Who is the NEXT big PPV star?

[MightyMikeA]

Chad Dawson, Kelly Pavlik and Andre Berto will all reach the status of a ppv superstar. Especially Kelly, the things Arum has in store for him will be HUGE.

Damn bro, you've truly out-done yourself this time with the avy..best one yet.

Besides that, I think Chad and Andre are great fighters, but they don't have that "IT" star quality about them. Kelly definitely does, his aura just oozes "star" about him though.

I am to please, budd.


If you think about it it is EXTREMELY difficult to become a true PPV superstar. So many things have to come into play. Excitement, charisma, marketability, the type of personality that people can't help but talk about or want to see for some reason or another. Not to mention have a fighting style that people can appreciation. Andre and Chad will be on the p4p list at one time and Andre for one is very charismatic and has good qualities about him, it is truly difficult to reach Oscar status though.

cotto, pavlik, miranda, calzaghe, hatton, mayweather (everyone either lvoes him or really want to see him lose), klitschko (if he can find a challenge)

Question, where is Andre Berto coming from? He is not someone I would have expected to see named in this thread, and he's been named many times. He has the potential to be very good, but I haven't seen anything spectacular out of him that makes me say "this guys going to be a star".

look at peyton manning.. damn successful, damn goofy.

BOXING = NFL??

Berto will be a star because he puts together combinations, but isn't to concerned about getting hit back.

Wow, that's a venomous post right there, why all the hatred for a warrior like Katsidis? Are you said because he's not interested in fighting an overrated old man, but is instead willing to take on the true players at 135 like the Baby Bull who would EAT UP that posturing old man? Casamayor lost all credibility with me when he drew with that bum Raimkulov and lost to Quitalino Freitas. Katsidis is young and stated in that interview that he wants to WIN A BELT. All fighters want to win a strap first before getting big fights, especially Katsidis who is currently an interim champion and wants to legitimize his status as a champ. Is there anything wrong with that? Give the kid some time.

Mike,

What Katsidis did is the equivalent of Berto saying that he would rather fight Cintron for a belt than to fight Shane Mosley or Floyd Mayweather.

It is ****** on many levels: competitively, commercially, legacy-wise.

lol what i think kat is really saying is, let me get a title (with which will come more fans) and a bigger slice of the pie for when the fight is made... Read between the lines.

Yeah, but if a fighter than you DON'T like did the same thing, you would scorch his ass.

If Mayweather moved up to 160 and fought Abraham and then called himself the middleweight champion....

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

That's odd, kayjay always gives me green k and doesn't call me an n-word Using that word would mean he is a racist ignorant prick. Which I think he is far from, I think.

Yeah.... he used it repeatedly. You'd be surprised who people really are.

And I still have some PM's.
