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

[LauderdaleBoss]

People who say Shields would get more KOs with 3 minute rounds are bugging, it would just be an extra minute to slapbox

Muthafukking facts right here. nikkas who really can punch, will just adapt and hurt you in 2 minutes instead of 3. Serrano don't have that problem.

Shields be trying too hard to look impressive. Like cut all the Roy Jones impersonations out and just walk this bytch down with a hard jab and power box her. All she did was try to force a pull counter that was never there. Just kept looking for one shot instead of systematically breaking her down. Shields was hurting her, but kept letting her get off the hook with all of the showboating.

All that slapboxing in those exchanges weren't helping either. How you got 2 gold medals, but still struggle to turn your punches over. shyt was frustrating to watch.

The bolded for emphasis, Serrano goes in there and chops these broads up with boxing ability and power, she mixes it up to the head and body. None of this slapping shyt, you can hear her punches thudding.

She never knocks ppl out. Women aint even checking for her. Womens boxing is a niche sport to say the least

its like the WNBA lol no matter how many narratives you create nobody cares. Her male counter parts just want to make her feel good but the comp aint there and she aint getting people out the paint to act how she does

How did the PPV do?

Congratulation's to Claressa, she's accomplished a lot. Would like to see her vs Savannah Marshall next due to their rivalry, already a narrative there to sell the fight. Eddie Hearn has made offers apparently.

Facts

Hell, I don't even think Serrano was getting 250k offers for the Katie Taylor fight. I think she was offered only 150k or something close to it.

but to keep it real, i think those numbers are realistic, but Shields would need to increase her profile 1st by being a co-main on some of these bigger cards. She don't wanna do that, so she main events for shytty low production value cards instead. Problem is, the casuals won't pay attention to those types of cards. Plus she not stopping anybody, so nobody is gonna search her fights out.

She prolly better off trying to convince Triller to part with a bag.

I'm curious what the official numbers will be. Haven't seen if published anywhere yet.

I hope they can both get paid and come to some kind of agreement. Would be good for women's boxing, would like to see it.

I don’t think she’s a bad looking woman, but she doesn’t have the looks or personality that appeal to the mainstream (basically white people), who buy these events.

Last time I brought this up, someone tried to rebuttal using Serena, who is a poor example. They don’t look anything alike, and play different sports. When Serena came out, all the women wanted her body, and all the dudes wanted to smash.

As far as what she can control, getting so KO’s would definitely help.

Hold up cuzz Serena was like 13

I was told Shields had crisp and clean boxing according to the The Ring WOAT

Well he's The Ring's WOAT for a reason.

But, real talk, Shields looked sharp for about 4 rounds and then it turned into all her other boring ass fights, where the hyped up Euro broad doesn't want to engage and Shields not being skilled enough to force a stoppage.

typical weirdo to imply it’s something that it isn’t

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

She CAN be that but she is NOT that. That’s the issue. She gotta be realistic about where she is and where wants to be then figure out what makes the most sense to do to get there. What she’s doing right now is acting like she’s already there when she’s clearly not, but getting mad when people tell her she ain’t there yet. Too arrogant.

nikka you said when Serena came out dudes wanted to smash.

Take your pedo ass off to the nearest register
