The self-stylized GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time) has another major win in the duality that continues to exist outside as well as inside the ring. Use of social media by the boxing superstar emanates celebration for a hard-earned $1.5 million gate from her latest fight in front of a 15,639 sellout crowd in Detroit. Infamous electric atmosphere is the picture showing Shields high and victorious, still smiling after the loud cheers of the crowd filled the back, with her in black and gold boxing attire. The post chimed in with a certain air of confidence:

“$1.5 Million Dollar Gate 🥶🤏🏾 🤩🤑 G’s MOVE IN SILENCE 🤫 Then Pop Out & show Ninjas 🤩🤩🥳🥳 Thank you to all 1️⃣5️⃣,6️⃣3️⃣9️⃣ Fans who showed up and showed out for me! I do this for y’all! 🥊 #claressashields #Gwoat #TalkAboutThat #Wynn #honorable #WorldsGreatest.”
And the public agreed with excitement over it. Interested in breaking down the finer points of the sums, one commenter said: “I had it down packed!!!!! 158,000 seats sold out …estimated at $100-$150 a ticket…1.6 mill, I was already on it 🤣🔥 as soon as the fight ended lol.” Others chimed in to explain that the majority of VIP passes would have been priced much higher, thereby escalating the total count rapidly.
The money alone would not have drawn the fans into this one. There was an unspoken vibe of togetherness from that crowd. “I was there! I enjoyed that fight! Looking forward to many more!” said one big fan, while the other shared: “Me & My Homegirl Flew From Cali & Minnesota To See Our CHAMP ‘THE GWOAT.’” The buzz sent waves even through the screens for those who were not in attendance.
Shields’ dominance has the public already speculating the price of her next big fight: “Fight against Ali going to double maybe triple that, Going to need a bigger venue,” some suggested. Another said Madison Square Garden, and others wished for a Detroit return at Little Caesars Arena.
Of course, some weren’t just there for boxing. Those keen observers noticed rapper Papoose making the rounds within the frame, followed by the witty mockery. “Look who’s in the pic not talking about pap neither,” one user teased, while another joked, “Look 👀 at Pap riding someone else’s wave as usual! BALL AND CHAIN!🤣.”
The true tale, however, is Shields forging ahead as a powerhouse in ladies’ boxing. She just keeps breaking records and expectations every bout. Whether it’s the money, the sellouts, or just mad charisma, Shields is cloning herself again.
If the comments are anything to go by, the next chapter will be even bigger: “THEM NUMBERS ABOUT TO DOUBLE WITH SHADASIA FIGHT AND TRIPLE THE LAILA FIGHT THE GIRLS IS ON 🔥🔥🔥,” one blowed.
Right now, Larry Jay, big wins, love, and undeniable proof that when she steps in there, she’s on everyone’s faces. If that event was any measure, the whole world’s going to be watching for a long time.
