was reading a piece on this guy a while ago that said SSM is not a big draw. to a certain extent the writer was right for his biggest fights vs DLH, margarito, vargas the crowds were mostly there to see the opposition and not SSM.

this lead me to question why? why is SSM not a big draw? he is a great fighter, imo an ATG and has a willingness to trade with just about anyone. you can gurantee he won't be in a boring fight.

so why isn't he a big draw, the likes of cotto, tito and pacman may pull in crowds because of their nationality but SSM is an african american so why isn't there a larger mainstream following for him.

p.s. hopefully the SSM clottey fight will be made

he was in the same weightclasses with his partner @ GBP...

ODLH is a phenom in terms of boxoffice appeal...

hard to take that mantle away from that kind of phenom even if u beat him twice...
