    I agree.

    It said all we needed to know a while back when Hearn stuck on 2 women world title fights and the interim world title fight on and they were the 3 main fights..

    Katie Taylor Vs Gutierrez
    Teri Harper Vs Thanderz
    Rachel Ball Vs Guanini

    Hearn was ranting for weeks about how popular these fighters were, how they are "Stars", that women's boxing is saving his cards because of the quality and entertainment... yet it wasn't PPV.

    This Moby will make us pay for a non title fight between Chisora and Parker who have lost 12 fights between them yet didn't have the nuts to really test the popularity of women's boxing.

    Because Hearn knows he could do a full card if women's world title fights and nobody would give a toss and the PPV numbers would be awful.

    The only way women's boxing really sells is tickets sales in Ireland if Taylor fought there, she's a national name because of her Olympic success and pro success, she's popular but the rest.. no chance and Hearn knows it.

    All the lousy women stinking up televised cards on a drearily regular basis these days, be it for quota or because they're cheap bill fillers for some chiseling rodent of a promoter.

    That they possess some courage or very occasionally 'put on a show' isn't the issue—they represent a tenth-rate version of the sport and should not be on prestige TV slots until there is some tangible consumer demand to justify it.

    If it was the infrequent unification matchup involving two very well established women opening up a TV card, I wouldn't have an axe to grind. But a kid of Kash Farooq's ability boxed under Shannon Courtenay last night—no good look for boxing in 2021.

    Wlad ended up being a top 7 ATG heavy. And I don't recall too many in the yank press backing him after his two stoppages.

    Joey Spencer. Pbc keeps hyping him up as the next big thing, but has looked pretty average against sub par opponents.

    I have never sort out a single female bout- I forget it exists until they force me to watch it.
    Not sexist but the skill level is atrocious just for a start have you seen Joe Fraizers daughter fight?
