All I know is it's giving womens boxing a profile , an opportunity for women to perform to a mass audience which they have been craving ( and deserve by the way) , but I don't see any female entrepreneurs and promoters investing their time and money to help female fighters breakthrough on a consistent basis because they know there is really no market in the mainstream, come on ladies help the men sell and believe in your gender to show women can fight and be worthy of more TV time. Do not expect men to do it on their own ..

How do females 'deserve' to perform to a mass audience just because they are females? The vast majority of male boxers (who are infinitely more skilled and have put more time into the sport) never make it and never get to perform in front of mass audiences.

Most people view their boxing as inferior, and rightfully so, and therefore the audience just isn't there. It's the sad truth but people want to see the best fight the best in general, and females suck ass compared to the men - and that sounds harsh but it's the truth.

I don't care if it hurts someone's feelings, but I'm not gonna tell a guy with one leg that he can beat Usain Bolt in a 100m sprint - even if there are cries of discrimination and 'anti-disablement' - nor am I gonna say the one legged guy 'deserves' to be watched by a mass audience when there is a much superior product out there

How much you betting? I might do the same and take your word for it.
