I don't really find Shields entertaining to watch. Fights are usually one sided, sloppy, and full of Calzaghe slaps

She needs to get with the PBC or Top Rank to get more exposure. Showtime might end up getting out of boxing the way those numbers are declining. They should have put Tanks last fight on Fox and then did the PPV on Showtime so he gets more viewers. Spence did like 600K for the Peterson fight on Showtime, and 6 Mil for the Bondu fight on NBC. They should stack at least 1 card and air it on CBS once a year.

She's been headlining Showtime cards for 2 years, had her own Netflix doc, has a movie being made on her life, and has appeared in commercials for Walmart, she's not short on exposure. Haymon doesn't do women's boxing either so that's not an option. Shields needs to start putting broads on the ground if she really wants to start growing her profile, if Shields had clips going viral of her scoring knockdowns and finishes that would do more for her than slapboxing for 10 rounds.

She doesn’t have the crossover looks.

if you had a dominant female boxer that looked like Megan Good or some shyt, imagine the attention and various opportunities she would get.

Nah, her looks got nothing to do with it. She cleans up decent when she glams up, even though she still be mean mugging.
Like breh said, she just needs to start knocking bytches out or at least be in some entertaining fights. She has too many accolades to be giving us these Chris John ass performances.

I'd go as far as saying that women's boxing would be bigger if Shields scored knockouts or got into more exciting fights. Everybody else is doing all of the heavy lifting by constantly getting into exciting fights without a fraction of the promo Shields is getting. If she started buzzing off of actual ring work, that shyt would trickle down to everybody else and people would see that women's boxing as a whole is doing damn good now.

That shyt was such an outlier since that was during the Olympics and right before the Olympics came back on that night.
