ha, its certainly smart

hes made millions and millions for pounds by clinching, holding and leaning

andre ward punches then clinches and despite being know as the best technician at his weight and lb4lb top 2 or 3, due to his fighting style, he makes little money to what youd expect?

hopkins grapples and punches, hes the oldest boxer to hold a world title, defended his middle weight title 20 times, still fighting the best at 50 years old, yet he is nowehere near pay per view, probably because of his style?

Wlad clinches, holds leans, holds, clinches and then punches, has a style vastly less interesting than hopkins or ward, gets endless favours off referees during his fights that only make his fights massively less interesting, yet he makes millions every time he fights, its a strange situation
