      I wonder the same about WMMA, although its doing alright with a girl like Ronda. It's still largely treated as a science experiment and most fans of MMA don't take it very seriously at all... not to mention the striking is ATROCIOUS. If Rousey wasn't around though WMMA would be limited to Bellator and Invicta.

      I don't think I've ever actually seen a live Female Boxing match before.

      The only female sport I can think of that does reasonably well as far as I know is Tennis.

            Professional sports is dependent on marketable stars. You get somebody like Ronda Rousey in boxing the popularity will follow.

            You need a hot girl with GGG skills and power.
