Boxing: no one ever wants to see a fighter die in the ring, least of all his opponent. But, it happens. No boxer has ever entered the ring against his or her will.
Boxing has been an Olympic sport since the 7th century BC.
I like to see guys who can handle themselves get in the ring. They all chose to get in the ring. All the guys they beat chose to get in the ring.
You can choose to watch a boxing match or not.
And since you haven't said it, I'll stick my neck out and say that there is indeed beauty in a really well-fought match...not that they come up all that often.
It's similar in a sense to wrestling, which I used to watch every Saturday night (in the early 80s) regardless of the fact that the matches were pretty much invariably awful, because every once in a rare while they'd show one that was such a stunning display of 250 pound guys doing incredible gymnastics that it was almost breathtaking.
