Froch sold out tickets on the same day, within hours, to the Kessler II and Groves II fights, possibly other fights too.. Is he Top 10 moneyspinner?
There's Floyd, Manny, Cotto, Alvarez, Chavez Jr and Khan who could be considered in the top 10 moneyspinners, but where do you place Froch..?

easily top 10, in the last 3 years or so, probably top 5, I see it like this:
Floyd
Manny
Wlad
Canelo
Froch
Cotto (his ability to sell is past prime now)
Really? I always hear about how much money Wlad generates when you add up his base pay, advertising money for his TV slots, and sponsorships. Is it the case that Cotto and Canelo earn more than Wlad? I doubt it.
Of course Cotto and Canelo make more per fight. They have a whole country behind them who are willing to pay good money to watch them fight. Wlad is on free to air. Different game altogether. Ticket prices for a Canelo/Cotto fight is also a lot more expensive than for a Wlad fight.
But Wlad fights often. So that's a difference. Cotto already is one of the biggest names in the sport. Imagine what happens when you mix that with a pacquiao, a mayweather, Martinez or Margarito. Dollars.
Wlad is more or less the only name in his division. So that's why he made £20m vs Haye and stupid money vs Povetkin. Because they had people who were willing to put money up. When Wlad normally fights, he's putting up everything so naturally he doesn't generate that sort of money often.
He's top 5 at this stage.
The top two are obvious, then it's uncertain. Froch's last few have been huge events, the last one being an absolute monster.
Froch and Wlad are doing big arenas, Canelo and Cotto do good numbers....hard to say.
Wlad is huge in Europe and generates a ton of money.
Floyd
Pacquiao
Wlad
Cotto
Canelo
Khan
Haye
Froch
Haye and Khan? One doesn't fight and the other doesn't fight on PPV. I don't think WK is the third biggest draw in the sport either.

Wlad makes between 3-5 million Euro's per fight - because he's not on PPV. On average Wlad probably makes more, but Froch's last few fights has brought him more than Wlad's last few fights except for the Povetkin and Haye fights - his highest purses to date.
2 of his last 3 were televised on HBO. I think the Groves fight did 800k in the afternoon. He's probably not a draw in the US but boxing fans there know who he is.
Didn't his last fight surpass the numbers Andre Ward has been doing on HBO? And it was aired at a weird time in the US. Americans know him well enough.
Easily probably fourth behind Floyd, Pacquaio & Wladimir
Wladimir? not sure about that. I think Froch is on par with Cotto and Canelo behind Pacquiao and Mayweather.
he's up there but nobody in the US notices because his fights aren't broadcasted.
