*ignoring the typical spam BS*
it's combo of things to be honest but the biggest aspect quite simply is being a draw not only at the gate but in PPV sales and revenue generated.
whether we like it or not boxing is a business and this business likes to generate as much coin as possible whether it PPV sales or site fees or gate.
I do take into account other aspects like status in the boxing community (ie P4P, being the best of your division, long standing champ etc), crowd pleasing style even race/nationality but overall when it comes to who gets what it should always be who earns more that should drive it

Still pisses holmes off til this day.
I agree with what you said. PPV's are all about the cheese.
