Maybe if they fought naked.

I think it peaked in popularity with Mia St. John and Laila Ali. They were actually featured on ODLH undercard iirc.

no, pretty much for the same reason really light mens divisions usually play second fiddle, you know youre seeing 2 people an average guy might be able to beat up, it just takes the epicness away

boxing is hard enough to follow as a hardcore fan.

doubt women as fans even get more involved. not to put women down, but I doubt a mass audience of women would come out to support women fighting each other. they can stick to watching basketball and football.. at least the objective is based around the ball.

the only women i know who can analyze boxing are actual amateur boxers.

The Coal Miner's Daughter was the only woman besides Laila Ali and Jackie Frazier(for one fight) who has made anything close to a man's purse. The depth of woman's boxing is abysmal. Until the depth is improved the purses will be paltry.

cecilia braekhus is an amazing fighter but she's overseas and usa doesn't have her on any of their networks. i think one of the german promoters has her. she's always on posters so they push her over there. i'd love to see her fights here but there's youtube. she's undefeated, a real talent at WW. Its too bad. I'd **** her.

Women's boxing would take off if women supported it.
When you think about it. There are more women in this world than men. If they wanted to fill an arena or stadium and watch women's boxing they could.
Women talk about how men don't support them, but they don't support eachother.

Here in Ireland we have the best women's amature boxer in the world. Katy Taylor is a 5 time world champion and Olympic gold medalist. She spars with men's bantamweight boxers and beats them down. She would probably beat allot of the pro men in the lower weights right now
