why is female boxing not respected?

Answer 1

Female boxing on at the highest levels of amateur competition is quite well respected. There are girls out there who train hard and sacrifice a lot for the sport and have given it a good reputation. Professional women's boxing is not as well respected. The problem with professional boxing is that anyone can go pro. You don't need past amatuer experience, or to be signed by a team. All you need is a medical, a trainer and a manager. Because of this, women who have no business calling themselves professional athletes are stepping into the ring and boxing in front of crowds of people (and groan, sometimes television audiences), and do nothing for the advancement of this sport. There are women who have NO amatuer experience when they turn pro and look ridiculous in their first fight, turning their head, and swatting awkwardly at their opponents. Even though there are women out there who have paid their dues in the amatuers and in the gym, there seems to be more inexperienced bums than acutal female boxers, thus female boxing is not well respected.

I respect female fighters, I've seen plenty of them in the gym, my former trainer Bucky Moreno had a whole stable of them, granted he had only a couple that were really, really good Maricella Rodriguez 3x Chicago Golden Glove Champion. Carrie Marche Chicago Golden Glove Champion and he even had something to do with Jimi Chartrand Chicago Golden Glove Champion and she went on to turn Pro and fought under Don King. The hours these women put in the gym is to be admired, Should every woman box? No. Just like every man shouldn't either. Woman have every right to do and try what they want. Just because the general Public doesn't respect them fighting or their cause doesn't me that those of us that are involved in boxing don't.....Clifton you seem to be in the wrong forum all the time.

every person who needs to compete in the Olympics by technique of having hit in the suitable plenty is okay in my e book! i imagine in the the in uncomplicated words Olympic activities that deny women human beings's participation are boxing, wrestling, and ski jumping. those are truly hard activities, so any women human beings who opt to compete -- are keen to flow by skill of the trials of teaching and are between the finest of the international -- they might want to be allowed to attain this. BTW, very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days's Beijing video games had negative judging in boxing. Judges might want to apply women human beings's boxing will be a stepping stone to men's, so the possibilities in women human beings's boxing might want to be even lousier than very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days's. that can make the pastime a comic tale, that could be undesirable for the pastime.

Answer 4

Because of the word "female" in front of it. It's a well known fact that women's sports do not attract as many fans (i.e. the shutdown of WUSA, the women's soccer league due to unsufficient attendance, and the WNBA being outdrawn by the NBA) as male sports. Boxing, a male dominated sport, as well as other fighting sports, feature women carrying signs indicating the round between bells. Women's sports will never have as large a fanbase as male sports because men like to watch the NFL, not the WNBA.

Answer 5

Who says it's not respected? Lucia Rijkers, Laila Ali and Christy Martin are legitimate fighters.

Answer 6

Same reason any other women's sports are not respected. They're being done by women. Granted, it's a vicious cycle; if women's sports could bring in more money, then it would get better marketing, which would mean more people would watch. However, they can't get more money, until more people watch, they won't get more money, which means they don't get better marketing, which means they don't get more people to watch. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

Answer 7

Because some people see it as second class boxing.

Answer 8

never watch boxing to much but if they are by decision most of the time then they are boring. if its mostly KO or TKO then it may just be that most people dont want to see two girls really wail on each other.

Answer 9

Because Women lack the upper body strength and tenacious agression to generate the excetment of a pro boxer.
