Could you imagine if boxing's biggest star was a female?

Boxing isn't big enough to project a female into stardom like the UFC has done for Ronda Rousey, the female fights put on are genuinely pretty entertaining as well... Floyd Mayweather can't even do that so props to the ladies, I think its primarily a lot of salty flómos that hate her because she speaks openly and says it like it is.

Mcgregor is probably the biggest UFC star.

UFC literally has a new star every other damn year They hype up the sh1t out of their fighters. They literally market almost everyone champion in every weight class as the p4p best. They've mentioned Aldo, Jones, Barao, and Mighty Mouse, as p4p best in the past year. Not too long before they mention Weidman and Dillashaw as their p4p best.

UFC literally has a new star every other damn year So would boxing if the best fought the best when they were supposed to.

Well De la Hoya and Mayweather were borderline, wouldn't you agree?

That reminds me. The UFC had its first nip slip recently. I know sooner or later there is gonna be a clam slip. Rooting for it being Miesha or Cat. https://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/carano.gif

Ronda Rousey's career is peaking at just the right time. The feminist movement in America and globally is at a fever pitch. She is young, attractive, and blonde, and she kicks ass, pro feminists and white America love that. I guarantee five years from now no one will care about her but right now she's the IN thing. Much like Arnold Schwarzennegger's movie career in the mid 80's where action movies and big muscles were the IN thing, Ronda Rousey is coming along at just the right time.

1. Is wrong. A Latina can pull it off. Maybe even an Asian like a Filipino or something. So the pretty black girls weren't getting any praise or there just wasn't any pretty black girls??? That is a big part of it. The girl has be pretty. Didn't the cute Latina girl Marlen Esparza come off pretty good after the Olympics??? She won bronze and got endorsement deals with Coke a Cola, cover girl and McDonald's. Our penises tend to be be pretty racist according to the okcupid dating data. http://i.imgur.com/dqTCoOC.jpg

Lol ok I feel u bruh but it's not like that for me. I don't get much outta seen the girls roll around on the floor. I wanna see ground and pound or a submission. Not soft ****. Idk why men think seeing two dudes wrestle is gay either but whatever. Your point is it's easier to sell than girls standing up strictly punching. Bro just think of it as sex and violence your missing out.

Equal rights, equal fights.

You see man in MMA girls get to role around on top of each other and 'Squeeze' the anatomy real 'Tight' ; forcing a long shaft * Arm * between their legs torquing it up their camel toes until the other 'Screams' or get 'Tapped' -- if you know what Im sayin -- for the same reason we think men rolling around is for @#$!

I gotta agree with stax. Even in the olympics the pretty white girls are the only ones that get praised.

no,ur so wrong there are PLENTY of female latin boxers,some are pretty attractive to and they get no airplay at all. theres no way a asian lady boxer could pull it off either Ok but talking about a undefeated, DOMINATE Latina Boxer. Not just an ok looking Latina that's winning a few fights. I think a girl that's running thru her competition in brutal fashion would be a good sell.

Proof that most on this forum are teenagers and/or haven't been watching boxing very long. Of course it is not your fault that your Mother and Father did not have you sooner I get that lol I remember when Lalia Ali was a STAR! I remember when Christy Martin was Popular as well as Mia St. John. The feedback for all of them was very positive if I remember correctly. Anne Wolfe came along a few years later and the Buzz for Women Boxing already died down once Anne Wolfe started to dominate. Yes I do believe that Lalia Ali ducked her but it wasn't much buzz for that fight because Wolfe wasn't as known at the time With Rousey I don't think the feedback for his is negative besides from Boxing Fans because UFC is using Boxers to build her up, I'm not a fan of that at all because Boxing don't use the UFC for anything. Boxers don't even mention MMA Fighters AT ALL Also hardcore MMA Fans don't like her because Casuals have no jumped on Rousey bandwagon and they have taken the hype to another level. Once Casuals jump on a fighters Bandwagon, the Hardcore fans tend to back off a bit Yes as some already posted, being attractive helps. Lalia Ali and Mia St. John was both attractive and that made them popular with the Hardcore fans. If you're not attractive then you have to be very exciting and basically fight like a Man which made Christy Martin and Anne Wolfe Popular. Also in MMA, Cyborg is not attractive but she is exciting to watch because she can get KO's and Exciting Wins. While Meisha Tate and Rousey are popular because of their Looks more than anything else

Is OP insinuating Floyd is not a female?

lets be honest,in orer to have a woman boxing star she would have to be a couple of things 1. white 2. sexyness to a degree,at least somewhat attractive 3. constantly talks about empowerment of women and faminism I agree. Her being attracive makes me like her but the femnist crap makes me want to see her get beat down...

Lets face it man, the US is still primarily white so having a bad ass white chick as the poster child for womens sports its gonna sell. If this were a black of latina chic, no1 would care but because shes tall/blonde & bangable it sells.
