If you look at the olympics, combat sports like TKD and Karate have been recently added, they are very popular. Judo and Boxing have always been tough tickets as well.
Rules based violence will always be popular form of entertainment, nothing will change that.

I think I clearly made the point is not about violence or contact, but the irrevocable nature of brain damage.
And of course there will always be people who happily watch another person take permanent brain damage in order to spice up their Tuesday evening beer, but the question was "(if you're a thinking man) how could you?"
Edit: and boxing is a poster child for making brain damage worse in the name of less visible blood from superficial cuts so more people can watch.
