    Putting Pavlik in with Lockett after Jermain Taylor is probably the reason tickets have barely sold,not to mention next hes gona fight Rubio,Arum needs to put him in with the top guys,win lose or draw,his fighting style will make him a star with the fans,not fighting C- fighters

            I think Pavlik needs to have some water on his balls and fight a decent opponent

              the fight is next week man, its far to late. but yea, he shoulda been on the undercard.

              although the currect co-feature is fantastic

                He drew almost all 10,000 of the fans that watched him fight B-hop.

                He sold out the place with Trinidad. Got a big crowd on hand against Taylor.

                And he never dips below 300,000 buys.

                AFter he beat Trinidad, he was a big name in the sport for a while. It wore off, and its probably gone now after his massive layoff, but he's a pretty decent draw still
                lol you honestly dont think the other guys were draws? esp trinidad. and he fought quartey in his hometown. either way bob arum wont risk pavliks record against wright yet. all the guys he wants pavlik to fight except for calzaghe are no name chumps.

                  its not up to him. Arum feels that these fights will build his fanbase.

                  pavlik and his trainers want Calzaghe and Abraham, and right now Arum is currently trying to set up a PAVLIK-CALZAGHE fight for November, as it appears that Jones may have priced himself out

                    of coarse the other guys were draws, except Hopkins and Quartey. But considering TAYLOR-SPINKS drew almost no crowd at all, and Trinidad-Jones drew 10,000, it does take a name for the fans to come out to see these guys.

                    Winky was a name, and pretty big one at the times he fought those guys

                      i agree he was a name but hes about as big with fans as hopkins. and taylor was just coming off the hopkins wins when he fought wright. when taylor fought spinks he was coming off very bad wins. most of the fans in ac when he fought pavlik were people from ohio.
