why there are professional rugby players in the Olympics but not professional boxers?
In: Other
Professional Rugby is administered by the same governing body as amateur Rugby and contested under the same rules.
Amateur boxing is under a different ruleset and different governing body to professional boxing, so any active pro boxer (regardless of how good they actually are) is never going to make it through the qualification process. Nor would they want to, since it’d mean not getting paid.
