Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields Feels Boxing is Sexist, Influenced Move To Explore MMA

[Removed Now]

She hasnt realized that most MMA fans resent being force fed womens MMA.

The women fights are actually very good. It’s like being forced to eat veggies as a kid then you realize corn, string beans, baked potato and etc aren’t so bad.

Wrong. The problem is all the sporting authorities are in a mad race to be seen to be embracing and promoting women's sport, leapfrogging whether the respective sports have merit, enough viewership etc.

Here in Australia, in just 2 years, Women's netball, cricket, and any other sport almost always lead the sports bulletin. Sometimes we get almost nothing from men's sport, especially on our left-leaning public broadcaster.

They are blatantly pushing the feminist agenda without a whimper, and I'm angered that when I watch sports round ups, or sports analysis, it almost always stacked with women's sport.

More ludicrously, they are demanding equal pay in a system where you get paid based on the popularity of your sports brand and your own brand.
They don't care as usual because they never listen to reason.

Sport is actually being hijacked yet again by militant feminist agenda's which is no longer on the fringe but part of the norm.

Don't dare criticise or even offer a polite critical observation, otherwise, you are a misogynist.

Political messaging is flooding our film industry, everything, in a mass assualt take no prisoners fashion.

I hope the balance redress' itself because right now, every day the top story is women f*^king netball, women are victims of men, women need cancer support, women need this and that, and yet all they do is dig in and pour out the same old victim feminist rhetoric.

don’t forget the unfair divorce settlement either .

Imagine being paid $300k or even $150k per fight to compete in a talent pool as horrendously shallow as women's boxing AND being ungracious enough to act like such an amount is a slap in the face... She's worth about one tenth of that, IF that.

If anything about boxing is sexist, it's that there are countless male boxers far better than her who never make it and box for peanuts by comparison. Let her fight against men if she wants to get paid like one, see how that goes.

Imagine how much marketable she'd be if she was 10-0 (10KO) instead of 10-0 (2KO) so really its her fault

I have the best advice anyone can give her. Sometimes it’s best to remain silent and thought to be ignorant then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[L. Cipher]

Maybe if she fought 3 minute rounds are ever knocked anyone out

Comments are 100% on point, asses in seats rather than accomplishments equate to more money. Hopefully these same posters apply the same theory to Tank Davis and Teofimo Lopez. Number of belts Lopez has is irrelevant since Tank has had a bigger paying audience SO FAR. Same with Crawford and Spence. Spence sells more therefore he deserves more money.

[Mister Wolf]

She can't punch. Maybe if she could like Martin and Wolfe people would care more.

Lopez is an international superstar. He has a U.S following, an entire country behind him and he’s one of the most beloved boxers in Latin America.
