female boxers want to go the distance

Prizefighter Layla McCarter is leading lobbying of boxing sanction organizations and commissions such as the Nevada State Athletic Commission in order to bring female matches into the same ring as male - lengthening rounds from two minutes to three, and increasing the length of world championship fights from 10 rounds to 12. This would mean more money for women, because the amount that fighters win depends on the length of the fight.

Now that we're past the infancy of females being allowed into the sport, why wouldn't the terms be the same? What motives could there possibly be for keeping the differences? Smaller purses? Less dramatic fights? Less chances of knock outs? Perpetuating the idea that female boxing is inferior to male?

Not much more to say here, just worth taking note of. Even for the punch-drunk, this seems like a no-brainer.
