why is everyone so concerned about what a boxer does outside the ring?

It's our fault putting sports men on a pedestal, we are expecting roll modles were in fact some are shit bags.
Many boxing champions have been the scum of the earth, and when they fuck up people rant and rave , were in fact the roll models you want are far removed, from the true facts some of these people do not no any better.
Remember sports men or women my exell at there sport, are we judging people by how much money they make meaning they should act like saint's.!!!

I can separate a fighters personal life/behavior with his ability. They're not roll models to me, they're just humans that are super talented at punching people in the mush for a living. Like everyone else on the planet some are nice guys, some are massive wankers.

However, it would be a bit odd for a boxing nerd to have no interest in what fighters say/do outside the ring.
