I was thinking that professional boxing is kind of questionable as a sport discipline and even more so as a gambling event. It is known that many boxers sustain long term effects of repeated micro-trauma and even some have been know to die in the ring. For all boxing fans and for others that may have a view on this, how is this being considered a fully legal activity being supported?

Man, any professional sport is harmful for people who are involved in. Without any exceptions. Even such sport as biking is traumatic. But this is not the reason to forbid it. And while it still allowed, why we can't bet on it? I think everything is fair.

Boxers choose their life and the moment to get out of it. Box isn't some kind of gladiator fights where you at high risk of losing your life or health. I don't see any problem.
