            As long as he doesn't start saying he's a tree, I'm good with it.

              Women like him (from anecdotal evidence) so that's good for advertisers, and boxing fans are a bit of an odd tribe. I think he has real potential to build a solid fanbase, and maybe even cross over to more mainstream awareness if he keeps doing well.

                He plays the flute every morning, feeds birds, reads books under a tree indian style, rides a moped, bought a Prius, likes to meditate for at least and hour a day, doesn't drink or do drugs.

                Yea Keith Thurman will be a pretty big star. He has stayed true to himself and his peaceful frugal lifestyle is very polarizing to the conventional boxing superstar. He seems pretty real and I like that, but honestly the guy is wack as ****. Still a fan just think the guys nuts

                  Lol, I just became a bigger fan of Keith Thurman, good stuff. It's hard not to like grounded guys like Thurman. He's the perfect guy for pbc since Haymon wants to present a different image of boxing to sell to the masses
