Re: Why is women's professional Boxing such a joke when compared with men's pro-boxin
Quote:
Football may be a popular sports among women in US but popularity is result of certain other factors also other then performance (e.g. glamour etc) For e.g. Women's tennis is very popular but lot of it has to do with the glamour associated with the women rather then their on court performance. (e.g. Anna Kournikova) a better e.g. is women's beach volleyball which is way more popular then the men's sports. In the football e.g. a pure football fan will always watch a men's match between Brazil and Spain rather then women's match between Japan & USA. because the quality of the game will be much higher. It is only in few sports such as gymnastics (as pointed out by one of the contributors), shooting, horse riding, and may be few others (can just think of ultra marathons) the level of performance of a female sports person may be compared to males. Other then that if we subtract the glamour element the women sports don't compare to men purely on sporting merit. The reason for this has already been pointed out by many contributors as late entry into sports, patriarchal society, image of certain sports etc. May be with more time womes sports will improve but I doubt women will play at the same level as men do, ever. |

Mikaela thinks there are more women boxing at her gym than men!

Re: Why is women's professional Boxing such a joke when compared with men's pro-boxin
Agree with Sheehan, women football would never be on even close with man football. I remember also the same shit in my country Croatia, when the first in league on table played against U-16 team boys and they beat them 12-0 and 16-1 in both games. We even had some charity friendly match were fans of club beat those women like 6-2 or something. Imagine, fans who drink, smoke and play football just on small fields maybe once in week against pro females who are paid, I am done.

I really did not anticipate this much gap between the men and women's game. |

Re: Why is women's professional Boxing such a joke when compared with men's pro-boxin
There aren't enough to really make serious weight divisions, the skill level isn't close to that of men's and it's not as marketable as men's boxing (which isn't exactly on fire either). The closest we had to a marketable female boxer was Laila Ali, and her heyday wasn't as long as most mens.

As far as the original thread question goes I personally believe interest in Women's sports, boxing, MMA, etc, is just beginning to take off. I mean it was just a few years ago when Rhonda Rousey was considered the biggest draw to the UFC. Give it time. Boxing is just way behind the times, I love it btw, but it may never be as inclusive as other sports. Maybe someday. Last edited by G-Force; 02-Oct-18 at 02:05. |

It's only been in recent years (relatively speaking) that women have been able to train in many combat arts, including boxing. There still aren't a ton of female boxers, and for the most part there ain't much money in fighting professionally for them. It's more of a miracle that we have any women's bouts at all. |
