Nobody wants to watch Bernard clinch and foul for twelve rounds.
Considering 350,000 and 305,000 paid to watch him fight Antonio Tarver and Winky Wright on PPV. I guess they do. Calzaghe couldn't get anybody to watch him fight Kessler on regular HBO.
He's a local fighter. He couldn't send ten thousand fans from a nation of 300 million to Wales to watch him fight yet Calzaghe can get thousands from three million Welsh people. If Welsh and UK fans had the equivalent market tv/attendance money breakdown and population as the US Joe would do vastly bigger TV numbers. That's because he's an entertaining fighter, unlike Bernard.
