People would rather watch celebrities or “celebrities” box than actual boxers. Says a lot.
People only cares about names they recognize and characters
IF people wanted slug fest, Mikey Ward and Attoro Gatti would've been pay per view stars
Mike Tyson fights were shorter than Jake Paul fights, but people weren't upset because Tyson was a character, he was a larger than life figure people believed he was some kind of master who could destroy anybody
mayweather's most action packed fights nobody seen, they call him boring, but all his boring fights did millions of pay per views
because he was a character they wanted to see
