      I'd love to see bareknuckle fighting become more popular.

      There are so many questions I have about how effective certain defensive techniques are without big gloves.

      And also I'm curious to see if on offense people will shy away from multi-punch combos in favor of single punches. In order to protect the hands from damage.

        It seems like broken hands and facial bones would be a lot more common.

            Why would fighters compete in this thing instead of just becoming boxers? I don't get it. It's more risk for less money, isn't it

                More broken hands and faces for sure but maybe less brain damage.

                  There are plenty broke mfers in boxing. 90% of boxers would be better of working their way up the corporate ladder of their local Dairy Queen then professionally boxing.

                  The upside is big in boxing if you are in that top .5% to 1% & can make 100k+ per fight. But most guys will never see that or come close to it.

                  If some guy could jump into BK fighting & be a player they'd likely make more money in BK fighting then boxing.

                  That said you are extremely likely to have 2nd rate fighters, at least at the start til it grows a base...assuming it can or will, so it'll be sorta like the WNBA to NBA with talent to some degree.

                    I'm sure there are some, but I don't believe its attainable for most. And certainly not at the activity level of pro boxers with 6+ fights early in their career & even 2 or 3 fights during their primes.
