Holly Holm beat the hell out of Rhonda Rousey. that was an unbelieveable performance. Absolute beat down.
If Holme came back to boxing and fought Anne Wolf do you think it would be a big deal.
Divine hammer is a strong woman who don't need no man
Manny losing decisively to his two greatest rivals ruined the sport for them. Now they want it to die. There's really not much more to it than that.
I have seen a lot ridiculous statements posted on these walls e.g. 'Pigs can fly', 'Pacquiao will KO Mayweather' etc. but this below takes the biscuit.
i think they are more skilled than most male boxers and stronger too. females tend to be far more disciplined and focused than males which is why female boxing is more superior than male boxing. it's just that a lot of these networks are sexist. if people saw how much better female boxing is compared to male boxing it would be bad business for the status quo.
Wow, you cunt.

I just lost testosterone from reading this post
Take off their tops.
You disgusting pig. But no I doubt it. Women's mma isn't even popular. Just Ronda cause she's decent looking and was winning. If ufc just kept having her on undercards no one would care. It's all about the push they get
Most people don't like to watch a REAL brutal fight between 2 women. I don't know, maybe it's wired in our brains or something but most guys would rather watch bikini models have pillow fights instead of 2 muscular women beating the crap out of each other.
real shame that female boxing doesn't get more attention. it's more exciting than male boxing sometimes. hopefully it gets mroe coverage.
it only seems more exciting because most of them aren't very skilled and have poor defense. if you have 2 fighters that have minimal or no defense, every fight is gonna look like gatti vs ward
I hope not. The last thing I want to see is a PPV card stacked with Woman's boxing on the undercard. That would dilute the quality of the product to no end.
Absolutely not.
MMA has had star attractions in Carano who was hella attractive and a decent fighter and now Rousey who was good at judo and a loud personality. In UFC it's been able to work.
Boxing has never had a big attraction in a women's division, nor has it ever drew any attention or interest.
Yes, it would take the daughter, niece, etc of a mega talented/popular boxer like for instance let's say Mayweathers daughter. If she was a talented boxer she could create a buzz to bring female boxing to the mainstream (at least for a short period of time.)
Yes - I don't think it is about men and women, the reason why Ronda Rousey became so popular was because she was destroying nearly everyone in a round. She developed the Mike Tyson effect of invincibility, this along with the fact that she talks well (and controversially), is good looking, and just an extremely marketable package means that she has really taken off and lets face it now put women's mixed martial arts on the map.
It doesn't matter what the sport or performance when there is something unique, something or someone with an X factor that people are drawn to then it will inevitably breakthrough.
I think the odds are that a women will eventually come through in boxing who will have an X Factor and probably like Rousey it will take someone who is just knocking everyone out and some other factors going for her and will become box office, yes I believe that.
I think that if a Hot sexy female boxer came out of nowhere with a good exciting style and personality that would blow up woman's boxing especially if she became champion knocking everybody out and having a good run.
If a promoter picked the right women for their stable. Someone with KO power, talented, good looking and English speaking.
Ronda has had millions of dollars pumped behind her as a marketing machine, its a shame someone like Holm had to migrate to UFC because womens boxing couldn't give her the purses and recognition that she deserved.
