JUDAH :lickish:
I thought you'd enjoy that...
In all seriousness, I'd say De La Hoya and Gatti.
IT HAS TO GATTI IN ATLANTIC CITY OR HATTON IN ENGLAND.
i think ODH probably is :(
It's definitely ODH. The numbers speak for themselves.
Tyson :-\
Oscar by far.
I would say Jones jr(Because want to see what happens next)Manny Pac,Joe Calzaghe or Ricky Hatton.
Delahoya, hands down. All his fights are sellouts, and his PPV fights do the biggest numbers.
Oscar De La Hoya. And sadly, Mike Tyson even outside the ring.
Oscar
Gatti
Hatton
Cotto
Mayweather is seemingly in the running.
Oscar (everywhere)
Gatti (In Atlantic City)
Hatton (In England)
Cotto(IN Puerto Rico)
this is what the list should say.
And Mayweather once only sold less then 1000 tickets at home :(
Tyson "vs" jenna jameson.............whatever happened to that "fight"?
Hatton would sell probably 40,000+ at Man City's stadium, in a flash.
yeah, but he wouldn't sell half as many worldwide PPV buys as ODH. he certainly hasn't so far.Quote:

Disagree with Mayweather,I don't think he is a big seller at all,the Judah fight was more the appeal of 2 "gangsters",East v West type of thing rather than who was actually fighting! It could have been any 2 brothers as long as they had the hip-hop appeal.
'Just wanna update this 3 year old thread. Reading these old posts always fascinates me. It's like a teleporting time machine thing. Lol. But anyways, I think Pac is the biggest draw in boxing right now.
wait.. YOU think Pac is the biggest draw in boxing right now?Quote:

Another pointless bump of an old thread to push an agenda, rather than serve any kind of worthwhile discussion :rolleyes:
DD was spot on.Quote:

Forgot all about DD - he was a proper sinister dude lol
the best sellers today would be mayweather, pacquaio, hatton, and de la hoya, if he came back.. i'm probably missing someone obvious but those are the main fighters that the general public know of where if they saw a billboard or commercial they would actually notice it.
Well boo-hoo-hoo cry babies! I guess we need to move this thread to Pac forum now huh? Lol!
His Benn and Eubank obsession was different class.Quote:

I see him at B o x i n g s c e n e about 7 months ago, his name there is Orange Sneakers or something. And he's still in great form doing his Eubank, Benn, obsession there aswell, could still be on there but i haven't checked B o x i n g s c e n e. In ages only to get fights on the hidden section, or to get fight links.Quote:

Orange SNEAKERS? Surprised if a crazy Brit like DD would use the American term sneaker. :-\Quote:

He used to post millions of threads about the two. Especially Eubank.. he idolised him in a sick way.Quote:

There's only one way this is going to turn out.;)
Klitschko in Germany. He sold 60,000 tickets in his last fight. RIDICULOUS.
going by biggest PPV sales, and the one still active after both, it'd be Mayweather, his last two fights had more PPV sales than ANYONE else, Pac didn't even out sell him, even though they had the same last 2 opponants
Why is everyone's avatar some person's face? Just wondering. Good job in banning Quintino. Good stuff.
I'd say Jason Litzau fighting some professional hockey player on frozen ice in Minnesota would draw the masses, I certainly would tune in and bet against Litzau. That was what first came to my mind.
Otherwise, Pacquiao is the guy that has the whole country talking and he's pretty close to being a household name at this point. Cotto has a tremendous Puerto Rican following which is great for the main stream NY press but Mexicans famously spend money on fights which Arum has proved with the Latin Fury cards recently and before that, the money he made of De La Hoya who was feverishly supported by Mexicans and Mexican american, it made him boxing's biggest star over guys like Roy Jones and other top Americans. I'm almost positive there would have been more Mexicans then not for Marquez' fight with Mayweather had it gone on. With PPV the appeal is arguable though, it's hard to tell who draws more PPV buys since we just don't know where those buys come from. I would think Mayweather would be the one who drew more buys.
But really it's Pacquiao unquestionably and the guy who could potentially be the biggest draw will have to win it away from him (Mayweather, Cotto, Marquez, ect.) But the Litzau idea should be left opened and maybe subsituted with a Malignaggi type or someone of that ilk. Perez Hilton that fat queen maybe, who the fuck likes this guy?
In different economies, nevertheless I believe MAyweather is the bigger star, and that more people know about him in the states than about Manny.Quote:

Hatton, Pacquiao, Mayweather, and you could even throw Kelly Pavlik in there, he has a fanbase that follows him and sells out Atlantic City.
Hatton could still sell out somewhere like wembley stadium with 90 thousand plus if required.
Not sure if pacquiao could manage that in the phillipines, other than him nobody comes close to hattons popularity
Most Americans don't even know who Hatton was until he fought Mayweather. And most still don't even know who he is. Hatton may be popular in Britain but not the world or even America. The only famous Brit that Americans know is probably David Beckham and probably Hugh Grant.Quote:

But their phillipino and mexican/american fans alone make them massive hits just like hatton and his legion of supporters do.
Could floyd mayweather sell out at his local football stadium if he fought there?? i doubt it
