In my view, boxing and MMA and all other similar sports are making violence acceptable and makes people think there is something admirable about physically hurting another human being. Violence is despicable (albeit sometimes necessary, just like war) but should never be seen as entertainment or something "cool".
Humans are fascinated with certain forms of violence, though. It's in our DNA. The popularity of action movies, horror/slasher movies, violent video games, etc. supports this. Boxing and MMA are no different.
So F U C K YOU.
Agree. Better this than the killing that was taking place in the Gladiator days. Modern Gladiators.

I agree in a way, but real boxing is an art and if you just see violence then you're watching the wrong guys. Understanding the sweet science gives you an appreciation of the sport. And seeing a guy press through a war is like poetry, all odds against him but the human spirit prevails. Corny but true! It also saves lives. A lot of kids who pick up boxing would have been street casualties. Instead most of them become humbled with discipline and go on to help other young kids in poor communities. So which is the lesser of two evils?

Focus on World Star. They are making a fortune off normal folks getting beat down and killed.

Boxing is regulated to the highest degree though.
If you wanted to go after the real culprit you'd be asking to take down websites like WSHH and Liveleak where fighting is funny and the norm.

I think boxing and all violent sports should be banned. | BoxingScene Community
