Boxing was on a bigger wave when he did that. Alot more venues had sellouts. you have to look at the bigger picture. I know for a fact he isn't well known. Average people have no idea who he is. Get over it.
No venues dont sell out because boxing is big! they sell out becos the fighter is big! You have been found out and conquered u dont no anythin about boxing and your tryin to hate on Naz, Bye Bye u no nuffin
You're an imbecile. I ****ing loved prince naseem you goddamned moron. Read my **** before you come at me with your ******ed crying. I said he wasn't a big draw and was never a really big name. THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS NO ****ING CLUE WHO HE IS. Simple. Easy to understand. 100% true.
What are you talking about! Everyone knows who prince naseem is in the UK..he was in adverts for addidas, in papers on tv. He was huge! How do yo think he made so much money? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYFNhmTGq5w[/ame]
No **** he was big in the UK. I SAID THAT. I REALIZE THAT!! How stupid can you guys be? This can't be serious. This has to be some prank on me to find out how many times I'll disagree with you in 1 topic. Prince Naseem. Go ****ing drop that name in a super walmart and see how many avg americans have any ****ing clue who he is. I already know the answer, i've brought him up to a bunch of people. NO ****ING CLUE. Morons.
Who gives a **** if the casual american didnt know him, the whole of britain knew him, and that made enough money
he wasnt that great. Won his belts against average (steve robinson) or over the hill fighters, (tom johnson) if he had fought kevin kelley in his prime, kelley would have smashed him to pieces. He had a big punch, was exciting because he was brash and unorthodox, but when he came up against a decent fighter in barerra, he got beaten up and didnt want any part of a rematch. He treated people around him like **** (brendan ingle mostly) and most people in england think he was a tosser. Not fit to lace Nigel Benn or Chris Eubanks gloves. he may have been well known, but not well respected.
No that wasnt the point. You said he wasnt really big. You didnt say in the U.S. Or does endorsing some of the biggest brand names around, constantly on advertisements, primetime news on national UK TV now ocunt as being big? twat.
You quoted it yourself. Pay attention to what it actually says 1 more time then come back to me. ****ing idiot.
