Who do y'all think could be the next PPV king after De La Hoya,my thought is if Chavez Jr. is the goods he would sell like crazy,another person i think that could do it is Miguel Cotto if he keeps winning,maybe even Kelly Pavilik or Juan Diaz,just my opinions
Next PPV King?

You made this thread because of the other thread talking about the golden boy, am I right?
I really don't see anyone at this particular point and time that can be as popular as Oscar. I mean someone like him comes around once a decade. -
Pavlik could definetly be if ARUM really does put him on ABC and if Pavlik beats Taylor in exciting fashion.
Juan Diaz is gonna be really popular, but idk if he'll ever be a PPV star. He'd have to have another big name in the main event with him to sell. maybe he will though, idk.Comment

Cotto's fighting style says he could be, but he's not much of a talker, he's basically the opposite of Tito outside the ring. He keeps to himself and doesn't really flaunt much.
I think Mayweather could easily be a PPV king, since the fight with Oscar, his fight with Hatton, if he fights the winner of Cotto-Mosley, he could easily do SICK PPV numbers.
Also perhaps Taylor (should he beat Pavlik and continually improve).Comment

Chavez Jr is already getting alot of attention but i dont see him being an elite fighter
Juan Diaz could definitely be one.
But i think Jorge "The Golden Boy" Linares can be the next Oscar de la Hoya, he admires DLH and actually uses his feet and fights similar to Oscar in his prime... he also just turned 22Comment

Dela Hoya lost to Mosley and it didn't do any damage to his popularity. If Cotto doesn't beat Mosley but puts on action packed fight he'll still have fans and gain even more. It's sometimes more about how you fight that makes you a star more so than remaining undefeatd.Comment

that's true u have a pointDela Hoya lost to Mosley and it didn't do any damage to his popularity. If Cotto doesn't beat Mosley but puts on action packed fight he'll still have fans and gain even more. It's sometimes more about how you fight that makes you a star more so than remaining undefeatd.
but i also dont believe cotto has the qualities that can make a boxer a star
not hating on him or anything he's a decent fighter
but i guess only time will tellComment
