When will promoters / broadcasters realise that no one wants to watch womens boxing as a co main event ?

Jessica McCaskill v Lauren Price.

Imagine a sport where you can become number 1 after 2 fights/games.

I’d fancy Price to outbox the wild McCaskill tbh.

Sad.
But let's get it right Diouf, Price is an Olympic Gold medalist and a highly decorated amateur, considering there's little to no depth in woman's boxing, I'm glad it's people like her fighting at world level, the alternative is far worse
I don’t disagree but it’s not the current women making a mockery of it… it’s the depth. You’re either ‘elite’ as a women or you’re poor. There’s pretty much zero in between.
And to what standard is 'elite' in woman's boxing compared to men's? I'd say below as area title level.

You can’t compare like that. Taylor, Serrano, McCaskill, Mayer, Marshall, Shields, Cameron, ect I’d say are elite.

Put Katie Taylor in with Dylan Cheema and Cheema stops her probably in round 1. Obviously no disgrace in that just an example.

There are just zero “gate keepers” to world level in woman’s boxing imo. You’re either elite or you’re shite; it’s why Bec Connolly and this bird Kariss Artingstall fought gets so much work against ‘top’ women fighters.

It’s just crap. End of. And I do tolerate it and watch every fight on tv. Just take the undisputed fight in Texas on Saturday. I watched it; wish I hadn’t tbh.
