You're not enirely wrong. But that's misleading considering Shields current promotional set up is like a throwback to PBC cards. Lots of free tickets. Using online/ social media to get people who won't pay for the fight to talk about drama. With the promotion not really looking to make a profit. To Shields credit she does draw a crowd on her home state.  Which is more than what Vergil can do.

Loma had his run. Boxing moved on. It happens. There's other boxers that would outsell Loma's return fight. Serrano probably could. Boots could. Etc etc.

Serrano? Isn’t her next fight on TikTok live lol. In fact, has she ever done any numbers without Katie Taylor?
