Who is on a pedestal? Marshall? Don't think so. Mayer? Maybe she was on a small pedestal (she isn't anymore) but she had looked good in a few fights now and she got a little bit of a promotional push from T.R - that's what promoters supposed to do.
If they did say that this would be strange when you consider that some of the wealthiest boxers in the current generation are black. I'm pretty sure Crawford, Spence, Wilder, Joshua, Tank, are all in the top 10 of boxing earners at the moment. Claressa won't have earnt so much because she hasn't fought in any big fights - it takes a good opponent to make a great event. For Baumgardner she had only just arrived prior to this fight - how could she expect to have made the same money as Taylor or Serrano? Hopefully Shields made very good money this weekend and if Alicia was the B side this weekend, she won't be going forward.
