Women's Boxing/Female fight game ever gonna be good/big?

Did they just announce this the other day? They need to promote Claressa more, she could be that *star* https://www.soloboxeo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Claressa-Shields-y-Nikki-Adler-651x450.jpg

You know, I think a big part of this is that sports in general are all marketed towards men and men compose the vast majority of the viewership. If there were millions more females interested in these sports they could probably identify with women's sports better and grow all of those sports to make them much bigger. But men usually just watch women's sports for the pretty women :) I genuinely watch for the compelling stories/personalities more so than for the sex-appeal. There are other sources, or "hubs," for that. The fights have to deliver too, of course.

:rofl: :rofl: y'all got me dying

hes still a cvnt. :rofl: :rofl:

You two made up? Sh*t brought a damn tear to my eye https://media.tenor.com/images/736f6d6f0eeccd18cf26cd4b79c272a9/tenor.gif

I hope so, but boxing snobs don't take it seriously enough.

plus they wear tops. I lol'd :lol1:

Boxing is way behind MMA and Kickboxing at his point as far as the girls go.

The problem is that it's overshadowed by the WMMA which is actually popular and interesting to watch. Of course one the main appeals to WMMA is the apparel they wear is more revealing and thus appeals to a male dominated audience. Plus the rounds are shorter. No one wants to watch 10 round Womens boxing fights between ugly women... If you're ugly you better be a Mike Tyson type that takes out fighters in 1 to 2 rounds.

Everyone's forgetting the true pioneeer of Women's MMA: Gina Carano http://nocoastbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/gina-in-the-ring.jpg Marloes Coenen = True Pioneer of WMMA https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/gitalia.cdn/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/05201634/130712125707-marloes-coenen-single-image-cut.jpg (debuted in 2000, 6 years before Gina) But Gina is next level as far as sex-appeal goes. She's the exception, if anything. She's hot by any standard, not just "hot for a fighter."

Women should just **** off from combat sports altogether They're so damn bad is comical. Not their fault, though. women are just physically inferior compared to men, SHOCKINGLY inferior. not only in the strenght dept, in EVERY possible dept, reflexes, speed, dexterity, you name it I have no interest in watching women competing in MMA when I know the lowest ranked male bum in the UFC would wipe the floor with all of them effortlessly

You had me at "Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate sit face..." :rofl: Again I don't know MMA but Miesha Tate is one of my favorites :D http://news.mawarriors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/mma.unowp-contentuploads201605Miesha-Tate-Ass-2-e4d5b8a936f4d69ced2a6b590b35526a9b20ffbb.jpg Meisha Tate -- some of the most epic displays of heart in MMA history.. in victory and defeat... Down 3 rounds, with time running out in the final round... Let her arm be twisted and torn before tapping out.. http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/675/200/hi-res-6053624_crop_north.jpg?1387912660&w=630&h=420

All I'm sayin is... Rousey http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/42895f47f91a2b39f98f20388e758486 Cyborg https://extra.globo.com/incoming/3594152-e4a-c27/w444h250-PROP/extra_cyborg.jpg Joanna http://img.dcaravan.com/upload/7/00/70042e488e0a448df8146e3b1cd26028.png I'm not into MMA but I'd watch them fight :) It doesn't hurt to be good looking... (see: Gina Carano, Paige VanZant, Conor McGregor, Jon Jones)... but nobody's investing their time and effort to follow a sport just for a bit of T&A here and there. Rousey Cyborg - at 2:25 Joanna

3a) the Rivalries... You had me at "Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate sit face..." :rofl: Again I don't know MMA but Miesha Tate is one of my favorites :D http://news.mawarriors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/mma.unowp-contentuploads201605Miesha-Tate-Ass-2-e4d5b8a936f4d69ced2a6b590b35526a9b20ffbb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/h5Wu2.jpg

Nope, Boxing is the Gentlemen's Sport. This and jay's answer are the real reason. Boxing as a look is far more manly than MMA. (Staying on your feet at all costs, restricting combat to punching, etc). MMA looks far more womanly (kicking, grabbing, groundwork, fightwear, etc) All of this is in accordance to traditional gender roles/stereotypes.

3a) the Rivalries...

WMMA is big because... 1) it's MMA 2) of killers like Ronda, Cyborg, Joanna 3) there's a platform where you get to see the personalities, their stories, and invest in the fighters The T&A thing doesn't hurt, but that alone doesn't carry an entire sport (unless its Beach Volleyball or something). You gotta be able to fight for us to care, you gotta be able to talk on top of that, to be a star. All I'm sayin is... Rousey http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1268246.1361318024!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/rouseyweb20s-1-web.jpg Cyborg http://fightstate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/ResNPuo.jpg Joanna https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/11875555_1532038323683606_635957446_n.jpg I'm not into MMA but I'd watch them fight :)
