Boris Becker’s image has suffered a sharp downslide, due to his high-profile tax evasion, fraud case. Earlier, Becker was ‘Boom Boom’ for the people; a young tennis player with a dominating serve. And now, decades later, Boris Becker is known for the fraud he committed; found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act, in the UK. But, the fallen tennis star is back home to spend Christmas with his family.

Recently, after serving 8 months of his total sentence and qualifying for prison-serving reduction time; Becker, in an attempt to regain his lost footing, gave an exclusive interview with broadcaster Sat1. However, he was greeted with an unfavorable result.

What was the interview deal? How did people react to the 7-time Grand Slam champion?

Boris Becker’s sordid details failed to catch Germany’s attention

After being granted a Christmas miracle from his sentence, the former tennis star gave an exclusive interview, opening up about his time as an inmate and other horrifying experiences. However, the heart-wrenching tale of the former World No.1 failed to capture the audience for his broadcast. Result? A loss of approximately $500,000 to the broadcaster. What could be more disappointing for the German? His 200 minutes interview failed to capture even the attention of his countrymen; who seemed more interested in ‘The Bidding Room.’
