actually you heard that on joe rogan right?
bare knuckle boxers used to get their eyes knocked out of their sockets...
gloves are better but i also think boxing with gloves is brutal, primitive, exploitative, and immoral....
p.s. why do you think most professional boxers are minorities?

I guess you mean in USA? Probably because boxing is more popular sport in low income families on big cities, and in USA that includes proportially large amount of black people because of reasons... This is purely a guess based on Hollywood knowledge, so I might be very wrong.

Looking through the wikipedia list of current world champions, it's not in any way dominated by "minorities" as in people with heritage from country other than for which country they're competing.

you're so close... the point being:
poorer people will do things for money, like destroy their own body... just because they "choose" that from a very limited set if choices doesn't mean that was freely chosen

And yet you're so far off the mark it's amazing, it could be argued that only the privileged can afford to not work, hence all work is inherently abusive and noone can be trusted to accept fair exchanges because the fact that you where offered something in exchange for something else inherently means you are abusing the person doing you a service...
