The fact is, if boxing were to be taken off the Olympics slate we would lose a lot more than just one sport image alone but everything that comes with it.

Impact on Boxing
Financial
Sponsorship and revenue derived through a largely independent industry that relies heavily on the Olympic platform for growth. Non-inclusion will incur a great financial fillip for boxers, national federations and the sport itself.

Decreased Standing
The Olympics is the top tier for amateur boxing. Without it, the sport would lose some of its story and this is important in a sporting context where gaining as large an audience as possible increases commercial values.
