[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 797922, member: 38640"] The crux of it. Professional sport is really an industry which only a few can make it as a professional. As it should be to be honest - it's not a vital industry. As bad as it may be; there are far worse sports out there that cater to far fewer full-time professionals, with even greater risks. How many boxers outside of the elite level of say - top 50 of their weight class - are able to earn a comfortable living? You see guys who are basically fed to elite level prospects to get knocked out in the first round, who are bouncers and firemen in their day jobs. [/QUOTE]
