He is the man. But he's not the type to put himself out there to be a cross-over star.
His previous promoter was fairly poor though. Also Khan is medalist at the Olympics and Haye is now a heavyweight which is still the glamour division for the casual British sports fan). Both guys are fairly gregarious and witty (in Haye's case) and put themselves out there.
Nobody is interested in Brook in the wider context. But Eddie Hearn is promoting him well now and he is fighting at world-level now and on skysports at prime-time.
Tyson Fury, however, is popular now. Ironically, Froch's crappy former promoter is doing a great job with him. He is fighting on terrestrial T.V.
The Olympics will spawn at least 2-3 boxers who will be hyped to the rafters though.
