I saw this asked on another thread somewhere the other day, but basically it’s because it’s high risk, low reward for them.

Pro boxers, especially at the highest levels, make a lot of money per bout…participating in the Olympics would require taking a massive pay cut ($0) while risking injury or other outcome that could be detrimental to their career.
