Could Betting Be The Catalyst For Women's Boxing?
June 15, 2020
     
   
   


 

There’s no doubt that the betting industry is the uncrowned king of the combat sports as it represents a huge part of many modern combat sports from MMA to Boxing, it’s also considered a huge part of the success of many events as they operate under pay-per-view model and rely on ticket sales at the gate for a measure on how successful an event is.

Traditionally this has hurt some competition in women's combat sports as the market is typically smaller and as such the margins for this are impacted - and it could also be the catalyst to help women’s boxing grow. This has been seen recently in MMA, there have been some huge female athletes gain stardom such as Ronda Rousey who had moved from MMA into professional wrestling, and more recently Amanda Nunes who is considered by many to be the GOAT of the two female divisions she currency holds the belt for in the UFC organisation.

Men’s boxing is already well established with an infrastructure that promotes growth, but women's boxing is still a newer market trying to grow - as the fandom for female combat sports continues to grow, it’s likely that female boxing will also continue, whilst the MMA market may currently be bigger there is definitely a resurgence in boxing as a whole, with this there could be the possibility of women's boxing becoming the next big name in combat sports as it continues to grow in popularity.

Now may be the perfect time too, the rising popularity of combat sports is very widespread across all disciplines and has recently been brought to further attention with champ Claressa Shields reaching out suggesting that she may participate in an MMA fight against formerly mentioned champ Nunes - whether or not this will really happen is yet to be seen, it’s difficult to tell too since the transition is a very difficult one, it has been seen before with previous boxer turned MMA sensation Holly Holm has shown, but there’s a lot to be mastered. Women's boxing is on the map, however, a little gentle nudge here and there could bring it into the public eye and good promotion and a push from betting operators could give the sport the little juice that is needed to really take it off the ground.
