Lauren Price (Olympic Gold medalist) - why does she get no fame/hype?

Nobody cares about women’s boxing because it’s garbage. That’s why.

 

She's on the front page of BBC Sport today as a "future multi-weight champion".

She seems to crop up on every single Sky Boxxer show.

She's regularly metioned on the Bunce podcast.

All despite only having 6 fights. Tell me a male boxer (other than the likes of Campbell Hatton) given that kind of coverage that early?

 

Cos women's boxing is about as exciting as a haemorrhoid.

 

I care & its not garbage.
It has its own lane & that is how it should be viewed imo.

 

I think with Nicola Adams she had a really increased profile as she was one of the first female boxers to really get promoted - plus it was off the back of London 2012 Olympics, which the nation really got swept up in (especially boxing with AJ leading the way).

I went to the Buatsi fight in Birmingham earlier this year when Price was chief support - I was surprised how big her following was that night, there was a couple of blocks that I'm guessing we're there purely for her by the way they were cheering for her and that they left after her fight. I don't think female boxing is a particularly big draw,(Katie Taylor aside) but it would be interesting how her profile could get should she be in world title fights soon. I may have misheard, but sure there was something being said about her fighting the winner of Jonas vs Mayer. That could be a decent fight

 

OK, fair comments but at the same time, I meant she seems to be visible at every Boxxer show - sitting in the front row with Artingstall if not boxing.

The 2021 Olympians simply won't get the backing the 2012 ones did because hardly anyone saw them fight. Even the Rio 2016 crowd had a slightly friendlier time zone. And in a sense winning at boxing became routine just like cycling and rowing did, so over time the winners stand out that bit less.

 

Tell that to Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron who fought probably the fight of the year and in front of a packed out crowd

 

Stop being such a sucker for DAZN commentary.

 

Wtf are you talking about? Just keep on making your inane posts it makes me laugh at your ignorance

 

Miss Tippy v Miss Tappy was slapfest of the year with neither able to put a spoon through a plate of custard after being served for 15 minutes.

Completely different sport and event but lacking even 1% of the excitement watching Crocker v McKenna and Gill smashing Conlan last week.

Fight of the year?

Don't think it would appear anywhere near a top 20 list if we switch off listening to Costello commentating on a 2 runner horse race.

 

Thats your opinion but certainly not mine nor the respected Boxing News who called it a cracker

 

I’ve been a boxing news subscriber for many years. In my opinion it was a sloppy feather fisted slap fest.

The majority on here aren’t interested in women’s boxing.

 

I know that but just slagging off a really good fight just because they are woman just doesn`t make sense.As i have stated several times on here if you don`t like it don`t watch,simple.Anyway i enjoy it and in fact have bought tickets for the Jonas V Mayer fight in January,really looking forward to it
