Wladimir Klitschko is an anti star.

[Hull Slayer]

The fact the fight is on Eurosport speaks volumes.

People don't want to watch Wlad. They're counting the days until he retires.

It's not Wladimirs fault there isn't anyone around to pose a great challenge.

Eurosport 2 to be exact.

the polite clapping german crowd says otherwise

[Hull Slayer]

I imagine Wladdy will be blacklisted on most TV stations outside of Germany now. His last fight against Povetkin was the straw that broke the camels back. There was more clinching than punches ffs.

He was the second highest paid boxer last year.

He was the second highest paid boxer last year.

But he was the first boringest boxer last year.

[fight_professor]

His net worth is listed as $30 million.

[Szef]

He is the undisputed world HW champion and yet is such a non celebrity that his fights are not even on subscription tv, leave alone PPV. His fights are shown on Eurosport for free - which itself is a free to air channel.

I cant think of another HW in the modern era who has been a champ and yet cant even get on sky sports.

British people buy only really PPV worthy events.

Like David Haye -Audley Harrison for example.

Because the Germans lap it up. It's an event to them. With orchestras and ballet dancers and stuff. They don't have the first clue about boxing. Fools love a fool.
