I hate the phrase "boxers risk their lives for our entertainment!"

Btw, some of these "regular" jobs, are just as dangerous, if not more so due to having to do them 5 days a week.

      everybody has an attitude, a computer and an opinion. Yet few have experience in a pro ring or anywhere in the sport for that matter.

        well there are a million safer ways to make money. Plus most never even make any real money. Plus they spend years in amatuer programs for free. I would say they do it for the love of the sport rather then money. Hell I spent years in the gym sparring and fighting and whatnot for free. Actually you pay gym dues for it. Though I did get 30 bucks for my first am fight

Besides not all pro boxers get paid millions of dollars,but they still get hit just as much.
            Human beings have been fighting for free and for no reason since the beginning of time.

              Not as a form of entertainment not for free at least.People in this society without the money incentive would never risk brain damage for some applause only.**** even the Romans had to use slave even the dumbest roman soldier was like "Waityou saying I could get killed in an arena for free??? Fk that".

              Fights do happen every day over ****** **** like you say, and that's why world star exists but I doubt any major televised sport for the masses where killing each other was a possibility, and beating the **** of each other is the goal would happen without the money incentive.

                  Also a lot of the top ones in that list do have money involved bets etc.

                      I made more money before I joined the military. Try again son
