Should boxing be all about its stars having the "highest reward/lowest risk" fights?

Yep. It's always been this way. Nobody wants to get punched in the face for no reason.

In ancient Egyptian boxing, the stakes were much higher. Google ancient Egyptian boxing and see the assortment of spiked and bladed gloves used in that era.
Risk and reward are the same as Cause & Effect.

 

Well that's how most boxers think. That's why Mayweather is fighting an Argentine cab driver who destroyed his over hyped apprentice, in a chance Floyd has no chance of losing rather than fighting the criminally avoided Kell Brook in a fight he may well lose

 

A man sitting at a bar was asked why he wore his wedding ring on the wrong finger.
His response: Because I married the wrong MoFukking woman!

See, I got jokes too.

 

I think fighters fighting the weakest links down plays the right of truly being great. I understand boxing is a sport, but how good can one be if they're not fighting a real threat to display there so called greatness. A lot of boxers do this. Managers put there fighters in the ring with men that can't stack up to them just to carry the fighters name. The BS needs to stop.

 

Today, boxing is big business.
The object of any business is to earn money while minimizing exposure.

Look at the old great companies like IBM and General Electric.
They spent 100s of Billions on research and development to develop new products.
Today, you have companies look Google who spend half as much while earning 100x more.
Boxing is a sport, but right behind being a sport, it is a business.

 

More like behind being a business, its also a sport. It is what it is though. The only thing to do is pay for cards you like, and dont pay for ones you dont.

 

Its about low reward boxera, making themselves a high reward boxer by achieving more :bbb

 

I couldnt say if its always been this way, but it has seemed that way with some fighters at times.
I always felt Hopkins was a bit like that at times, with having turned pro inside the CW limit and then being a world champ at MW, many of his fights were against fighters who could be argued as naturally smaller and recall him as a MW champ calling out LMWs and WWs.
I cant think of any Hopkins opponent who was as heavy as him when they turned pro, but he did have some good wins against Tarver and Holmes

 

I guess that's as good as it gets from English fans when commending Hopkins and his accomplishments.
FW's recent comments on Hopkins upcoming fight since referred to him as an ex-convict, 30+ years later.

 

Not sure what you are going on about when I note some good wins in Tarver and Holmes? Are you suggesting Hopkins didnt fight some fighters who were naturally smaller than him in high reward lesser risk fights?
Look at things through rose tinted glasses if thats what you prefer?
