Almost every tv show now has a usually mis matched woman’s main event. Up to 10 tedious rounds of shoe shine punches and silence from the crowd.

For every Taylor / sorrano there are 100 fights like prices last night.

And what’s the solution ? Seperate female headlined / stacked shows ? Womens boxing further down bill? Even fights only ?

That's ridiculous - they don't have a "woke agenda".
Not one bit.

Like a Russian oligarch investor says to Eddie, "Oooh I must have more women matches on equal pay - it's not the money, it's important in these times of #MeToo...."
Just doesn't happen.

Why’s that? They’ve allowed women’s wwe there several times in the past.

What really gets my goat is the commentators trying to convince the casuals that they are watching something that they clearly aren’t.

That aussie was on the other week and predictably scored a dull 6 round points victory.

When she was getting interviewed they were talking to her and about her like she’d just put in a marvin hagleresque performance

Sadly not everyone can voice their honest opinion these days….they’ve been brainwashed into always spouting left wing woke shite no matter what the situation in the name of equality.

The Docker wrote: ↑16 Jun 2022, 16:14 There's a huge cultural issue with womens boxing that alienates a huge % of potential audience from the get go. Lots of folk simply dont like seeing girls hit other girls in the face. Doesn't matter how much they push it, for this period of time it will always be a minority sport because only the minority can really stomach it.
Naturally it will have a fan base, as does eating nettles and welly throwing. The womens movement is forever changing and it will gather momentum, hopefully outside of my time.

Are we really sure it's the pugilistic skills of the girls we are indifferent with, is that really the blocker from us being more appreciative?
