    It only got hype and good numbers because of the Mexican American angle.

    And Vitali vs Sosnowski had the Polish angle, Wladimir vs Haye had the British angle, Vitali vs Solis had the Cuban angle and all have made big money were you like it or not.:tong

    There's no interest because nobody expects DelBoy to do anything but be on the recieving end of a brutal KO >>>>> When Chisora knocks Vitali out the media will be all over him like a rash quicker than you can say Audley Harrison :deal

    Man they all made chump change to Manny, PBF and what Lennox use to do. You claimed in an earlier thread that the bros made 35 mill in 2 fights but forbes and other sources say that big V make Around 8 mill a fight. Pac makes 3 time that and PBF makes almost 5 . . . chump change

    Part of the story..the whole story was it was Vitali fighting a live American contender in a major American city. If this happened more often, I don't think Vitali or even Wlad for that matter would be quite off the American media's radar.

    I highly doubt Stallone, Arnold, and hollywood elite are huge Arreola fanboys, that come out to all his fights for support. They came to see a Heavyweight Title fight in their backyard.

    Forbes is a joke. Like all the other Western media, Forbes doesnt want to promote the name Klitschko, Vitali made (according to every boxing website) 15 million each for his last two fights.
    That's 30 million in 2012, more than the highest paid NFL or NBA players.:lol:

    Arrealo was a higher profile fight therefor it drew in celebs. Fans Are craving exciting Heavyweight boxing . . . Unfortunately they ain't gonna get it in a long long time. No one on this board can tell me if the Bros fought like Tyson that they would not be Big in North America.:deal

    Are you directing one of your minions to put a noose around my neck oh great Imperial Grand Wizard?

    I am sorry but you guys in the Klit Klan Kovenant Hate to hear the truth . . . you much rather live in your fantasy world where everyone is against you for one reason and one reason only.
