If the day ever comes when Boxing, regarded by the Greeks as the most important event at the games between 775 BCE and AD 393 is eliminated; to make more room for reality show events like Canoe Slalom, Field Hockey, Handball, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Synchronized Swimming and Modern Pentathlon, we can expect Zues to rise up and smite the IOC. Should the games lose Boxing; it won't hurt the sport of boxing any; but it will certainly hurt the once important Olympic Games quite a lot.
