Not every boxer fights twice a year and yes without a doubt you pay respect for the dangers they take for our entertainment. Boxing is the most dangerous contact sport and the most grueling to the body and mind. No sport has had as many directly related deaths. Boxing is a sport for the toughest individuals in the world and yet it is the least respected next to MMA.
For all the trash talk I and many others give these warriors, I respect them fullfully and admire their choices to perform in such a dangerous sport.
As the great Joe Frazier once said "Boxing is the ONLY sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertakers book."

If boxers where to fight 200 times a year, we would be seeing fighters for very long what so ever.

Have you ever seen their workout routines? Pacquiao's routine is insane! Same for Mayweather. Boxers are world class athletes.
The fact they fight only a few times a year has more to do with the fact boxing isn't as popular as it once was than they being lazy.
