bro do you think don king, bob arum, hbo and showtime execs gave a damn about boxing? **** no! those are some of the most ruthless businessmen on the planet! don king stomped a man to death who owed him money, and shot another guy who robbed his casino as he was running away!


boxing is the exploitation of talent and labor by elites ot make money. always has been. in the past it was WORSE. a lot worse. go back a century and traditional boxing events were segregated, or included battle royales where black fighters would fight 3 guys at once.
