How much will the Claressa Shields PPV sell? What does she need to do to boost her profile?

[King P]

This Friday, Shields headlines an all women's PPV card. Ring Gang did poll asking how much the fight would sell, and everyone came out the woodworks to shyt on this PPV



I guess even 50K was too high

Which leads me to ask: what does Shields need to do to boost her name? One would think she'd the biggest name in female boxing, but yet there always seems to be an issue with her. Between not being managed properly, not getting the best fights, and people not caring about her fights (or women's boxing as a whole). There are other women who don't seem to have this issue. Mikaela Mayer, Katie Taylor, Cecelia Braekhus have all done well. Amanda Serrano has had her gripes as well, but even she's doing well for herself all things considered. But with Shields it's a whole different story.

How can that be fixed Is there something she can do about it? Or is it really just an issue of women's boxing not being that popular in your eyes? @patscorpio @LauderdaleBoss and myself have always been big advocates of women's boxing. But I recognize many people might not feel the same way

The biggest thing is she has to do is sign or prolly do one offs with promoters who have actual interest in women's boxing..clearly showtime also doesnt seem to be too interested in her fights either

She do anything it’s a plus but 100k would get people looking

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

She should Try Not to put people to sleep with her fights ... she’s bigger N stronger N wants to against lunch ladies... then wonders why nobody wants to see her fight

Probably somewhere between a 1000 to 1400 Buys.

this too...talking that good shyt is all good and well...but 2 TKO's in 10 fights and only scoring 1 career KD isnt really the wave..you gotta body some of these broads

Nobody outside of Ireland actually gives a fukk about Katie Taylor And shes more than happy to fight on Joshuah or Dillian Whyte undercards. Claressa's problem is arrogance and delusion. She wants to be THE star in a sport dominated by men, those other women live in reality and get in where they fit in.

Claressa rather challenge Keith Thurman to a fight, than ask for a spot on a Keith card. Thats her problem.

To answer your question, she can raise her name by getting herself co main spots with guys like Gervonta or the Charlos

the problem with that is if Al Haymon is behind those cards, that cant happen..He doesn't do women's boxing at all for some reason

 

[WesCrook]

Stop looking and acting so ghetto.

She looks like a defendant on Judge Mathis

Good post.

To the bolded though, allow me to play devils advocate and defend Shields: even though she's in a sport where the male side is dominated by the female side, why can't she be a star in her own right. You have other sports where the male side is more popular than the female side, like Tennis or MMA, yet you still have athletes on the female side who are popular in their own right (Serena Williams, Ronda Rousey). Even in boxing, you've had girls like Laila Ali and Christy Martin who are super popular in their own right. Why not Shields. It's unfair to compare the females to the males because they aren't in direct competition with each other, they operate separately

The MMA broads that are draws are slumping heauxs

nobody wants to see the Female version of Rances Barthelmy go the distance with a midwife

If she was wildering bytches she would be a star

 

[Loose]

25k-40 tops casual aint checking for her and even hardcore really isn't

She should sign with pbc or dazn
