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

[Deevel916]

explain the amateurs and the olympics then? Pan am games, world games, Cuban amatuers all the small amatuer shows all over the world in all combat sports. Gym smokers??? the list goes on and on

And their main objective is to what? .......That's right!. Make it to the pros so that they can start getting Paid! No boxer just goes to straight pro. They have to start somewhere.

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.

People fight for free and fun all the time. Its just not televised.
