    Golden Boy KO Bonus

    Is Golden Boy KO bonus too much. There have been some cards where Golden Boy pays a bonus amount for the KO of the night. Does that encourage fighters to fight a more violent style? Is that sending the right message to boxing fans? Personally, I think it's wrong to encourage that kind of style or behavior, given the injuries and deaths associated with the sport. Now, I understand boxing is a dangerous sport, but to encourage and reward a KO is inhumane. What are your thoughts on this? It's sad to see fighters get seriously hurt in this sport.

        Yeah, okay. Go tell that to the dude who's in coma, or that Mexican kid whose dead. Boxing is a violent sport, but to encourage and reward a KO, a KO where a fighter can get seriously hurt or die? Come on, now. Think before you speak.

            Yeah, okay. Go tell that to the dude whose in a coma, or the Mexican kid who just died. Unfortunately, our sport is doomed by fans like you, who see fighters as animals and not human beings. Have a little more decency, for crying out loud. These fighters have families and people who care about them, they are human beings. Boxing is a violent sport, but lets not promote it and reward it with KO bonus. Come on, now. Think before you speak. People like you want to be entertained at the expense of a fighter's health. Have some respect for these fighters and what they go through in the ring.

              You don't have to worry about to many KO's coming from golden boy fighters, there roster is littered with fighters who don't knock guys out.

                I like it. If You opponent will be fighting more Wild then just look for mistakes lol you don't have to look for the KO yourself

                  Goddamn man, go find another sport for real. If you don't want to see as much violence, stick to amateur boxing. Me, I want to see blood and guts warriors fighting.

                    Right. I just think it makes the opponent fight more aggressively and makes him try to seriously hurt the opponent. Sure, boxing is a violent sport. If the KO comes, then it comes. But, to encourage and reward it with KO bonus, is irresponsible behavior by promoter. These fighters are human beings who put their life on the line. It's as if the promoter is saying "kill him, hurt him, and you'll get an extra $100,000." That's not cool.
