I think people are being a bit hard on old "Help Me" Ronda....was she pushed as "wank fodder" yes I'm absolutely sure of it. Are male fighters/boxers not pushed as sex objects? Maybe male fighters see that as more of a perk of being a good fighter. Promoting-wise it's a good idea because you want to incite a reaction from the audience/potential audience you want people giving emotion to what you are selling it doesn't matter if the fighter is loved, hated, or feared it's the passion of the fans that puts $$$$ in the bank.
Ronda got big cash and if you're Nunes maybe you're salty about being the champ and getting less cash right now, but you must know that because Ronda set that bar where it is right now, the future could hold even bigger money for you if you play your cards right and if you're able to draw in the fans.
Ronda is/was limited as a fighter as was Gina Carano...those "dolls" the pretty gals who fight (I really don't get into that whole deal....something about the eyes/eyebrows being all scar tissued up and cauliflower ears I don't find appealing, but that's just me) those gals put asses in the seats for the real badass fighters (whom I wouldn't want to walk past in a dark alley). Those gals are pinatas for the more hardcore fighters.
Missy did/would you say the same about Laila Ali? She never fought Ann Wolfe...had she I'm willing to bet she'd have been found to be just like Gina and Ronda.
