    How is it that Murica only has one PPV Boxing draw?

    we all know Mayweather is the ONLY American PPV seller.

      Tim Bradley will have a few more PPV spots but as the "b side".

      Broner was built to be a ppv star but we all saw what happened vs Maidana. He could still get there but has his work cut out for him.

      Danny Garcia could land a few ppvs but will need a good supporting cast. Andre Ward if he gets the right fight (GGG, Chavez). Possibly Keith Thurman as well.

      Deontay Wilder of the current fighters has the highest potential to be a superstar but has to prove himself soon.

            America = Proven, Floyd Mayweather
            Phillipines = Proven, Manny Pacquaio
            Mexico = Proven, JMM, Canelo and Julio Cesar Chavez jr

              Broner and Bradley were the hopes but at this point I don't think they will be.

              Danny Garcia has a chance, he's Hispanic/American who can tap into the PR market and be a decent Trinidad/Cotto like seller in the 400k range with the right opponents.

              Andre Ward is fcked because he doesn't have any dance partners outside of Chavez Jr. And Ward vs some Eastern Europeans isn't going to sell unless they're Ricky Hatton status.

              Mikey Garcia has to do a giant leap up in weight to catch the fans attention. SFW-LW won't cut it. Garcia has to start thinking big and move up to 147 where the money is. Let's face it, these guys are just not that big, the top 4 Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez, Bradley, are merely 150-154lbs on fight night which is really not that big. Then again Garcia is supposedly not that interested in boxing and I don't see him making the necessary effort to actually make the giant leap and be serious about it. He says he's bored of the competition and boxing is too easy for him, so then move up where you'd likely suffer a bunch of KD's and losses and get really competitive fighters.

                Well damn, let them realize they can't keep making PPVs for BS fights. Let boxing gain more fans on cable television.
