    I love those European afternoon cards! I actually went to Dirrell vs DeGale and had no idea they were accommodating the British TV audience. Fight started around 4pm. I actually walked into the arena as they were finishing up the national anthems. Definitely down for more late afternoon fights. And more quality German cards. I feel like there's been a lot less of them with Klitschkos, Sturm, and Abraham all being retired.

      Also, what I meant by the comment is that I've seen people on this forum say things like "The card sucks but I'm gonna buy it since it's happening in China (etc), otherwise I would just stream it".

        Clarissa is actually good. If there were more of her maybe they could gain some traction.

          Yeah, I miss those too, they do seem to be infrequent since alot of those stars aren't fighting anymore but IDK why anyone would care where the fight takes place.

            Fights in a packed arena or stadium just have an added excitement, it even comes across on TV.

              The problem with women boxing is the lack of high level talent. You have every right to claim you are the greatest if you are the best in your division but please dont be naive to think the lack of talent has nothing to do with that.

              Women boxing if its truly wants to get respected and paid whats it truly worth it must hold women only cards consistently and be profitable, otherwise you adding men to your card is only so they can help you sell and at that point you pay is now chairty because without the men you wouldnt get paid what you are.

                Its the last thing I am thinking about, I am honestly just paying close attention to what is happening keeping my own personal scoring of the rds.

                  Women in boxing are just not exciting.

                  MMA is different.

                  Women in wrestling are only entertaining because 1. It’s scripted, so there’s drama 2. Wrestling organizations usually exclusively get pretty women, this attracts men to want to watch.

                  No one would care about women headlining boxing shows.

                    Prove that you can generate 1st. Its like the WNBA players complaining about the difference in pay from the men

                      TBH, as accomplished as Shields is (olympics and a couple of pro titles), I dont find her watchable.

                      I think Laila Ali, Christy Martin, and Anne Wolf has more entertainment value than shields.
