Comments Thread For: Shields: I Want At Least $1M To Lose My Butt, Move Down To 147 To Fight Katie Taylor

[spazdarn]

I actually like the fight between Shields and Katie Taylor. I thinks its high time Taylor started challenging herself instead of defending against or beating up these part time waitresses....but I won't hold my breath waiting on her to seek a real challenge after watching her lose 2 fights to Delfine Persoon and get the nod both times....I don't think poor Katie is in any real hurry to get in there with anyone else that may have a chance to beat her anytime soon so obviously she'll duck the fight.....chalk it up to that good ol weak European mentality I guess lol.

That's hardly fair, all she's ever said was she wanted to become undisputed and she fought and beat who she had to, to do that... she's done that now... Serrano ran and the only other real big challenges for her are two fighting a weight above her, and Shields who fights 2 weights above her. The women's talent pool is far from deep.

dream on smh.

European mentality? How many belts has she won in 17 fights ? and she left her home country to fight.

American mentality is Wilder, Lovejoy and Bryant etc , Wilder's typical American Mentality was fighting guys who lost their last 6 fights at 23 fights (go check his boxrec no belts to see) and the American fans lauded him for it. Name a European champ who has a record as bad as those Americans.

Its high time she started challenging herself and you think she lost her two fights against Persoon. How does that even add up?

She can do side bends or sit up, but please don't lose that butt.

There is NO WOMAN who deserves a $1 million purse in todays professional boxing. Shields, how many years did she put in as an amateur learning the trade? How long has she even been boxing? And what boxing fan would put up their hard earned money to watch a PPV headlined by essentially amateur boxers?

You can push that they are professionals down my throat, but you'll never get my money to watch 2 amateur woman box. (I can't even stomach to watch woman fight for free) They'll have to have a super packed undercard, and I mean SUPER PACKED undercard of men to sell that PPV.

$1 Million? Lmfao!!! ..........Rockin'

While I think that market value should determine what she gets paid....and that is nowhere near 1 million, you can't really attack Shields' amateur career. She is the only American boxer to win consecutive gold medals in the Olympics.

[DaNeutral.]

Why does she want to fight Katie Taylor? That's like Canelo fighting Lomachenko. It's just ridiculous.

[sicko]

She beats Taylor and would make it look easy! Let Amanda Serrano have Taylor while Shields move and hunt down Marshall

I was unaware of her Olympic golds. But beating other, relative beginners, in the Olympics means only that she is the best beginner. In a few years, maybe, but $1 mill right now? No way will it happen..............Rockin'

I think shes done what she has to do in boxing. Id like to see her athletic talents in MMA.
