And it's a total coincidence that this comes right after a potential rival puts on a devastating display and calls you out, huh? Give me a break.

More like there isn’t many females boxing at the world level so what did you expect. Probably boxed all her life and now she’s saying the sport is sexist? Lol she going to get kicked and wrecked then realized should have stayed in your lane. Sellout

“Boxing is so sexist. These men are fighting for multiple millions that haven’t accomplished half of what I accomplished but I’m supposed to just be happy? Like yeah, go ahead and pay me $300k and then offer me $150k for the next fight?”

It’s about asses in seats. Nobody is gonna pay you if nobody wants to watch you. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

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.

Momma should have just gave her a tennis racquet so she could dominate normal females like the Venus brothers.

Female athletes need to understand the concept of supply and demand. Your product is essentially a shti version of the men's sport and that's why the audience numbers are a fraction of theirs. When she heads a card at Caesars and gets the viewer numbers right she'll be swimming in the millions. As far as I can tell she's not quite there yet.

It's getting real tiresome.

Female athletes if they want more money they need to get more people watching and supporting them.

How about this for a bold idea why not appeal to FEMALE audiences. I mean jesus christ is that me being ****** or what, that's 50% of the untapped market

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