    Paulie knows his shlt. I'm gonna agree with what he said after the fight. Not really ppv stars but there will be ppv match ups. Enough talented guys out there to make big fights. But someone like floyd and pac strictly fighting on ppv? I doubt it

      Definitely Wilder and GGG. More so Wilder because people love HW's and he could fight some scrubs and still get on PPV.

        This. I can't really complain since I've never paid, but I'm tired of the "he's not a PPV attraction" excuse, or wanting to fight a piece of garbage like Chavez Jr. because supposedly he's a PPV draw.

          If Wilder fights scrubs on PPV I hope Wlad starts coming out talking trash.

          To me Wilder isn't a Heavyweight champion whatsoever. He's just the next best guy in line to challenge the throne.

          Although I fully support Wlad fighting Fury next. #Team2fast

            Once Floyd and Pac are gone, Canelo will be the biggest boxing PPV star. If they make Canelo vs Cotto it will launch him to stardom I think.

            Keith Thurman, Terrence Crawford maybe, Wilder is he can stay unbeaten will be a PPV guy because HWs are easy to sell. Golovkin is certainly entertaining but will there ever be big enough fighters around his weight to get his name big enough for PPV???

              I hope we don't get PPV stars as such. I'd rather just see good fights and if a matchup comes into fruition that is a PPV fight and people are willing to pay then that's ok.

              I know Floyd is a huge name and a fight like Floyd v Canelo/Pacquiao/Cotto should rightfully be PPV, but Floyd v Guerrero...i don't think it should be but he gets huge money so they had to claw it back some way. What i mean is we shouldn't be looking for a PPV star where any of their fights is automatically a PPV, instead we should be looking for PPV fights.

                Crawford is the next PPV king. People say he has no personality, I disagree, he is Paquiao, and Floyd rolled into one.

                He is humble like Pacquiao and is intelligent and skilled like Floyd.


                Crawford will be the face of boxing for the next decade.

                  Deontay Wilder vs. Bryant Jennings will be the next big PPV if these 2 continue to have the performances they are having right now.

                  Other than that I would say...

                  Gennady Golovkin
                  Canelo Alvarez
                  Terrence Crawford
                  Adrien Broner
                  Keith Thurman
                  Vasyl Lomachenko

                  Right now I think Golovkin & Crawford have the biggest ceiling when it comes to PPV.
