Are you guys surprised by Omar Henry's popularity?

never heard of him outside of this forum and maybe steve edward's mailbag. possibly saw him fight on the top rank website when they're broadcasting prelim bouts, but if i did it was nothing that stuck out or overly impressed me. he seems like he's fought on some pretty high profile cards though. i was looking at his record and only one or two of the cards he fought on appeared to be "local" quality. i'm sure that helps too.

Henry is a chud, a waste of talent and he will fail if he ever tried to compete with the best. He is a hype job.....his trip back to reality won't be a pleasant one either.

No, I remember when he started on Twitter and Facebook and didn't have many Likes and Facebook or Followers on Twitter, clearly his Networking has paid off, I remember people on this forum use to complain about how he was annoying on Twitter and Facebook lol well I guess it paid off for him I like Henry, I think he is one of those guys that could be a STAR because he has Charisma and he has basically built up his own following on Twitter and Facebook and he also has the skills in the ring, unfortunately he had a setback while trying to get away from Bob Arum and he was inactive for about a year or so With Don King losing Alexander, he should focus on pushing Henry!

Andre Ward: Olympic gold medalist, undefeated, super six winner, super middleweight champion, resume with BIG names, and doesn't even have 20 thousand followers. What is the trick? the stuff henry does outside of the ring is responsible for his popularity there's no way in hell obama met him because of his work in the ring he's a showman. he loves attention he promotes himself (not literally, but figuratively) he also slept with lindsay lohan, which will get you attention if nothing less

He prob won a nag full of $$ on the lotto or something? He is an ok prospect, nothing special. I guess some people just have a certain charisma that attracts others? I sure as hell wished I had it.

i remember him on an elie seckback video a few years back and he was in a casino holding a wad of cash in 1 hand..it was something like $50,000, and he wasnt even ecstatic or anything, he was acting like it was just a normal amount of money...i have no clue how he does it

Omar Henry helps Margarito train to blast Cotto, yet gets a pass from Cotto and absolutely no hate from the Rican fanbase. Sold his soul to the devil. He was courtside for the bulls game and he said he was hanging out with derick rose. He travels all over the place and train with many different trainers. Also If you want to hang out with him, all you have to do is hit him up in facebook.

The guy goes crazy on twitter. Anyone who is in the publiuc eye will be loved. Will also be hated as well.

I remember when he first became Pro and posted his fight on Cotto website/forums (a couple years back). He is just a young fighter who trains hard and wants to get his name out. He seems like a very nice guy, I do not understand some of that hate that is coming from some of the posts.

When is his next fight? In the interviews I have seen of him he seems easy to get along with.

Who the fück is omar henry?

And yesterday he reached 100 thousand followers. Congrats to him!

He must know how to network and move in the right social circles. Doesn't have anything to do with his boxing ability, that's for sure.

Dude loves attention.But he is fun to watch.

He must know people or something. He certainly hasn't done much in boxing. I've wondered this before myself. I'm not surprised. I just don't think he deserves recognition more than fighters who have actually accomplished ****.

I know you're probably thinking he's not popular but this guy is all over the place. Just a week ago, he met Obama. Freaking Obama. Not just everyone gets to meet Obama. Also, he has almost 90 thousand followers on twitter. That's way more than some of the top dogs in the sport who have done much more in the sport than him. Plus, he was associated with the Lohans and sh!t. Dude is known more for his twitter posts than his boxing.......not a good thing :dunce:

He knows how to market himself. He probably also has some charisma. But that picks looks like he met Obama like most people that meet Obama meet him, at a campaign stop.

smaller weight classes and he's not a Olympic medalist So you have to be a certain wweight to be popular? I am PRETTY sure 90% of Henry's twitter followers haven't seen him fight, meaning, they have no idea what weight he fights at. Some people can really attract other people. It's a gift.

Ok, what about Nonito Donaire? Top P4P with ridiculous KO power and skill, and not a dull personality either, with 25K followers. smaller weight classes and he's not a Olympic medalist

.......ward is boring to watch and he has an overall boring personality Ok, what about Nonito Donaire? Top P4P with ridiculous KO power and skill, and not a dull personality either, with 25K followers. for being so popular never once have i seen him fight:spankme: Exactly.
