    Who is the biggest PPV draw between 168 and 175 lbs?

      Only Chavez Jr. has been on PPV, American PPV at least, but his loss to Martinez and his overall lackluster career and notoriously bad training history have hurt his marketability IMO. Ward-Chavez would be extremely lucky to hit 250k, and who would actually pay for that mismatch? Even a lot of Mexicans have given up on Jr.

        Soon to be Kovalev or Stevenson. Whichever one beats the other, then a Kovalev/Stevenson vs. Ward PPV would be sick.

          Easily Jr which is sad because he is without any talent or skill, he is like an average Joe in terms of ability who the boxing biz sets up with the best training, promotion, and every other advantage because for whatever reason gullible Mexican fans want to see him.

            Mikkel Kessler has generated the largest PPV revenue by a fair margin.

                It's a great fight for us hardcore boxing fans, but the question at hand is which fight would sell the most PPVs. That PPV would bomb in terms of sells in the US.

                  HBO needs to get the hype train rolling with either Kovalev or Stevenson like they're doing with GGG.

                    Oups. I didn't notice the US bit. In that case it's JCCJR potentially.
