It is weird when you consider how many of us went to the Groves/DeGale fight for example - and who knows if both of these lads will get to world-level.
Boxing is a pretty marginalized sport in this country, too. I suppose it's all about T.V times, T.V money and logistics. The US is huge.Last edited by Sparked_1985; 10-05-2011, 02:28 PM.

It's really a mixed bag nationality wise in the US, so a pakistank person may not feel very driven to support a Hatian fighter just b/c they both live in America.
Ward does a decent job rallying people in Oakland, Pavlik was doing a great job getting support from Ohioans.. Ppl won't follow a guy just b/c they are good and are fellow Americans.Last edited by DrewWoodside; 10-05-2011, 02:42 PM.
