Comments Thread For: Hearn Explains Why Shields vs. Hammer is Not Bigger With Fans

[bballchump11]

I look forward to this fight more than Lomachenko/Crolla, Quillin/Truax and the Munguia fight that I didn't even know about.

Katie Taylor....Cllass Act

Shields needs to stop acting like a street thug..

It's an ugly turn-off & NOT helping woman boxing!!

[Chrismart]

Hearn is doing a good job with Taylor to be fair.

I've not got any interest in Shields/Hammer, but women's boxing doesn't interest me much.
I quite like the women's fights in MMA though.

What does she do that is thuggish?

Is she selling drugs?

Is she gang ****ing?

OR is it because she's a confident Black woman, who like every other male fighter talks about how she wants to be the best?

"Eddie Hearn, who promotes several female fighters"

If a female fighter just needs a promoter why do I got no f#cking clue of these "several" female boxers Hearn promotes? Isn't Eddie the Katie show & thats it? Who's the "several"?

But nah he's completely full of sh^t here. The average boxing fan gives no f#cks about girl fights.

And hell its even severe if you got a **** sometimes cuz the average boxing fan gives few f#cks for lil guys (140 & under) or 10 of the 17 divisions boxing has. It is what it is. You can't make a economy car as appealing as an Escalade to the average car buyer either.

But Yeah Salita is a smaller promotion so yeah it won't be as big as it probably should be

Show me all the big female fights. Virtually every major promoter has had female fighters. Whats the top 2
10 biggest female events in the last 30 years lets say these big promoters have put on?

The truth is there is only one legit big event in womens boxing history that I'm aware of, in the US at least, & thats Ali's daughter vs Frazier's daughter which sold about 100k PPV's iirc.

Hell man there are rarely even girl fights that are headlining cards. Thats how low the bar is to be considered a big female name or for a female fight to be considered "big".

By confident, you mean ignorant and loud...Certainly not a common trait elsewhere.

all I have seen on FBook and IG the last couple weeks is short vids and stories about the shields hammer fight, tbh I dint even realize Jaime M was fighting this weekend as well, Hearns needs to just promote his own shows and not worry about other fights, out of all the fights going on soon I have seen the most buzz on social media on shields hammer and TC/Kahn buts thats just me up in cold Canada where we still got some wet snow falling today on the 11th of April.

Lololololol

This is boxing, not soccer. America is what matters.

Soccer!! What’s that?? Have some respect for the game we created. It’s called football where you use your foot to kick the ball. Can you see the association?

In America you have American football where you have 300lbs+ guys in Lycra pants and shoulder pads running around with BMX helmets on with no bicycles in sight. What’s that about??

I still think most hardcore boxing fans consider women's boxing more of a sideshow. If one or both of the participants are hot they will watch but not for the "boxing" but for the T&A.

I love Women boxing and I’m a great supporter of it. Obviously women beach volleyball takes precedence and women’s athletics to be fair but only women of 400m track events and below because their thighs and arse are more nourished
