Why isn't female boxing at the same popularity as female MMA?

Lol you have some kind of proof of that? Love the picture you picked out of all of the rest.
Didn't you say 50%? Where the others?

Pick any video you want from YouTube of this dude talking compared to Meisha Tate or Holly Holm’s voice and that of any random ******* voice you can find.

Don’t be offended... if you like Claudia hey that’s all you...

One simple reason: UFC puts their women fighters on televised undercards of UFC main events that contain males.

Boxing promoters are still in the past, segregating the women boxers from the men and putting in their own cards that generally no one cares about.

cause female boxers wear a damn nut shield for no reason.



when they all should be in some booty shorts or at a minimum regular small shorts no guards.

UFC girls are angled to sell sexiness on top of fighting. Go listen to MMA dorks on mma forums talk about female MMA having a looks + talent requirement. You gotta look a certain way or if you don't you need to be Cyborg caliber talented.

Boxing isn't structured to be able to do that really.

Also MMA has submissions which the girls can actually do unlike hit hard (theres outliers with power but not many) which make for more exciting fights.

Also you can see a random nip slip & camel toe in MMA.

I don't buy a lot of the above. It's not some conspiracy.

They've simply marketed female MMA much better than female boxing has.

A big part of that is MMA practically coming under one organisation. The organisation effectively promotes all UFC fighters because it's in their interest to do so.

They've been very progressive with very good results.

No single organisation has that kind of influence in boxing. They're not progressive. They aren't looking after the good of the sport. The promoters aren't going to make any coordinated effort either.

I think it's because of 2 things.

Gina Carano was a really attractive woman and seemed to be good at MMA, so they marketed the hell out of her about 10 years ago, which got it started, then she got demolished by Cyborg, who got the rub (wrestling term) from Carano and became a name because of that.

Then Ronda Rousey came along and wasn't completely homely and was marketed by UFC as this Mike Tyson type figure who could even beat the men, as well as taking on Hollywood, and becoming a sex symbol of sorts, which gave all of the women in UFC (especially Holly Holm, Miesha Tate, and Amanda Nunes) the rub.

Laila Ali could've been that for women's boxing, but she quit before she could give other women the rub and generate interest in the sport.

Now, there is no relatively attractive, media savvy, American woman who seems to be really good at boxing to generate interest in the whole sport.

The WNBA has this problem too.

the wnba's main problem is that the rim is 10 feet off the ground
