hmm...do continuous and violent (like when you're in contact sports and they keep hurting your breast) contact of men's breast cause breast cancer?

No- contact sports would not be a risk factor. risk factors would include age, family history, genetics, radiation exposure, certain congenital abnormalities, estrogen exposure, liver disease, excess weight, and excessive use of alcohol. You can read more here

The cause of breast cancer in men is the same as the cause in women. The only difference inmen and women are:
1) women generally have more breast tissue. Therefore, more opportunities for breast cancer to be initiated
2) women produce estrogen which is known to fuel some breast cancers.

No. If it was, most athletes would have breast cancer.
Basically we get breast cancer the same way women do.

not actually...
usually its from different inherent and environmental factors such as:
Family medical history, genetics, radiation, exposure to free radicals, diet, obesity, drug interactions and side effects, etc.
