The point of boxing and martial arts though is not to kill your opponent... or even hurt them for that matter, it's about scoring points

but if you knock someone out the crowd love it…..and the very fact someone has been knocked out means the brain has suffered a trauma that could cause death.

Rider's & driver's almost killing themselves is also a selling point in all motorsports, the adverts are full of crashes, so (new) fans expect it. When it doesn't happen it's deemed boring. 

Racing is boring without a crash

Boxing is boring without a knockout 

Ice Hockey is boring without a smash in to the boards. 

Naturally, what keeps people interested & talking about sport is controversy. Without it, nobody would watch it. Controversy is what keeps people on the edge of their seats.
