        I'd guess the biggest draws at Minimumweight & Flyweight are the Japanese guys

          It also makes it look very nationalistic on some classes. The biggest Draw you would think would be the best or most exciting fighter.

            At the moment, I think an argument can be made that canelo and cotto are tied. Cotto's had the better numbers, but canelo is definitely gaining steam, and depending on his performance against Floyd, will probably pass cotto. Or if cotto and canelo meet up, the winner will get ahead of the loser of the fight.

              Pascal is still the biggest draw at 175.

              Chavez Jr is the biggest middleweight draw in the US but I think Martinez is the bigger star world wide.

                Shumenov at 175 is a huge draw in Khazakstan.

                Anybody but Bhop...

                  yeah I know, not a good list at all to be honest but I do agree those are the biggest Draws in their Divisions

                    Bhop got 13,000 to pay to see him in his last fight

                    I know Pascal v Bute was supposed to be the "Biggest fight in Canadian history" but I don't know how many tickets it sold

                    Pascal's previous fight only got 6000

                    Also Bhop is a champ right now so that adds to his drawing ability


                    About Martinez, I think JCC Jr could pull in massive crowds and TV ratings in Mexico just like Martinez does in the Argentina
                    The tie breaker is how they do outside their native countries
