"Fedor is learning some English, he is working on it. He will definitely be speaking some more English, you will see that. That won’t be a problem at all. He’s conscious of [needing] English to reach out to the fans.

But in America if you are a great fighter and you put on a great fight, I don’t think it matters that you don’t speak English. I’ve worked with Manny Pacquiao several times and he doesn’t speak great English but he’s a great fighter and people still love to see him fight.... People watch fighters to fight, not to talk."

24/7 on HBO wouldn’t have worked as well if Manny didn’t speak English. It’s not about just being a great fighter, it’s about being marketable. And you’re not marketable if people can’t understand what the hell you’re saying.
