It’s an interesting dilemma because they are consenting, but to what extent are they being influenced by the money compared to their career opportunities outside of the sport?

Many athletes in dangerous sports come from lower class backgrounds where it might be seen as the only ticket out of poverty.

I don’t think it’s enough to convert a pacifist into an MMA fighter, but its certainly not the same equation for kids growing up at different income levels.
