Was Joshua Clottey a bigger star than Sergio Martinez?

Watching alot of Bob Arums interviews, he always says that he's not interested in Sergio because he is not a star nor PPV attraction.

So he's not interested in him fighting Cotto, Chavez, Pacquiao or Margarito.

So was Joshua Clottey a household name? Was he a star? Was he a PPV attraction??

How about Yuri Foreman?? Was he a bigger star than Sergio Martinez??

[Russian Crushin]

The fact that he's a middle weight also has something to do with it

[bigcursedawg]

Neither one of them has ever been considered stars.

C'mon son it's Bob Arum, nuff said.

So why not just say than instead of saying Martinez in not a bigger star, when he fought 2 almost virtually unknown guys in Pac vs Clottey and Cotto vs Yuri?

[Larry the boss]

Foreman and Clottey are 1 thing Sergio is not...TOP RANK FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BoxingFollower]

Couldn't it be said that even though they are Top Rank fighters, that he STILL would make more money with a fight of ...

Cotto vs Sergio

and

Pac vs Sergio

You can't tell me that won't be Pac or Cotto's HIGHEST or 2nd to highest PPV numbers.

Why is Martinez trying to pick on a damaged good fighter in Pacquiao. Don't he knows that Pacquiao has been damaged good since his ko lost to Sugararat.

its cus martinez is scared of fighters his own weight n above so he picks on damaged little midgets like pacman lol

Clottey was the b side of the main event at a sold out MSG and never ducked and dodged anyone

Not only was he a bigger star than Martinez ever will be but hes faced the tougher fighters and has the better resume and more money in his bank account

Clotteys career > Martinez
