Top 8 'stars' in boxing

[joesaiditstrue]

Cotto is the #3 star in boxing. Canelo being listed above him is a joke Canelo has shown average PPV numbers other than his fight with Mayweather.

I think Canelo/Lara did more buys than Cotto/Martinez

at worst for Canelo, they're about even, if not a slightly bigger star

When it comes to drawing power;

Mayweather
Pacquiao
Cotto
Wlad
Haye
Froch
Canelo
Chavez Jr

Bro did you read your list before posting? That guy list actually more accurate than yours. Pacquaio PPV numbers shows he isn't even close to being number 1 in the sport.

How many PPVs do Floyd do in the Philippines?

There's no question Pacquiao is bigger than Floyd world wide. Which is what this is about, who the biggest star in boxing is, not who makes the most PPV sales in America.

How on Earth can Pacquaio be above Mayweather?

Obviously Mayweather is #1.

Followed by Pacquaio, then it's between Cotto, Canelo and Klitschko.

What do you base that on?

I'd bet anything that more people watch Pacquiao fight than Floyd, so he should be a bigger star right?

Or is worldwide stardom based on how many PPV sales you make in America these days?

I like both Floyd and Pac, but if we're honest Floyd doesn't even have a big fanbase.

Pacquiao could fight nobodies and people all over the world would tune in. How many people would tune in if Mayweather did the same?

Probably a lot, but I doubt as many. As TS said, 'drawing power, fanbase etc' - both of those categories, Pacquiao simply flattens Mayweather, 1st round KO.

Mayweather lives off his opponents fanbases for his big fights. They are the ticket sellers - See Hatton, De la Hoya, Maidana, Canelo, Cotto etc. They're also the ones that have PPV buying fans. Hence why Floyd has struggled in PPVs with Maidana, Guerrero, etc.

He did good with Ortiz, but they struggled selling the tickets for those other fights. And that shows Floyd's fanbase is relatively limited.

Pacquiao is more often than not the ticket seller in his fight, he's the guy people tune in to see.

Ffs Floyd has to fight on Cinco de Mayo vs a Mexican/hispanic/latino fighter to get something decent out of his fights.

You guys are aware that Floyd has sold combined more PPV fights than anyone else in boxing history? including Oscar? you do understand that Floyd holds the record for most combined PPV's right?

[Check_hooks]

Pacquiao is way bigger world wide than Floyd and its not even close

Pacquiao is like Ali in that regard

Zou Shiming is bigger worldwide than Floyd as well and thats not even debatable

Who gives a flying sh't, everyone knows those two PPV fights didn't make record because of Floyd

Canelo and De La Hoya were the draws in those fights.

Once again, how many PPVs has Mayweather done in the Philippines?
