*Money Mayweather* = $$$ What about Wlad getting in on that kind of character?

    Wlad could take a page from Floyd's successful *Money* character, in which he has intentionally altered his character to appeal to the hip hop crowd, and younger people, in general. A finely dressed, big talking, loud mouthed guy who brags about his extreme money, and belittles everyone he fights......... and then backs it up by boxing their ears off. You either love Floyd, or despise him, wanting to see someone beat his ass.

    How about Wlad starting to build upon his recent nastyness, where he called out Haye, and create a nasty, arrogant, *Cash Klitschko* character. He's certainly got the talent, power, and dominance, already. All he needs is someone from Floyd's camp to help create a nasty character like Floyd, only giant sized.

    If he has aspirations for a career in comedy, sure.

    Wlad doesn't need to do stupid **** like that to pack stadiums in his country -- he may not be appealing to America because he isn't enough of a ******, but what does that say about America, really?

    I like this idea. I'd love to see Wlad start with some sort of evil Ivan Drago routine. It would be hilarious and make every fight with an American a huge event.

    Yeah there's that little detail......He's a 6"5 Ukranian who talks like Borat. Not exactly "street" material.

    Wlad is one of the biggest earners in boxing without acting like a ******ed 10 year old.
    He also doesn't have to pay an entourage to hang out with him or a dozen bodyguards to protect him so he surely takes home more money than Floyd when all is said and done.

    If he learned how to box it would help to . . . oh wait he is a heavyweight so that is impossible since 2000.

    I realize its a rediculous idea, but the success of Floyd's PPV sales goes to show that this kind of WWE character bull**** apparently can work in boxing, too.

    I find Floyd's schtick rediculous and nonsensical, but boxing is a business, and you can't argue with is success. Even if he does act like a mouthy punk in the process, he's making amazing amounts of money.

    That **** only works in America, Floyd earns nothing in Europe.
    Wlad would likely alienate his fanbase in Europe if he tried to pull off a Mayweather type persona.

    Do you honestly think wlad does not know how to box? Wlad is one of the most skilled HW of this era. Its not his fault theres no competition right now and when guys do step in with him, they are just there to survive.
    P.S. I dont want wlad acting anything like mayweather.
