I've seen how my profile grew just from that one fight and I believe that it was down to the rivalry massively.

Even now, all people are saying is: 'When's the rematch? When's the rematch?' That's what boxing's about. It's a business. If you haven't got a rival, it's not that you're going to struggle. But that's where it happens. They're the fights people want. Where there's a bit of needle.

Marshall is talking sense here. It's a business.

Rivarly in boxing is getting rare nowadays. It's hard to forget those gems of the past. But boxers who struggle to make it on top, or at least get recognized, don't seem to take advantage of it. Rivalries elevate a fighter's status a little above the rest. It just means you're no longer alone in promoting yourself. You and your rival can help each other out, albeit in a creative, indirect kind of way.

This all makes sense if it’s an actual rivalry. Shields dominated.

Stop crying Saveloy Marshall

All up to Shields. If she can draw with anyone put in front of her, she doesn't need anybody.
But not everyone is Canelo. Even then the Mexican superstar still needs someone with name.

It's business. Legacy is nothing nowadays, so why be stupid and keep dancing with nobodies
when you can make more with someone you already beat? Easy fight, easy money.

People are so emotional these days.

Marshall is being asked incessantly about the Shields rematch, what is she supposed to say? I don't think this girl would do an Erislandy Lara stunt where he made himself look like a fool stood beside Canelo in his press con begging for the fight.

The fighter who lost needs the one who won. That's usually how it works.
