It’s very clear but sad considering

Why do you think she hasn’t?

Her accomplishments being a 2X gold medalist a multiple division champion and her pay is unreal. I personally think if she was very attractive and lighter with straight hair; her earnings would be greater. Clarissa was shocked that even Floyd signed another female when not even making an offer to someone from Michigan, like himself. Their biased against her, but she keeps kicking ass for peanuts.

I can't stand her but she always wins her boxing matches. I think she will find MMA very different and will take some losses if she fights the best. She outboxes them of course but she is just a beginner at fighting on the ground. She is used to winning but she has been boxing all her life so she is probably overconfident about her abilities as a cage fighter.

You do realise she’s fighting other women right.....

Yes and from an incredibly shallow pool of talent, which is why nobody cares.

Holly Holm only had a few weeks of grappling training when she made her pro MMA debut.
