Ban the UCI, let the race organizers figure it out. The market works, so let it. What won't works will fail, what will work will succeed. -An Economist27-09-2026 21:41

My knowledge of boxing is limited, and likely 20 years out of date. Suffice to say, assuming there's no fraud (not sure that's a good assumption), then the boxers tend to be paid what they're worth. A famous fighter goes up against an unknown, the famous fighter makes much more out of the fight, as he's the reason the fight makes most of the money it made. Honestly, the various states (American meaning or worldwide meaning of the term) making rules about the rules and legality of professional martial arts means there is an oligopoly in them, so the fighters will get paid less and the organizations get paid more. Big government benefits oligopolies and monopolies, regardless of what anyone might want.12-09-2026 04:19

I would simply like to point out that you are generally right, but all of what you brought up are aspects of supply and demand. They can be quite complicated, but they are verified by the prices (and quantities) found in the market.12-09-2026 04:13

It's called "supply and demand". People tend to be paid what they're worth (their discounted marginal value product). Just because he's the greatest cyclist, doesn't mean he would ever get paid what the greatest tennis player would be paid. There is more to the calculation than talent and hard work.11-09-2026 02:42

Yeah, a better helmet MIGHT do something, but even if you made the perfect helmet, you're not going to protect the neck of the rider from breaking under the stress of a high velocity impact. Human bodies aren't meant to go, let alone crash, at these speeds. The sport is dangerous, and you can do a bit to lessen the danger, but in the end it's the individual making the choice to put their life on the line to pursue the sport. That choice has to be respected, even if the worst happens. -An Economist17-08-2026 03:59
