    Marshall and Shields have properly not earned enough money to buy a half decent house from the sport, whilst people like Chisora and Whyte with a fraction of their talent are multi millionaires. So as much as I don't like ppv I would be happy for them to earn live changing money.

    Absolutely mate - far too much of the money in the hands of a few puddings leaving crumbs for the rest.

    But you just can't compare men and women, they are stratospheres apart in every single way. Chisora and Whyte, for all there faults and certainly not being PPV worthy, have at least become contenders in the heavyweight division. Just for some comparison on talent pools and therefore how much more difficult it will be to get to the top, there are almost as many male heavyweights as there are registered female pro fighters across all weight divisions. Marshall and Shields compete in a division with 27 other fighters in it. That woman Marshall fought last night has only ever beat 4 fighters with a winning records (who were nobodies) and works a day job in a supermarket. For a male it would be much harder to get past regional level as an amateur than it would to become a women's middleweight World champion.

    Nobody would disagree with Marshall and Shields earning proper money but the market isn’t paying it yet. Women’s sport is increasingly well paid but boxing isn’t exactly top of the list for nice friendly things to spend sponsorship cash on, so might be a while yet.

    But if they generate the money they deserve it. For example Marshall is now headlining shows with thousands in the crowd, and her v Shields could sell 15-20000 tickets imo and both are better boxers than Whyte and Chisora for example. So I would say Marshall deserves big Psy days now.

    I agree with you. Marshall vs Sheilds is a block buster event that easily could end outdoors at a stadium this summer.

    I think it is a decent fight between Shields and Marshall but it will be a cold day in hell before I shell out for a PPV fee for the pleasure of watching it and that’s nothing to do with them being female. I am surprised that Shields is coming to UK as from what I have seen Marshall has major advantage of power and height and coupled with home advantage it will be a tough ask for the light punching Shields to overcome. Maybe Clarissa is delusional or Shalom has promised her mega bucks ?
