Spot on.

I think there are few fighters around with the charisma & likeability to be major stars, but nobody has ever heard of them.

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but boxing is not mentioned on the main news at all & the sports stations/channels only really concentrate on the major UK fighters in big fights, much like the recent Froch -v- Groves fights.
