Comments Thread For: Heather Hardy: We Have To Keep Fighting For Equality in Boxing

['b']

Hey I just made a full length psychedelic rock album, how come Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beatles made way more money than me? That's not equal at all, yet we both released an album...what gives? Must be because the world is working against me and is oppressing me.

Male works for promoter. Male brings in $10 million of revenue, gets paid $4 million (40%)
Woman works for same promoter, brings in $100k in revenue, gets paid $40k (40%)

Male earns 100x as much as the female does, BUT also brings in 100x as much money as the female.

Instead of female trying to bring in as much money as the male and thus EARNING as much money as the male, she insists that he be paid less than he is worth to subsidise her poor ability to bring in money.

Also, what about female boxers that do the same job as her yet earn less than her? Is she going to give some of her paycheck to them? Nah, thought not. Just another ****** hoe using manipulative politics of the day to extort more money from hard working people under the guise of 'equality' and 'fairness' and moral virtue. Fucc her, really.

Good post. I suggest woman boxers fight topless like men do... that equality might get them more viewers.

Stop sucking and get good. Simple.

Curing the cancer feminism that's what we need to fight for; jealous, communistic garbages who feel entitled to other peoples accomplishments without having earned them while inventing their own narrative where they indeed have, ofcourse totally separated from reality. Just like "patriarchy", "**** culture" and a bunch of other bullshyte theories that the social/political establishment pushes on ideological grounds as "the correct way to think".

Are her arguments honestly hard to dismantle by just about anyone? But she's being elevated as an opinionator wich automatically sends the message of her being right and the good person that's the key here.

Why isn't there a little people boxing league? Why are they not paid equally to men's boxing? Why does this **** and all these other ****s think they should make as much as someone else even though they aren't bringing in as much revenue. They don't get to decide what else is promoted anyway. If we are going to subsidize something in boxing other than men's boxing why does it have to be women's boxing?

Why not old people boxing or little people boxing? Hate these dumb ****s

She never watched Nicola Adams's last fiight. If they put her and Lawrence Okolie on the same bill that would be quite something. It would crash the entire matrix, if I've done my sums correctly. Terrifying.

Womens Boxing is horrible & will always be horrible

[Buggy bear]

Heather you seem like a hard working honest integral lady and i support anyone who try's and works hard but womens boxing is only worth what it's worth.. The depth isn't there , in each female weight division there are only at best 3 or 4 women that can fight the rest are really poor.
Katie Taylor is a great advert , she can fight , is with the right promoter and will fight the best anytime, the problem in her division outside of persoon, Cameron , mayer , volante( have to include WBO champ) and maybe 1 more the rest are either very poor or have padded out records and are waiting for an over inflated fee to fight Taylor that they are not worth and will never get .. Those padded out records should fight each other first, find out how good they are (or not) and bring the standard up that way. You need to remember heather theae older male promoters have started at the bottom and learnt the business , gambled there own money and taken chances to get where they are perhaps a female entrepreneur should do the same if she believes in female boxing , don't ask men to take a chance if you want equality start like men had to start.. Just being real heather .

Ronda rousy cleared this up, bring the numbers in and you get paid.

This is black and white, she should appeal to her “sisters” to come out and support her/them
