    Once Oscar retires, Which fighter will be the moneymaker???




    I can't think of another guy that will attract mainstream joe blow fans to boxing. Tyson is gone, Oscar will retire, Who will carry on?

    Before u say who gives a ****, understand that mainstream appeal is necesary for the growth of the sport. The more appeal , the more boxing regains its position in American sports.

        There is no serious moneymaker outside of hollywood DLH at least not an American one. In Europe guys will continue to be celebrated, be paid millions, get the public's attention, etc. But here the fighter with the best chance to be mainstream is probably Pavlik. Blame the media for that one because if they covered the sport more or if they brought back tuesday night fights it would help get more fighters over with the public.

                I thought Joe Blow was ducking him?


                Anyway, the answer's obviously Danny Williams.

                  True. Pavlik and his crowd pleasing style appeals to a lot to those rockem sockem MMA dudes.

                  Does anyone think that a Brit or any other European can be a star in the states? NAZ and Hatton made a splash but fizzled.
