i was at jlc II and when he beat up chicanitoWhat fights did you go to? I been to his home town fights in Michigan and he had good crowds but he was still an up and coming young fighter.
Now hes at the level where he attracts stars, casual fans and just people who like sports period. Mayweather fights are now like the "it" thing in boxing like How Tyson fights used to be.Comment

I think the problem is american has too many sports and stars to support, They have basketball, NFL etc and Am sure boxing isnt there number 1 sport so its difficult for most african american boxers to have a community following, Thats why Top ranks had trouble promoting Mayweather when he was with them, they didnt know which direction to point him until Al Haymon came along.
In boxing it pays to have tie to another country who love boxing because they way you would be able to generate potential fanbase from two different countries.Comment

Look at just boxing though there was a time when Mosley, Hopkins, Roy Jones, and Floyd were all good at the same time.Comment
