Bob Arum sparks Huge controversy. Says ‘nobody cares about women’s boxing’

[Kzbox]

If you dislike it don't watch it or worry about. Let the people that do worry about etc.

Well we can have an opinion it mate that's the point of posting the thread. I would avoid it completely if they wern't forcing it on main cards of mens fighting. Only thing that annoys me is how they compare it to mens boxing it's not in the same league. It's like little league vs major league just makes me laugh that's all.

Pink Tyson stole the show last night, you're a hater!

I thought she's kinda cute.

He's right in terms of ratings

It’s the truth sadly. Womens sport is a hard watch. Exception maybe Tennis and MMA.

Nah that would be a bad idea there is a reason it is 2 minute rounds to begin with and purely for the womens safety. Whatever tails get spun whatever lies get told women aren't built for this and just can't handle the same physical pressure as men that's just a stone cold fact.

MMA girls can fight for 5 minutes women boxers can box for 3 minutes.

All things being equal, I'd rather see a men's fight. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate women's boxing especially when the fighters have some skills or if they are paired in a way to make an entertaining fight.

I've enjoyed plenty of quality female fights. Honestly, on Top Rank's card last night I found the most entertaining was the women's bout and Nico Ali Walsh's fight.

Arum can ***** all he wants but the old man has been a hypocrite all his life. Complains about Crawford yet he re-signed him to his promotion, signed Mayer and headlined her yet complains about women's boxing. How many times has he criticized other promoters for things he's done countless times before? What is it Bob? Were you telling me the truth then or are you telling me the truth now? Either way you're full of ****.

I'm not sure why several of you think WMMA is exciting. Maybe on a relative basis comparing it to horrific women's boxing, but WMMA sucks too - nobody would buy a WMMA card. On the MMA forums, WMMA gets **** on also, and rightly so, aside from a few beta white knights. It's filler that can't stand on its own. The UFC has to stick even the WMMA championship fights as part of the undercard along with other big fights.

That's 25 minutes total compared to 36 total in boxing women are more prone to concussions than men also MMA isn't pure punches to the head the whole time it's different. Look up some of the world level womens fights they are already ****ed by the end of the fight nevermind extending it.

I watched Pink Tyson vs. Franseco Pianeta and now I'm feeling like a real Tough-Guy!

Most people rarely watch it, so what is so controversial about it?
