Yeah, call me religious or a holy roller.. that's cool. Profanity exists in every sport. I've played organized football, basketball, etc. Some of us do exist out there however who choose not to get caught up in that foul trash talk, and just leave our game on the field, court, whatever.

Both my boys have been in martial arts, so I have no problem with boxing. With the increased blood and M rating, nope won't let them see this one. Amazes me how there is a push for every one to get educated to contribute positively to society, just so we can resort back to barbaric ways. Problem here is, some parents don't care anyway, and this being a recognized sport, our kids will pay.

On other note, I do believe that career approach would give a lasting appeal, cause you get totally different stories. You choose any style you want, but your street kid could excel more as a brawler. Your average athlete could have speed but lack punch accuracy and defense, so you develop each with a different mindset. Your wealthy citizen could be a balanced boxer but have a suspect chin. Your washed up boxer could be unorthodox, poor defense guy, but who's got heart and power comes out in the later rounds.
