I do find it odd that pretty much every other sport that involves impact to the head, even heading the ball in football, is being examined for ways to make it safer yet its rare to hear anything said against boxing.

They also have to deal with the fact that for those who were in it at the start their contracts expire after this season. They're on relatively low pay for a show that does so well, expect they'll be looking for a hefty rise to sign on for a few more years.
