First Pro Speech
Pro: Combat Sports should be shown for entertainment purpose. Combat sports is for some people a lifestyle because they shape their entire lives around this style of sport and it is also a source of income for professionals who do this for a living, so if you were to take away for the eye of the public they would not be able to make a living off of the thing they love. These professional fighters also make millions of dollars a year to fight, so if you did not televise these fights they would have no source of money, and their sponsors would leave. Combat sports also enables respect in the fighters because they know not to underestimate their opponent, it also distiles a strong work ethic within the players because they have that drive/motivation to be the best. Combat sports are very popular in America, for example 50 million people watched the Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather fight because they wanted to see two professional fighters go at it. Also these fighters donate millions of dollars to charity, so if you take them away from the eye of the public they will not be able to help others in need.
