No announcement yet.
If the Klitschkos were two brothers from Detroit or Philadelphia...

Let's be honest here, they would have been on PPV and would most likely be loved by many of the Americans and non Americans for that matter.
HBO would probably build up the HW division and say it is "firing on all cylinders" with the klitschko's at the forefront.
But they would still be criticized for being boring, the same way Mayweather is, and Lennox was. Because they are boring to the casual fan and many hardcore. If you don't have a particular like for either of the brothers personality or whatever, then you probably wouldn't watch their fights.
I couldn't care less about GGG's personality, but i'm tuning in for his every fight. So it's not solely down to language and culture, but it's a big big part.
'Comes with the territory.

They are great at what they do with the very little and weak competition they have
Nowadays, you have a lot of new guys making noise like Fury, Jennings, Wilder, Scott, Pulev, Glazkov, Stiverne etc etc. And you have your experienced lot in the brothers, Haye, Povetkin etc. And most importantly, there's one champion. Well two, but we all know there's only one. It's bringing in good numbers with the networks and you have two fights in the fall including 4 of the top 8 guys in the division probably.

Klitschko v Charr & Pianeta is a waste of time.

Wouldn't make a difference to me.
I like Wlad out of the ring, he's a classy guy. Inside the ring however, I have little interest. I think almost nothing of at least 90% of his opponents (and even less of Vitali's) and that's just not appealing.

I mean look at bums like Eddie Chambers and Kevin Johnson. Americans proclaim them as world class fighters but they're str8 bums.
Imagine the Klitschkos?
At least think up a better lie and say we pretended Sam Peter was American or something.
