is being an exciting fighter mean automatic money???

[jabsRstiff]

The art of boxing is to hit and not be hit. Some fighters can do that and still be exciting. An example of that is Floyd Mayweather but others like Bernard Hopkins arn't. With a guy like Hopkins you have to appreciate how good he is at winning rounds, not how exciting he is to watch.

.....& that is accepted & appreciated by people who follow boxing very closely.
But, a style like that has zero appeal to a casual fan. If they saw a Hopkins fight from the past few years, they won't be too interested in ever seeing him fight again.

what if u aint all that good but u got a really exciting style can that still be a money maker. i mean ppl come to see u cause your entertaining and probably also to ko u

You may be popular in the short term with an exciting style but learning a good defense and being able to box will enable you to have a longer career and make a lot of money in the long run.

You also need to win. If you're exciting but have a losing record and get crushed by every decent fighter you face, you're not going to make much noise.

Crowds are highly drawn to undefeated fighters, if you don't even watch boxing I think you'd go "Wow, this guy should be fun to watch" when looking at Mayweather's record. 32-26-6 looks like a bum's record to the average person, which it pretty much is technically.
