Yeah - I think we’re still a way off too. It needs a really special fighter to change it. The UFC had it with Ronda Rousey who wasn’t just beating fighters but was demolishing them extremely quickly. She ended up on PPV fairly quickly and headlined shows that had c.1m buys.milpool wrote: ↑14 Nov 2020, 14:03If a woman’s bout was to headline a PPV, it would have to be a great match up and the undercard would have to be stacked, and not with female fights.
That said, I think we’re some way off a women’s PPV headliner. There’s just nothing out there that would warrant it at the moment.
Women’s boxing needs more finishes to create more excitement. Moving to 3 minute rounds, particularly for world title fights, would help but they need someone to generate real excitement to take the sport to the next level. Taylor’s a good fighter and i usually enjoy watching her fights but she’s almost certainly going to go the distance. Potentially Caroline Dubois could be the one to change things over here.
