Why is it that an intense spotlight is being beamed at professional football for concussions, etc. while no one cares if brains are being bashed into mush in professional boxing?

Just wondering......

The greatest “little guy” fighter was Roberto Duran. In his late 30s he was still winning belts. In his heyday as a Lightweight, he was the greatest ever. The early version of Pacquiano reminded me of Duran, but Duran absolutely lived to fight, he had none of the distractions, i.e., singing and political career like the Pacman has. Styles make fights and Marquez had the style to frustrate Manny. I think both fighters should retire. Mayweather has already beaten
Marquez. He’ll never fight him again.
