How I feel about people betting on fights

I usually leave people alone, but when I hear others betting over a boxing match, it gives me a chill. I do let them do what they want but when it comes to betting in fights you can count me out. I box myself and met some real pro boxers and MMA fighters, and seeing people bet over them just don't feel right. They are human fighters not fighting cocks! They are martial artists and not playing cards.

Maybe it is in the nature, to unleash our aggressive side.

I fully agree with you, it's a shame how people have very little consideration for those who risk their lives boxing.

I think those people who gamble should try boxing themselves, so they would realize the brutal risk.

@Mamerto32 You are right, they should understand that it's a risky sport.
