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.
