But seriously, a proper question.
Could women's boxing ever become as popular as mens, at a professional level, and if not, why not? Personally, with competative match ups and some talented fighters, I don't see why not.

I guess it could, but I really don't think it will. Who wants to see a man KO another man? Now turn it to, who wants to see a woman KO another woman? People generally don't like that. Maybe things will change in the future, but I don't think so. I don't know whether it's because people feel more protective over women. Perhaps someone could expand on my post.whicker wrote:Could women's boxing ever become as popular as mens, at a professional level, and if not, why not?

If boxing is viewed as a sporting contest, then should gender, or other factors, make much difference?Asterix wrote:I guess it could, but I really don't think it will.

But under 18 amateur boxing can't compete, in popularity, with professional men's boxing. The question is whether female boxing could become as popular as male boxing.whicker wrote:If boxing is viewed as a sporting contest, then should gender, or other factors, make much difference?Asterix wrote:I guess it could, but I really don't think it will.

It's a bit like saying "who wants to watch 2 children try to KO each other" , but under 18 amateur boxing is quite popular.
It's popular, for example, in the army.jBacca wrote:The talent pool in female boxing is always going to be lacking compared to the mens. I don't know any girls who have took it upon themselves to go down the boxing gym to knock seven shades of poop out of one another; it just isn't appealing to 99% of females.
