Comments Thread For: Shields Helps Create Opportunities for Women and Men in Boxing

Top story of the day - female boxing... Just when you think boxing scene can't get any lower, smh.

That's why I advise for her not to care what the haters think. She should just nurture her talent and take her career as far as it can go and be happy with that.

Well yea everyone in the game should be doing more of that, but humans act like humans & get weird all the time.

If we're honest a lot of the hate she gets is because she's black (look at the "sheboon" comment earlier in this very thread.) Those kinds of people are never going to be won over no matter how much she bends over backwards for them, unless she can magically change her skin color.

Thats a whole other thing with US boxing fans & why I think she'd have more of a profitable future being the bad guy.

Like I was saying with Kovalev forever is if Main Events just let Kov be Kov he & them would be cashing nicer checks. Same with Shields. Just let Shields be Shields & she'll do the rest just like Kov would've. Embrace the racist by inviting them to your shows to watch you get whats coming to you.
