why is that some fighters perhaps like popular 1980's Hwy Gerry Cooney and North Dakota's Virgil Hill who always sold out when he fought in N.D. and Ray Leonard who was a great draw, always bring fans to the stadium and are super popular, where fighters like Lou Savarese, Pernel whitaker, Marvin Hagler, are good fighters but bring no fans to the stadium..... ;) .... what are some solid reasons.......... :D
theres too many different reasons but
Gerry Cooney- good white heavy weight, clean cut, and came when every good boxer seemed to be black
Ray Leanord- had alot of charmisma, looked good, smiled alot, olympic gold metal, clean cut
Pernell Whitaker- was painful to watch, too good that it was boring
Marvin Hagler- did become popular with boxing majority with a win over Caveman Lee and with the mainstream/casual fans with the Hearns fight but you're right, he was still not widely popular, namely because he didn't have much charisma
