[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 185007, member: 16119"] Humm. He may be capable of earning the title someday, but to call him that at this point is nothing more than emotional opinion. No doubt he's fast, we'll just have to wait and see how many titles he can string together. His Amateur career has already been surpassed. Ricky has a simple problem. It's not just something relating only to MX, pretty much every sport. There is a "look" and a personality all of the sponsors want. If you don't "fit", the spoils that come with the championship (ads, commercials, tv spots, exposure in general, etc.), aren't as plentiful. There are plenty of champions that don't "do well" in that position, two immediately come to mind: 1) Mike Tyson 2) Doug Williams Ricky is still a just little rough around the edges. He still needs to learn some podium skills. Right or wrong, if you put Travis in the same spot, he would be put in front of the camera a LOT more and I'm sure rake in a LOT more $ in endorsements. There is a lot more to being a champ than just being the champ. You have to be marketable. [/QUOTE]
