His numbers weren't great because : He wasn't really British (represented Canada in the Olympics), Did not have huge charisma or a loud personality, Wasn't known for being a brawler who was in wars Just happened to be around when British boxing had some of the most charismatic and loud personalities that there's ever been - Benn, Eubank and Naz, so he was always going to struggle to capture the public's attention with competition like that He was for a long time seen as the 'other' British heavyweight to the general public, the nation's favourite was of course Big Frank Bruno who was loved while Lennox even once he'd cleaned out the division was respected and liked but never really loved the way Bruno was
Who cares about ticket numbers, only AJ fans care. AJ has nothing on his resume so far, Whyte who`s only credential was having beaten AJ in the amateurs, a 41 yr old former champion and a 40 year old former Russian contender ["Regular" belt holder].
Perhaps he has nothing on his resume. But he's also had 22 fights and beaten Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Whyte, Takam, Breazeale, won WBA, IBF, WBO, British and Commonwealth titles. We don't know who he'll fight in his 23rd fight, but by comparison in his 23rd fight Deontay Wilder beat Owen Beck in an eight rounder. Beck was coming off the back of seven consecutive losses and hadn't won a fight in three years.
Sadly its the world we live in bud.. Social media for u, people think folk are great now due to how many followers they have, how many likes or retweets etc rather than the content they are putting out or quality they have. Shame really
