How will the British public react to Chisora should he win?

Casual sports fans dont know about the fight, they wont get to see it. If he somehow does win then hopefully he'll get a bit of coverage.

 

Possibly. Haye's name will still be associated with the Klitschko brothers and Chisora would become known as the man who did what Haye couldn't do. Beat one of the K bro's. Still, is Vitali really that much more well known in UK households than Valuev? Remember it's the casuals that will turn boxers into superstars.

Chisora is nowhere near as articulate or as engaging as Haye. Haye comes across quite well in interviews, while Chisora gives half-assed answers and is a nightmare to interview at times. He can be funny but a lot of the time he just gives off the impression that he doesn't want to talk.

As a fighter, he's not as exciting as Haye, but then David Haye had very dull performances against Valuev and Harrison, yet the public still had interest in the Wladimir fight.


Hardcore boxing fans will appreciate him because he's a bit of a "geezer". As long as he continues to take good fights and has a go, boxing fans will love him.

He's not as good looking as Haye (no homo) so those hags on loose women might not want him on their show. I can't see him achieving the same mainstream success Haye did unless he turns out to be a far superior fighter, which is unlikely.

 

This. Not many people are talking about it, and being on boxnation doesn't help Chisora's brand either.

 

I went to Prizefighter on Saturday. The three mates I went with didn't even know Chisora was fighting Vitali!!!

Nobody will give any part of a ****.

 

It will be massive news..

 

I think Dell boy would do well if marketed properly. He's got a mouth on him but doesn't take himself too seriously (unlike Haye). IF he wins, he could be selling Brut come Xmas time.

 

I got a tenner on him for the first round KO, if he wins ill be 10k better off... and happy as ****....

unlikely to happen but you never know!!!

 

Show me the way to your bookies, best I can find is 80/1, not the 1000/1 your saying you've got

 

I hope he wins just for that to come true.

 

I don't really think that the British public will take to a man who has been convicted of beating his girlfriend....its a pretty hard sell.

 

Some hypotheticals aren't even worth considering.

 

This question highlights the problem Boxnation presents.

Exposure is only to the hardcore

 

No one will care as it will hardly get any coverage. And let's be honest, he ain't the champ if he wins anyway.
