Is Mayweather really that big a draw?

His 0 is whats keeping him marketable. People want to see who can take it from him. Once he loses that 0, he will lose his marketability. Its not as if he has an exciting style to keep the fans coming back to watch him.

Has he really come out of retirement???

Nah, he hasn't. I was just talking about the situation surrounding Floyd if he came back.

In boxing we all know Floyd Pretty Boy Mayweather is the biggest draw in boxing, or at least one of the biggest. But how big of a draw is he really? I am talking in terms of people paying to go see him live in an arena.

These are his mega fights.

Mayweather-Hatton. I think around 80 percent were pro Hatton and traveled half way around the world to see Hatton.

Mayweather-De La Hoya. Larry Merchant "About 90 percent of the crowd is pro de la hoya"

Judah-Mayweather. Good crowd this could be the fight where he was the draw or the combination of a great undercard it had.

Mayweather-Gatti. 12k plus sold out at the Boardwalk Hall. Gatti's popularity and fight style in that area generated the live attendence. Mayweather fought Demarcus Corley in the same arena and didnt bring in half of what the gatti fight did.


If Mayweather fought Pacquiao, Margarito, or Hatton, or even Cotto. Wouldnt it be safe to say Mayweather is NOT the draw in these fights because we all know just about everyone in that crowd will be Filipino, Mexican, British, or Puerto Rican

How about we think a little deeper.

How many pay-per-views did Ricky Hatton sell before Floyd? How about after?

Who has Oscar De La Hoya done better sales with?

Who has Zab Judah done better sales with?

How many pay-per-views did Arturo Gatti have before Floyd? How about after?

Crowd not being on your side is indicative of NOTHING.

He has drawing power because most fans consider him the best even if they hate him. Thats respect.
