Immoral. Ruthless. Tantamount to legalized murder.

The article -- titled "The Immorality of Professional Boxing" -- compared the sport to the bloody gladiator contests in ancient Rome. It also criticized the business of boxing as equally ruthless, with the fighter "only a machine to make money."
I've never been a big fan of Boxing so I would have to agree with the article. Watching two people beat the shit out of each other isn't my idea of fun.
It also noted that fighters who don't die in the ring often suffer long-term physical and psychological injuries.
Find an old boxer and most of them have problems of some kind related to the "sport." I agree with this stance that it is wrong. But human nature being what it is nothing is going to change.
Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself. James Anthony Froude
