I take that same risk everytime I get behind the wheel..

I understand what you are saying.. and I concur..

However.. There would be no Boxing and Boxers.. if there was no audience..
They do this for money which comes out of OUR pockets.. and as the people who pay their salaries.. I think that entitles us to be critical in anyway we choose

WE are NOT the only one's who pay their salaries. Indeed, we are heavy contributors. It's not solely on us.

Furthermore, we can be critical however, being logical is also a great thing. Irrational critics are for the birds. Objectivity and maintaining ann understanding that regardless of who pays them, they are getting their behinds beat so we can say "he's a runner","he's the g.o.a.t.", "he's a warrior", "he's a *****" etc.

All fighters sustain some kind of punishment every time they get in the ring. Being hit is not a fun feeling and sure, they are fighting for a reason,(ie. money, fame and recognition, security etc.) but, they are still fighting.

wow thats a little harsh mate. of course nobody wants to see fighters dance around with the aim of never getting hit... but internet tough guys who sit here and slag off a fighter whilst they tuck into their chocolate cake and swig their bottle of coke kinda pisses me off as well. there has to be respect, because they are putting themselves in danger for our entertainment

No. They are putting themselves in danger for the pursuit of BIG PAYCHECKS.

it takes courage to fight for thousands and millions of dollars?? what a joke.

You, I would not expect to understand.

dude shut the **** up. you've probably never even been into a ring. your forgetting all the years of sacrifice these guys put in before the big fights. all the fights they have for hundreds of dollars just to survive. look at guys like barera and morales, they turned pro at 16. when you were 16 you were sitting at home with your spotty face, sitting on your hand and having a wank

They are still endangering their lives. They are endangering their lives. Regardless. They may never see the paycheck, let them get hit in the right place at the right time.

Would u like to watch a football game, where the reciever is scared to catch the ball in fear of getting hit? No, but its part of the game. Same as boxing.

its a bit of both in some fighters cases. fighters like hatton, benn, morales, barera, these guys fight for their fans and for respect and honour. its not all about green bills

Listen, i dont box because i dont like to get hit, who does? So because of that, i never persued a boxing career. Should Dale Earnhardt Jr drive like a wuss because there is a chance he might crash? Im sure he's well aware of the dangers of racecar driving, and if he felt he couldnt deal with the risks, he would've taken up a different proffesion.

i agree with this too. BUT boxing is a sport..hit and not get hit, i just have a problem with people using that excuse for a fighter, but not applying it ( it's a sport) when choosing competition. its a sport so FIGHT THE BEST!!

How do you drive like a wuss? He's racing right? He could crash if he drives fast, correct?

Very simple minded to justify wanting to see people do something that you admittedly are not familiar with doing yourself. Yet, you reserve the right to label others who do take the risk, regardless of what it is for
"wuss".

Football and it's dangers are not comparable to boxing and it's perils, Deevel. That is not a good analogy.
