Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor Named The Most Marketable Boxer In The World

[Smash]

this is an absolutely ridiculous stat, i mean i dont think ive ever read something so dumb, stick a sports bra on nelo & his fans would be tripping over themselves to get instore to try them on & dont even get me started on makeup

The award lol I like Katie a lot, but she will never be as marketable as fury. Women's boxing is on the rise and that's cool, but to suggest anyone in it is more marketable than the men on the list is kind of mental and to me just seems like a bit of pandering

The award doesn't say women's boxing is more marketable. Just acknowledging the impact Katie has made.

Marketable is an interesting term, she's a role model to a lot of women, not sure Fury is a role model to many lol.

No MMA fighters on the list. Just a passing fad?

Rousey and Conor wouldn't be weird to be on a list like this deservedly so, but they just don't have any fighters that currently move the needle outside their sport. At this point in time.

If that's the case they should call it the "social impact/role model list" but they don't.

Perhaps, it's their list, they can call it what they like.

She's undoubtedly made a huge impact to the sport. Turned the women's division into a division that people actually watch. Not sure many men can claim to have done much to impact the sport or even lives like she has for many women.

Oh this is exactly what I'm talking about. People being so righteous they dont care about the nuance of reality anymore on the left...grrrr.

You are missing the point that all of what you mentioned is great stuff, but the fact that this is specific in naming it a "marketable athlete" list kind of tells you what it's supposed to be.

I'm a hockey fan...maybe we should start giving the award for goalies to defensemen as they also have an impact on the score smh.

On a social impact list she deserves to be above the men. On a marketable athlete list she simply does not...sigh.

People need to stop spinning simple things into things they are not.

Fact is the majority of women don't care about women's sports. Advancement is great and all and i totally support it, but until women en mass start supporting them they are going to be second fiddle to the Kardashians or whatever crazy incarnation of them is out at the time. It's just not what the majority of women are currently into.
