PBF is a clear #1 with DLH retired(though I think MM may have him beat regardless).
Who is the 2nd biggest name now? Is it Hatton, after being on the biggest stage to 1.5 million people. Despite the loss, do you think he can put up huge PPV numbers with someone not named PBF or DLH?
In the U.S.
DLH
Mayweather
Hatton
Pacquiao
Cotto
Pavlik
I'm sure Calzaghe's fans will travel well just like Hatton's. Wont know for sure until he proves it.
They should, Calzaghe is the sportman of the moment over here. Sports personality of the year. So he is a bit of national treasure at the moment. Hopkins isn't a cock, he finally realised thats why he became more interested in this fight and it was reported over here it will be agreed 50/50.
USA vs GB = everybody gets paid
PBF is not top draw after DLH......he does draw celebrities tho.
1. DLH
2. Hatton
3. Cotto
4. PBF
5. Pacquiao
6. Pavlik
7. Golden Johnson..........:D
why even post something like this? fucking moron.
Chad Dawson could be there in a couple of years too.
I don't know if Dawson can reach the popularity of Floyd Maywather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao, or even Miguel Cotto. But that's not to take anything from Dawson's boxing ability, because he sure as hell gives what the fans want.

80% of the crowd were british, so who was the draw?
So tell me plz:
How much PPV-buys a fight like Mayweather-Spinks or Forrest would make.
He wouldnt even fight those guys unless they brought something to the table, thats the thing, when youre the draw you choose your fights. Now if Ricky wants to keep fighting and be successful it will be at 140 and i dont see any PPV fights there, i mean i guess technicall Paulie may be able to make one, but at this point whoever Floyd fights its on PPV

I would say a lot to be honest.
People want to see Mayweather lose.
People also want to see Mayweather fight because he is ranked #1.
I hate the New England Patriots, but I can't resist watching them, because they are #1.
Hatton's other fights didn't do a whole lot (television-wise).
You can't tell me it is a coincidence that Mayweather got Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, DLH and Hatton more money than they had ever had from a single fight before.
Crowd doesn't matter when we are talking about money. A hell of a lot more comes from PPV buys and stuff like that.
Guess what Mayweather is teaching us with every fight that he fights?
That you don't need to be popular to be a huge draw.

Thats bullshit. MAyweather is not popular. His last 2 fights were hyped by GBP. Before the OScar fight he did 350k buys with Baldo or something like that which is good but nothing special. Oscar was the one selling the first fight. There is a reason why Oscar got more than 60%. Against Hatton thw whole promo went very good and Hatton drawt the whole live-audience. Over 80% were British!!!! in in USA!!!! Now whos the draw. Mayweather never drawt a live-audience over 10k alone. He is not a big draw. Guess PBF would now fight against a guy like Mayorga or someone line that. Without GBP, without 24/7 and without a Ricky Hatton who sells the cards. He would do arorund 300-400 PPV buys and less than 10k in audience. DLH made 1M buys and a full house.

How can the guy who never even fought on PPV be the draw. Close to 400000 with Judah is greater than fighting on HBO's WCB. Floyd Mayweather is a PPV fighter, thats why HBO reserves his dates, same with Manny Pac, Bernard Hopkins, DeLaHoya, and probably Cotto now. You really think Hatton-Witter or any of the other fighters at 140 is going to be on PPV, not unless its a stacked card. These other guys that yall are naming, fight the guys who have PPV dates, thats how you know whos a draw.

DLH-Mayweather was the single biggest fight ever. I don't need to tell you that. DLH has obviously fought some top of the line talent, but none of those matches came close to The World Awaits in terms of money. Clearly, DLH was still the bigger draw, but PBF has since capitalized on the fight's success with his brilliant self-promotion to become one of the most popular ever,
Cotto or Pavlik, because they go for the kill... maybe not Cotto if he does the same thing he did against Mosley in his next fight, because he disappointed a lot of people who were craving action.
Kelly Pavlik fucking outright murders people in the ring, so I think he could be a big attraction. His first fight after winning the title is a PPV for god's sake.
Chad Dawson could be there in a couple of years too.
I don't think Williams will be that big, at least in the near future.
please...
if he fights a lamer, nobody watches.
last 2 fights he fought the most popular fighter in America then the most popular fighter in Britain.
He lived off the fact he was unpopular
he's not the draw.
LOL, you're kidding me.
You're forgetting that these numbers are for America. Do you think anyone here knows who the eff Ricky Hatton is? No, they don't. PBF pretty much sold 1.5 million here on his own.
Uh, no. PBF has way, way, way more draw than either Cotto or Hatton. It's not even close. PBF's last two PPV numbers are unheard of, infact he's the first in the history of the sport to post back to back million buy fights. There's a good chance he's passed DLH in popularity.
