    Of course if you can't win you'll never be succesful.

    Winning is the cake.

    Being entertaining is the icing.

    There are of course, always those who would glut on the frosting and dispense with the cake. These people are immature little babies and need to be shooed away from the table and ordered to put on their bib and pipe down.

    Winning, it's your head getting hit, you are not a clown. Though fans do expect value for money and rightly so.

    A combination of both is the best but at the end a win is win. Perfect example of Winning is Chad Dawson. Example of both: Pacquiao.

    Exactly what Manny Pacquiao does - win and win in entertaining fashion.

    depends on your skill level, of course. If Micky Ward wasn't entertaining, he'd be a total unknown to this day. He lost plenty of fights but thanks to his style earned plenty of $.

    Yuri Foreman, not entertaining, but has some skills. Now has a belt which will lead to at least one pretty good payday.

    There is your answer, people pay to watch you fight, not coast a victory by stealing rounds.
