    Only if the opponents were popular Americans or at least based in America.

    Pac would never have gotten any interest in the US if he fought opponents form Europe or Asia all his career, even if those opponents were the best available. Either fighter has to be American (or based there) for Americans to become interested. If he has a decent following in the US media that also helps.

    People dont like them because they hit and dont get hit, not their fault, why should they break a very successful formula.

    Only an idiot can think they couldn't challenge your heroes. Of course they can, they definitely would be underdogs, but would pose a challenge without the shadow of a doubt.
    And by the way there's no way to compare generations with the certainty your arrogance suggests

    No one can tell me on this board if the Bros fought like Tyson that they would not be Huge in the USA, and be PPV every fight.

    The problem is that the bros with their Boring (yet effective style) is not marketable. People argue that PBF is a boring fighter but he has built a persona that has made him interesting and makes him MARKETABLE. His thuggish bad boy persona has made more people by his PPVs to see him lose than probably those who want to see him fight.

    If the Bros played up the Ivan Drago image they might be more attractive and be easier to market in the USA. Imagine if Vitali KOs someone and says "if he dies, he dies" or "I have come to beat up you puny Americans" . . . People might be offended and throw things at the TV but they would definitely buy his next fight.

    a perfect example of what I am saying is Pac. Pac's style is exciting and he is a huge PPV draw despite the fact that he cannot speak English as good as the Bros. Conversely, his nice guy persona is what people say that's what the want in a fighters, but despite his exciting fighting style he is number 2 at the Box Office to PBF.

    In order to be Marketable in the North America you have to fight out of North America. As a business HBO and Showtime cannot be expected to commit to fighters who are not willing to commit to their main market. Fighters have to pay their dues to make it on HBO and Showtime. FIghters have to come to HBO not the other way around.

    Finally, the biggest market for HBO is middle age white males, closely followed by people of Mexican decent. If the demand to see the Bros was great (Given that the Americans are racist ass Mother ****ers) HBO would make the smart business move and put them on TV. However, due to the reasons I stated above HBO has wiped their hands of them and the who **** hole of a division.:deal

    Britard, Price and Fury are can crushers, glass jawed britfrauds.Price was knocked down and stopped in amateur fight by Cammarelle and Fury was knocked down by some featherfisted bum. Povetkin beat cammarelle thrice ,while cammarelle stopped Price in 2nd round and you still think Price is stronger than Klits?

    Exactly Jasper. The Americans didn't take to Lennox Lewis and didn't like his style. But Vitali and Wladimir made Lewis look like Tyson in terms of excitement or persona. Americans mostly like watching themselves, or things interesting. Vitali and Wlad are neither.

    True story.

    They are boring and lack of talented opposition in US makes them even less marketable.
