There is no sex appeal to watching 2 women with more testosterone than most men roll around and punch each other in the face. None of those fights were sexy in the slightest.But MMA has a sex appeal factor that boxing doesn't have. Female MMA fighters wear tight apparel that accentuates their features, they don't wear boots and loose shorts. Also, there's the act of having women roll around on the ground that a lot of people prefer over standing and boxing.
At the end of the day you're presenting this fight to a predominantly male audience. So sex appeal is a huge factor and one of the reasons female boxing just hasn't taken off as much as MMA.Comment
