“Why Making More Enemies Then Friends”: Fans Warn Claressa Shields for Making Huge Move Against “Disrespectful Networks”

The boxing world is no stranger to clashes inside and outside the ring, but a recent development has thrown the spotlight on a different kind of confrontation. As fans eagerly anticipate upcoming boxing spectacles, a surprise contender has entered the ring of controversy – Claressa Shields.

In an era where the relationship between fighters and promoters can shape careers,  Shields has taken a unique stance by publicly challenging networks. Boxing networks have already been under due to rising pay-per-view (PPV) prices. Moreover, her decision to dish out outspoken criticism of these networks has garnered attention, leading fans to ponder the potential consequences of her actions.

Fans question Claressa Shields’ decision to take on ‘disrespectful networks’

In a recent tweet, the undisputed champion came out guns blazing, picking a fight with top networks. Shields vowed to block all networks that she deemed ‘disrespectful’ as a protest. The boxing community has long been a passionate and vocal one, and Shields’ decision has struck a chord with fans who share her frustration. However, the champion’s criticism might have been fueled due to some networks criticizing her. “Yeah it’s best I block all Disrespectful networks” she wrote.

This was made clear after Shields suggested that some networks might have misspoken about her weight class and name. “She’s blocked now too. I’ll unblock them when they learn my weight class & how to spell my name !” she wrote in another Tweet

Moreover, the renowned boxer’s decision has sparked both admiration and skepticism, leaving fans divided on whether her bold move is a strategic masterstroke or a risky gamble.

A user questioned if Shields would really block networks like DAZN which are some of the biggest in the world. According to her, this would only add more enemies for the ‘GWOAT’ in an already competitive sport.

Another user claimed that Shields sounded like someone who could not take criticism from others.

Moreover, a user also thought calling out networks was not the right move.
