Wlad, Vitali, Pacquiao, Mayweather Jr. and how many tickets does Bute sell? I'd think his numbers are good. Also, I'd like to throw Povetkin in the mix even though I think the most he has sold is about 10,000 tickets but thats pretty good since the level opposition he has fought isn't all that great as of lately.
Also, lets talk about the worst ticket sellers too. I'd like to know who they are. Mostly fighters with big names but just don't sell tickets!
Agree wtih most of the names that are already there, amir khan don't think he has been mentioned. Kevin mitchell is looking like a big gate at upton park, if he beats katsidis he will be a big draw in the UK. To be fair britsh boxing fans are the best in the world, they get behind their fighters whether you wanna admit it or not
He better do well in a New York, don't alot of Puerto Ricans live up there? :lol1:
Its gotta be more than Puerto Ricans...he holds the record for attendance in the Madison Square Garden...that's something to be proud of...with the rich history of sports there...its safe to say that his star power is more than Ricans...I mean, doing more than Trinidad did says something about Cotto, despite those that say Cotto is as well received as Trinidad was. I call bullshit. I know I'm a bigger fan of Cotto than I was Trinidad, and I was around in his prime.
I'm interested to see how the fight at NuYankee Stadium does...did that Pac fight diminish his appeal...who knows. I'm going to say no, for now.
If you count Hatton as still active, he has to be up there, along with the Klit Bros.
Cotto seems to do well in NYC also.
He better do well in a New York, don't alot of Puerto Ricans live up there? Would be a disappointment if it didn't do well. Plus, lots of people like Cotto. He has a pretty fan friendly style of boxing. He is an aggressive type boxer.
He sold alot? How many?
Before Froch-Kessler...
"This will be the biggest fight ever in Denmark," said Kessler's promoter, Kalle Sauerland. "We had 26,000 tickets and we were completely sold out of our allocation of tickets in about three hours."

Floyd
Cotto
Pacquaio
Haye
Hatton
Margarito
I think those guys without a shadow of a doubt are gate killers. Each of those guys have a record or two in some venues.
Can you make a list of the worst with big names? Big name as to big names on this boxing forum, maybe not to casual fans.
