Fighting and drawing fans is all about style and marketing....Duddy has some really good managers they have built him into a big money fighter.

If the Tunisian guy is really any good he'll make something of himself. Look at Tua, Ibeabuchi, Ouma, Miranda, Golota....those guys came from various countries not extremely well represented in America and people got behind them
So you agree that Gatti/Duddy are infinitely more marketable than the Tunisian guy. Excellent.

The Tunisian guy isn't good enough to do much more than be an opponent-type fighter. He isn't an exceptional boxer which is the only way a promoter will bother with a fighter with no big potential fanbase.
