At the end of the day, every sport has that risk except badminton. Even golf - hell, you can die if you get hit with a golf ball off full swing.
The problem isn't the risk, the problem is awareness and an acceptance of the risk. Fighters are told clearly about, and sign numerous forms about, the inherent dangers. They don't do that in hardly any other sport. That's the real issue.
As far as people boycotting I think that's more about the overly sensitive, overly regulated climate. People want to see the guys play, not the officials.
That's one reason I actually did like watching XFL, as a guy who can't stand NFL. It was about the players and the game, not the officials and the rules.
