I would gander that the marketable divisions are:

Heavyweight
Middleweight
Welterweight
Lightweight
Featherweight

Honestly, to me those are the weights that really make history when it comes to boxing.

I'd honestly put welterweight above middleweight historically. Welterweight is that middle division where many great fighters at some point compete in.

Light Heavyweight is also pretty exciting right now with B-Hop, Dawson, Pascal, Cloud and others.
