    If you want Mayweather's draw power to be defined as drawing people to come see him lose then i would say his draw power is pretty big.

    But as far as drawing people to see him because he is exciting and puts on a show. It is pretty damn small
    That is why Mayweather has a higher KO% than Margarito. While Mayweather is the smaller guy and Margarito is the bigger guy

      Hatton/Mayweather outsold Oscar-Pacman worldwide. And it was Hatton first PPV

        Name Hatton's non-FMJ pay per views (in the US). Hatton-Collazo wasn't sold out. Hatton-Castillo wasn't sold out. Hatton-Malignaggi was on free HBO. Why was Hatton-Mayweather a HUGE fight, then? Why?

        Name Gatti's non-FMJ pay per views.

        Name Judah's biggest PPV.

        Name Delahoya's biggest fight?


        All coincidence....right?

          What about the Fights Floyd headlines.. Has he ever "headlined" a PPV??

          Before he fought Gatti.. the man was virtually invisible..

          Floyd's Biggest fights have all been against ALREADY established TV stars..

          I think his drawing power is limited to the man in front of him..

          I also think a sizable chunk of the Boxing public has lost interest in him...
