Comments Thread For: 'The truth is Saudi Arabia doesn't care about women's boxing'

[elfag]

you know who else doesnt care about women's boxing? women

go blame them.

stop shoving it down the throats of male boxing fans. its not our job to pretend to care about it.


all women's sporting events are full of empty bleachers. women are 50 percent of the planet and more of them are childless, single and lesbians with higher income compared to men than ever before. they have time and money and STILL arent interested in showing up to womens sports. go blame them

[wildman]

I don't blame them. I don't either.

The fact is, NOBODY cares about womens boxing, no matter how much they try cramming it down our throats.

There is zero demand for women’s boxing

women’s boxing isn’t a standalone product because it is no good

instead they ride the coattails of male boxing serving as undercards of big main events

Not many boxing fans do either. I 'll watch the fights , because I watch just about every fight that I can but for the most part womens boxing just doesn't have the excitement and drama of mens boxing. Even though I think that they should fight three minute rounds and 12 round title fights like the men , most of the time I am really glad that they're just two minute rounds because the fight will be over sooner and we can move on to something better. I don't have anything against women boxing , I just find most of their fights are the same round after round because there's almost zero possibility of a KO / TKO.

Another desperate anti-Saudi piece. Today's reason for criticising them is the lack of female fights. Even though the Saudis are involved in female fights. But apparently this isn't good enough because they haven't announced a female boxing league. Even though there is no confirmation of a male boxing league, only rumours. So she's complaining that there aren't rumours? Oh the horror. An entire hit piece based upon a lack of rumours.

Why do the Saudis get criticised by this site for having some female fights but PBC don't get criticised for having zero female fights? What % of ProBoxTV fights are women's boxing by the way? The hypocrisy is laughable, go write about yourselves because you're just as guilty.

Caroline Dubois signed a long-term deal with Boxxer a few months back, so wasn't going to be on her brother's undercard because it was promoted by a rival. That's how the sport works, which this 'historian' would know if she had any real knowledge or understanding of boxing instead of just looking for something to complain about.

Most don't, it's a box ticking sport for all the clip board wokes & Karen's.

Saudi handlers have done more for boxing recently than anyone

Saudis stack cards

no more ripoffs with two junk undercards because they can get away with it due to a strong main event

[branzi]

Neither most of the world.

Yeah I agree with most others who also find it hard to follow women's boxing. I think the census is that they just don't fight at a high level as male boxers. When I see them just kind of throwing arm punches or less snappy shots, you can't help but think they're less technical. There are exceptions however and for me, one of the most technical female fights I've seen was Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor. Other fights I've witness, they just don't look as technical and it's more about activity level, even with the lack of damage they put out. Those are hard to watch.

That said, the last place you'll find males caring about women boxing (or women in general, lol) is in Saudi Arabia.
