. To me, sparring is a session to test out what I've been drilling and working on throughout the week. Once in awhile, I spar to "win", thats maybe once a month or every 3 weeks. When I'm in camp its usually:

M-4-5km run / sparring + drills/clinch work
T-4-5km run / clinch/drills/padwork
W-4-5km run / padwork + clinch/drills
T-4-5km run / clinch/drills/padwork
F-
S-531a (lifting) / 3km run (if I'm able to)
S-531b(lifting)/ 3km run (if I'm able to)

I work 9-5, so the running is early (6:30-7am), and skillwork is in the evening (6-9pm).

If you're a pro with no job except for fighting, I'd expect training 3 times daily.
