If a boxer is in the sport for other than thelove of the game,and they have the skills to box, or is a natural at boxing,and their SOUL PURPOSES are fame, getting a good workout, and just because they want to do it, should this boxer truely continue in such a demanding sport?

YES!!! i don't think anybody does it because they love it!!! who likes to get hit, headbutted, black eyes, and the list goes on. i think a majority of females are in it hoping for that one chance at stardom and fame.

If they are there solely for the love of the sport, stay an amatuer. Pro boxing, as all other pro sports, is a business, and that means money. Boxers (male and female) make the least money out of the total revenue generated, so they have to love the sport because they all work other jobs. Hovever, if a fighter doesn't expect some compensation for the pain and deprivations they have to go through to excell in this tough business, then maybe he/she has already taken too many head shots.

in my opinion boxing is not a sport to be in because you love getting hit in the mouth but more so for your desire to win ,boxing has its problems so its hard to love this sport because in this game you can be easily railroaded into hating the job you are ask to do such as knock people out and destroy your opponent so if you can get money for this sport take it and use it for a brighter future and dont worry so muchly for the love of this sport thank you.

I think, as with everything, many people have different reasons for being a professional boxer. Taking a more traditional approach, boxing has its roots in urban populations. Historically, boxing provided a forum for neighborhoods to compete by putting forth one champion. You see this continued tradition in major metropolitan areas, such as Chicago, where boxers begin at a young age and boxing provides a family and outlet for the frustrations many youth experience in urban areas. In answer to the question, there are those who box because it is their lifeblood, their way out, simply, who they are. These people, male or female, should box professionally and their next challenge is the business. For those who come to the sport because it originally was a workout, for fame and money or because they just want to "do it". Well, that's a different story. For those who originally want a workout, they may be excellent professional boxers, it will depend upon what they find inside when faced with a "beatdown" or more highly skilled opponents. If their nature allows, these people could go on to be great or to find out their energy should be expended elsewhere. For those who want fame and money, if they're female and lacking another marketable quality then they should forget it. Heart is important and heart cannot be found in secular pursuits like fame and money. And lastly, for those who just want to do it, it will depend on why. What is their motivation? Should their motivation lend itself to the heart, or rather to the ferociousness required of boxing, then perhaps. If not, then these people should also let it go.
In conclusion, the poll confuses me. "What do you think" is not specific enough for me to answer. Even if I was answering the question posed by Morena Castillo, I could not give a yes or no response. So in order to respond to the interesting questionn by Morena, I give the previous response.
