    Let's get things straight here...

    ...about this "putting their lives on the line" nonsense.

    I've been reading this line often and it's annoying as fk.

    Question: Are you also concerned about the lives of the underdogs
    that supply the A-side's needs for tuneups, looking good, etc.?
    To me, mismatched fights are just as bad as fighters using enhancing drugs,
    if not more dangerous to the lives of the underdogs.

    Or you're just concerned about the well-being of your fighter,
    who makes unbelievable amount of money compared to the underdog?
    Why am I not hearing about demanding better pay for the underdog?

      The death rate for truck drivers & fishermen is higher than it is for boxers.

      "Putting their life on the line" is just a corny phrase in general.

      I'm sure being endlessly concussed causes accumulated brain damage... but the death rate is very low.

        I’d love to see you say that to a fighters face...

        They literally risk their lives every time they step in the ring.

        I thought the Patrick Day, Dadashev and Westgarth incidents might have wisened people up. Obviously not...

          Point is NOBODY is forcing them to fight for a living.
          They can get out of the sport ANY effing TIME.

            Ask GGG and his fans that. After making close to 20 million he payed Vanes like 250k and not one person complained. Yet he felt entitled to asking for a 50/50 split with Canelo. As far as Canelo goes he been very generous to all his oponents. Fighters like Lara, Angulo and Kirkland all got more than a million and that was like 5 years ago when Canelo wasn’t even making that much and not to mention the fact that Nelo dosnt fight Bums

                    I’m concerned about any fighters health. Even if it was a guy I consistently rooted against I’d never want to see him die or injured.

                    The only fighters I wouldn’t care about would be evil f***ers like McClellan or Stevenson. I wouldn’t wish nothing bad upon them but when it happened I didn’t feel sympathetic cause they were vile people.

                    They evidently do put their lives on the line every time they fight. That’s my point. Instances from Paret through to Patrick Day prove that.
