Who cares? This doesn’t make the card any worse. If you’re there Or watch for that You need to sort your head out. How does it make you gain weight? It’s the unfertilised egg and lining of uterus falliNg out isn’t it. Couple of grams lost probably. Might make them gain weight because it’s an excuse for them to eat crap and be angry. Stop the pandering. She’s full of it.
She's not "universally disliked". She actually has a lot of fans (somehow). It would be good to see her lose. Is her opponent any good?
Her opponent for the fight looks bang up for this in fairness to her. I think Tasha Jonas speaks sense as regards to the issue raised by Courtenay- although everyone is different it seems like a very strange excuse.
This content is protected Claressa Shields & Sandy Ryan both now agreeing it’s bullsh*t not looking good for Shannon here is it… incredible that the whole of women’s boxing has come out against her! Posts doing the rounds that she was getting bladdered at the AJ fight
Not a fan of the self proclaimed "GWOAT" but the fact she calling BS on this is actually turning me in to a little bit of a fan. I'm warming to her.
The thing that shocks me the most is that as the home fighter, Courtenay didn’t just pull out of the show claiming illness so that the fight can be rescheduled for the Whyte card. She must have known in the morning that she was way off weight. Perhaps she needs the dough so couldn’t afford to do that. If she was genuinely drinking at the AJ fight she really is a first class weapon. Other female fighters would kill to have the opportunities she’s had landed on her plate. When Ruiz came in terrible shape against AJ for the rematch at least he was honest and admitted he was eating and partying too much. He could have taken a leaf out of Courtenay’s book and complained about alcohol and food addiction and become an ambassador for Slimfast.
Just finished watching the behind the scenes video of the press conference. Mitchell has that quiet confidence, while it's the same old stuff from Shannon "Cool.calm.collected. blessed to be here" etc. At that point she will have known she wasn't making weight. A handy rule of thumb is the more a fighter uses the word blessed, the bigger a weapon they are.
Yeah I agree. I think it's the money, apparently she was on insta 2 weeks ago selling AJ tickets for a "Friend" at 5x the face value, she made stubhub look reasonable. I just can't believe Hearn hasn't cut her loose now, she hasn't got a fanbase, she doesn't interact with fans on social media because they don't like her, she's had the email stuff, the tickets.. even in interviews now they turn the comments off. I just don't understand why Hearn persists.
