Who is Boxing's 2nd draw?

[RichCCFC]

Hopkins? It's a name and Hopkins - Calzaghe together would bring in numbers.

[Darkstar]

Trinidad has a following, I say his fight with RJJ does very well in buys.

[BmoreBrawler]

Floyd mayweather, because DLH is not retired.

[Tyson2k7]

1.Oscar
2.PBF
3.Hatton
4.Trinidad
5.Roy Jones
6.Pacquiao


As of right now.

[The Weebler]

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.

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.

Thats bull****. 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.

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.

[Fox McCloud]

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 ****ing 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.

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,
