    Get white fighters from america who prove to be the real deal, its simple as that, people like to be able to look at someone and see themselves i believe. Bob Arum is holding gold with Kelly Pavlik, its just too bad the middleweight division is pretty weak so there arent too many lucrative fights out there.

      UFC is a fad.

      Boxing is on TV almost every night of the week. It is popular worldwide, especially in Britain, Gemrany, Phillipines, Thailand, Japan, and Mexico.

      I don't see the need to get frat boys involved. Let them have UFC

        he hasnt done a great job of marketing him...the only shows pavlik has been on are public access cable or low low level internet boxing shows.

        Arum needs to hire a hollywood agent and PR guy for pavlik get him on leno, obrien, letterman etc..

                AGAIN with this ****? why do you want white people to watch boxing so bad dude? you make threads like these every week complaining about how not enough white people watch boxing and that promoters should get a white guy and pad his record enough to get white people interested. do you not realize how ****** you sound make these threads?

                at first you say boxing is dying and ufc is better because more white people watch UFC.

                then you say that Pacquia/Marquez would only do 200K because white people dont care.

                when is your ******ity going to end?

                  More white fighters winning big time. Come on, white people- we need more than Pavlik and Calzaghe.
