Good point. Maybe one of them needs to fight a Lennox Lewis or Holyfield that the public is aware of and ko them early. Cant see it happening. Maybe we need Wlad and Vitali to fight?
Dream on!!!!
I think the most effective way is those short specials, like the 24/7 things they aired on Mayweather/De La Hoya. Show Wlad preparing for his match, let the general public see him fight. I know its easier said than done, but with the De La Hoya/Mayweather fight I realized something: its not all about wins and losses, the average joe needs to made familiar with a guy in order to care to see him fight. I mean those 24/7s and all the press got people who didn't know jack shit abotu boxing excited to see it, because they got to know a bit about each guy. Thats just my take on it anyway.
