When it comes to boxing the only people effected are the two people that agree to get in the ring. If you dont like boxing change the channel. Every year 40 to 50 thousand people die in auto wrecks. I could on and on about things that are far more harmful to the world than boxing. We are all gonna die from something, being that I am a boxer I will go down fighting.

Further to this the recent scandals surrounding the corruption and greed in F1 (Flavio Briatore), accidents (Felipe Massa) the bloodgate scandal in rugby (Harlequins) and numerous match fixing scandals in football, which is a multi-billion pound industry make boxing's misdemeanors pale into insignificance.
