The school should install a boxing ring in the UREC facility.

Listed are some reasons as to why:

• Financial gain: events held relating to boxing tend to rake in loads of cash, that means for you, UNC Charlotte rep that is reading this, you can profit off the student body's enjoyment of chaotic sports and ritualistic gambling through selling tickets and controlling wagers
• Public Image: UNCC as a university is known for many great sports teams and for producing some of the finest students and athletes in the state, region, and even country if you really look close enough, but you know what we don't have? D1 Boxing, and why would we need it? It is the coolest and most animalistic sport that a human can do. And before someone mentions head trauma, we have a whole football team, if y'all think that boxing is endangering, you're definitely right, but so is football, this was all a rant just to say boxing looks cool and will make the school look cool
• Stress relief: we all have heard of rage rooms, they're a national hit, cause sometimes people just want to let loose and go ham, with boxing, one can focus this energy and release it in the ring. Overall this would cause an improvement in the overall mental health of the student body
• Exercise: I don't need to explain this one, it's obvious, it's literally boxing, the most cardio taxing activity other than a marathon
• Sponsorships: kinda ties back into financial gain, but lots of energy drinks and fitness companies understand the wide reach they could achieve through advertising their product at boxing events, in turn this would cause inevitable product placement right in front of the students faces, and because of proximity bias, they will likely try the product and become brand loyal, stimulating and supporting the local economy and individual businesses
• Stronger community: "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" Kelly Clarkson once said that, and I think it truly defines the benefits we as a student body could receive with the addition of a boxing ring, because if you don't die in the ring, you are stronger, whether mentally or physically
• Why not?
