If Bradley and Ward were showier outside the ring, would they get more love?

Ward is way more clever than PBF!!! it is true people like over the top celeb,s

 

floyd has just the right amount of animation and abrasiveness....bradley and ward are pretty naturally laid back cats....floyd can get a little more animated and hyper which sort of helped sell the character he wanted to.....i dont think ward and bradley could pull it off if they both went back 10 years and did exactly what floyd did....floyd has a little bit more of the "it" factor

 

its not who they are. if they talked sum **** and ran there mouth there ratings would go up

 

Yep, it's all about persona. Bradley and Ward talk too nicely.

 

I had no idea they don't acts like total ****s in strip clubs.
Mayweather was a dreadful bore too.

I just don't know what the standards are any more. I don't know what good fighters are supposed to look like inside the ring, nevermind outside, these days.
I'm an old man. People telling me Drake is Hip-Hop and Andre Ward is an elite-level boxing marvel and I'm still here listening to Death Certificate and rating Pernell Whitaker. But however hard I try I swear the new stuff is sh!t.
Yeah, but it is though.

 

Fury might be the last great fighter. The last great heavyweight.
And he looks like utter sh!t !! NO SKILLS and doesn't even train. Can he even train without PEDs? he's mentally weak, anyone with a heart feels compassion for him, everyone except hateful gays and zionists. Because he's so pathetic, we pity him, the heavyweight champion of the world. We're glad he has such a loving wife and kids to see him through. Poor man. He did cocaine about three times and that was his career gone. I remember we used to do acid all week and we still got up for work, and we had no chance in a boxing ring even against someone like Wimpy Halstead. The standards are lower now.
But it's hard to know what we're looking at. (and not because of the acid, though that didn't help).
Fury obviously GOAT but he's not even an athlete.
This isn't like the days of my father's generation, when Muhammad Ali took on the Viet Cong and won.

The first time I saw Andre Ward fight he was wearing white gloves, and they were fookin' massive. That says it all right there.

 

They might get more love, but they might also get more hate depending on how they chose to conduct themselves. Hate isn't necessarily a bad thing though as both Mayweather and Ali can attest. If people buy tickets and PPVs to see you win or lose it makes no difference. Popularity is popularity. Interest is interest.

 

It's the wrestling effect of seeing an over the top personality and cheering or jeering.
PBF had a solid fan base but not a base that paid to see him and hate him. He maybe had 300,000 half way true fans, but Money May has millions of paid fans/haters. No matter who he fought it sold. Even Tyson and Oscar had off PPVs. Manny struggled to sell Clottey at his height of 600,000, Money sold an Ortiz fight to 1.5 million people.
