But Ward point blank was hyped up to be the next Mayweather. I mean you know how much money Floyd made for people in boxing? US UK Mexico is where all the money is in boxing, so in general fighters from these countries/backgrounds get more hype relative to their level.
If Lara Alvarez and Chilemba were from the US they would all be undefeated and superstars.
