BEN WHITTAKER laughs at the suggestion punters wanting to see him get knocked out will only add to the ticket sales and pay-per-view numbers.
"That's the crazy thing about the sport - the more people that want to see you lose means they'll come out in force," said the rising light-heavyweight star.
Whittaker, 26, is becoming boxing's 'Marmite man' thanks to his showboating, but there are no plans to relent on his dancing ways.
The West Midlands fighter was at it again as he played around with Frenchman Khalid Graidia on Saturday.
Whittaker even got in the ref's bad books for one elaborate move which saw him turn his back on his overmatched foe.
It brought about a mixed reaction.
