    I don't think it's right but the IOC probably loves the idea.

    How can one not love the Pacman? His fanbois are insufferable, but he is so great I can forgive them enough to not hate Manny. Not an inconsiderable feat.

    Worst part is it would create a trend. In my opinion olympics should be for young talents at a cut off age pf 25/26. That encourages them to go pro earlier, which adds to the talentpool in boxing.

    There is no room for professional boxers at the Olympics.

    While I disagree with the idea but I don’t mind seeing it.. imagine the buzz Olympic boxing is gonna get. They will need to get a bigger arena.

    No not now. Professionals should not compete in the Olympics which is for amateurs.

    The only pro I remember competing was N'dam and he was eliminated pretty early as I can recall. I don't see this as being very fruitful for the Pacman
