Do Boxers get paid to much?

Boxing and Rugby are overrated simply because people perceive them as "real men's" sports, but they are too stop start for me even though i do like Boxing to an extent, but i see rougher looking fights in WWE even though its "fake"

I can compare the two based on conditioning and the fact ive done both running is a basic form of cardio every sport person does as i said before i could run around a pitch for 90 minutes ive done it before quite often but when i went boxing training its on an other level i was in better shape after a month of boxing than i was after 4 year of football

Also i agree about rugby i think thats dull as shit

There is no way you could consider boxers getting paid too much, in the same way that the view that footballers are paid way - way over the odds, is unarguable!

A quick line on Daniel Dubois' latest fight tonight! Clearly favourite, and a step closer to the world elite in 2020 and beyond!! Decent card throughout actually!

People get paid what the market will pay, in any sphere of life, sport or otherwise. No-one gets paid "too much", except in the envious eyes of others.

Not sure you can say that to such a certain degree!! I think it is actually easy to quantify a persons worth by the job they do, and therefore, fairly simple to analyse the level of reward they receive for doing it, and whether that is fair, reasonable and reflective of the job they are asked to do!!!

Although never in trouble, it took Dubois a little time to measure up the Japanese guy! When he did though - clinical finish, and - relative to how good his opponent was - a bit of a statement!!
