Unfortunately none of them have the star power that Pacquiao does and that's where Arum is going with it. Like anything though, promoters are the ones who have market their fighters and could do much more to increase their exposure and star power.

I imagine less that 1 in 1000 people in uk would know the name Pacquiao if you said it too them, you would be lucky if 1 in 10000 knew who Cotto and Marg et al are.
