Take Hatton/Pacquiao/De La Hoya/Mayweather, match up any 2 of the 4, you've got 1 million buys or more. Margarito versus De La Hoya or Mayweather would probably also get 1 million buys. The welterweight division is where it is happening right now. The problem is that these fighters make soo much money, that they only want to fight once a year and are all constantly thinking about retirement. I don't blame them, which rich boxers wouldn't think about retirement?
If we had a solid 2 years with each of those guys taking 3 fights a year, sometimes against each other, sometimes against other opponents, then boxing would take some huge strides in getting back to the mainstream.
