    Sports entertainment isn’t the same as sport. Sport is controlled by a state commission and sports entertainment, notably professional wrestling, is not. It’s what allows wrestlers to use steroids whereas boxers or mma fighters cannot. (Not an expert, just trying to describe the jist of things)
