In the USA, is it getting to the point where if you're not controversial, you ain't sellin.

Sad, but true

 

MVC.........

The reality is their are no big stars in usa Golovkin even though he is not American is bigger then any American fighter there.

Only cotto/canelo are bigger then him

Fans love knockouts and Golovkin gives it to them.

 

Boxing in America has been dead since Tyson's prime ended. Honestly.
Fights like DLH-Mayweather, Mayweather-Pacquiao are rare exceptions to the rule and an effort to bring back what was once lost, but USA Boxing is dead.
A star like Shakur Stevenson coming along isn't going to change that. A couple of stars in boxing affirm that it's dead enough.

 

I agree but I think part of the issue with wilder is he is not being promoted well at all he could have so much more fans.........

 

Come to think of it I honestly can't see a genuine American star at the moment far from it......

 

American cheaters.

 

I agree and it's a shame. Crawford does good in Nebraska but it has a small population and the state really gets no respect other than Warren Buffett being from there. A good test will be Spence he fights in a "exciting style" and is from a big state Texas. We will see how he develops and how much of draw he will become. I think Mikey Garcia if he beats Broner will become a draw.

 

Wrong! PBF is back and he's hands down the biggest draw here. Crawford does well in his hometown Broner does well and so does Wilder in his hometown.

 

I think Keith Thurman is picking up steam. Once Bob Arum makes the passing of the torch match between Pacquiao and Crawford I think you'll see T.C. gain more of a following. The only non-controversial boxers that gain a huge following in the States are guys like Canelo because of our huge Hispanic population.

 

Read the thread dumb ass we talking about American fighters in general.......... like mvc said you have to be controversial or loud mouthed (which Floyd is) to sell Floyd use to sell not because he was popular but people hated him

 

It's been hard to sell in the US period, as boxing has been a niche sport for awhile.
