Why do so many people get paid off of one person who risks his life in the ring?

[Randall Cunning]

No different to Formula 1, check out that in the 70s/80s if you wanna see some real mad stuff, insane rate of mortality. Its up to the governing bodies to make it as safe as possible, fighters know what theyre getting themselves into

Silly thread, the fighters aren't forced to fight for the world titles but choose to do so. If they chose to fight for a title then there's a price the sanctioning bodies pay. Let's not pretend the belts increase the value of the fighter because they do. That's why we see posters like you always posting such and such is a 22X world champion or such and such beat 12 world champions.

I swear some of you guys pretend you don't understand the world around and think everything is unfair. Nothing is unfair about mutual agreement.

If a fighter wants to carry an entourage of friends with him then that's his choice and money. If he wants to trade his hard earned money for friendship then so be it.

These adults aren't forced to pay anyone they don't choose to pay. So to give you the obvious answer to your question, because the fighter decides what he wants to spend his money on.

good post.....

I think it's f#cked up, but the reality is the entertainment world at large is similar, minus the risk in most cases, and boxing is entertainment at the end of the day. There are so many hands in the cookie jar and middlemen to guys trying to get their hands in the cookie jar.

Because all those people are responsible for getting you in the ring to begin with and the money involved in the event..

Now some absolutely screw fighters over unfairly, but everyone you named is involved in the actual fight happening, and should get a cut for their work.

[Elroy The Great]

You enter the ring alone with no guarantee of leaving the same , yet so many people who are not risking their lives have their hands in that fighters pocket.I can understand paying your trainer,cutman,sparring partners, manager and promoter...but damn you have to also pay the sanctioning bodies???It is ridiculous

groupies, hangers on, enterage....these grown ass men know the deal. if mc hammer isnt the poster child of how not to throw money away, no one is.
