Thats a great post! Very good insight, this is one of the things that makes boxing as regular and special as the change in seasons. You just do not see many dukes of Windsor, or corporate honchos competing for the glory, they never needed to, never will need to. Even the Paul Brothers are truly (I say this in a kind paternal way) a cringe... obviously they are not well healed kids who went to boarding schools lol.
The difference between " a chance" boxing gives one, and the lottery, is that the lottery is really not only slim to none, but takes personal effort out of the equation. Both opportunities are slim, in both there are liars and cheats at hand... the government takes a good deal of all lottery winnings (plus the tickets)... Promoters take a great deal for very little... But given a choice, if you have the skills I would take boxing.
