What does that have to do with anything? By that rationale Wlad and Haye should avoid each other for the duration of their respective careers. No one is forcing Haye to be a boxer he CHOSE to that, he CHOSE to say the fight he wants most is the klits, he CHOSE to make t-shirts showing their decapitated heads, he CHOSE to ambush WLAD calling him out. He CHOSE to make fun of Arreola even though Arreola actually backed up his talk and got in the ring with a Klit. If you are a professional athlete you are expected to perform.
No, as a fan I want to see the best fights.

Boxers fight for money, not to entertain fans.

History shows many boxers end up brain damaged and in certain cases dead. It's a dangerous business.

You are basically crying about a fighter not entertaining you.
If by that I mean he should have backed up his own words then yes I am crying about a fighter not entertaining me. Boxing IS entertainment, the money he gets is directly correlated to entertaining the fans, the fans don't get entertained, fans stop showing up and then no one gets paid.

No one doubts that a boxers life is dangerous, but he made that choice to live a lifestyle that puts himself in danger for the entertainment of the fans. Therefore he is obligated to do that ONE thing to get a paycheck step in the ring and entertain the fans.
