    The whole thing is a dangerous joke , the nearest this pair should be to the ring is as cornermen..........a complete farce and PPV , ridiculous.

      Two living legends want to have an exhibition with 3 minute rounds... women boxers who want to play the victim most affected.

          It's funny seeing people talk left and right as if it has anything to do with the topic.

                "everyone will get on board, and promoters would pay us fairly. They’ll understand that we’re putting the same amount of time as the men."

                Someone needs to explain to Shields how business works. If you have a product that does not sell well, why would customers pay more for it? Fighting for 2 minutes is not the reason why you get paid so little. Women's boxing is about as exciting as watching a sloth eat. Nobody prefers to watch high school level competition when they can watch real pro's do it.

                  Charity. From what I understand, Mike wanted to have an exhibition fight and donate some money to charity.

                    You don't know anything about my political leanings - all you do know is that I think you're an idiot, and it's good entertainment.

                      Hey good luck to you, I don't care what your politics are to be honest, because it's all swings and roundabouts to me, but the BBC are lefty twats and they try to turn everything into an "ism" for headlines. As for me being an idiot, maybe I am, but if your brains were gunpowder I doubt you could blow your covid shield off your snowflake head. We can only work with what we're given, hey?
