While I agree with you...just because a man chooses to do a dangerous job, does not mean he is entitled to making a lot of money for it just on the danger factor alone. That's just not how the world works.The reality is that male life is cheap; always has been, always will be. And I say that with a heart and as a male myself.

As for the fight: you can literally see that man's brain hitting the back of his skull especially if you watch it over and over again. Stuff like this should really make fighters think twice about cutting weight - is it worth it to have an advantage of being large for your weight class, if it makes your brain easy to be damaged and shut down like that?

Tell that to the guys on the oil rigs, or the crabbers.
Or what about the guy on the steel?
They don't deserve more money?

Ridiculous statement.

no, they don't "deserve" more money because that is now how the world works. are those guys in those professions more important to the world than professional athletes and other celebrities? yes, of course they are. but in the free market they simply cannot bargain anywhere near the money professional athletes can.

and why is that? because millions of people around the world are not willing to pay monthly channel subscriptions to watch a bunch of guys on oil rigs or in steel mills or willing to buy their jerseys. it's just reality man, that is how the free market works. are there alternatives to the free market? of course their are. communism is certainly not one of them though...despite the fact that communism is where people that are fed up with a free market system are socially funneled via psyop into ascribing too.

the world isn't a nice place man, especially for men. females have value in life just based on existing. men, though? nobody is going to look out for you.

Are you really that out of touch with reality?

Guys that work on oil rigs, scaffolding, on high steel...that work with explosives etc etc etc...they all get "hazard pay" and that's because they do a dangerous job that deserves more money.

yes, they do make more money than say a guy working at McDonald's, and that is because they have a certain degree of skill that they can leverage. and on top of this skill, there are less people will to do those jobs because of the danger. because of that, they are in demand because they are not that easily replaceable relatively speaking. but, then, why are professional athletes paid so much when in theory they are easily replaceable? millions of people around the world play basketball for instance. if going by the numbers, NBA players should be making normal wages; at most six figures a year but more likely something like fifty thousand dollars a year or something. so, why is it despite millions upon millions of people all around the world that play basketball, the guys in the NBA can leverage so much money? because of the brand recognition. they are a brand. people will pay money to see a brand, to wear their jerseys, etc. there are many thousands of basketball players around the world that could replace the entire NBA roster right now, and it would still be an entertaining product because the players would still be high level. but that doesn't happen. why? because the NBA players are a brand and people will pay money to see whatever the established, respected mainstream brand is. people will pay money to see Lebon James pay basketball, not "some rando nobody".

it's just how it is, we are an attention whore society that values brands and social clout

So yeah, you're outside of reality.

This guy most likely has taken some serious damage in training (sparring) as well as a big weight cut that dehydrates the brain for days.

Not an ideal position to be in.

Its hard to walk away from the sport when you have that warrior mentality and dedicate so much to be on a competitive level, but I hope he realises there is a longer life after fighting to consider.
