Boxing's a tough sport. Correction - THE toughest sport. There are easier ways for a young black man to make a heap of money these days, and not necessarily in other sports. Look how many rich shithouse little rappers there are out there. ****, every episode of MTV Cribs there's one or two with a mansion and an Escalade, Bentley or Lamborghini or all three. For all we know the real middleweight champion of the world is instead yellin, "Soulja Boy off in this oh..Watch me crank it, watch me roll..Watch me crank dat, Soulja Boy..Then Superman dat oh"
This argument ignores the fact that some people just like fighting. If they weren't boxing, they'd be fighting on the street for freee, it has nothing to do with money. It just appears the amount of people that like to fight in America is decreasing.
