Roy Jones. Even though he is not nearly as polarizing as Floyd, his skill and entertaining style alone would generate more ticketband PPV sales.

Mike Tyson, obviously.
I attribute his attraction to the cash cow: Oscar Dlh
Before then he couldn't sell PpV, and he was the B side to that fight.
2nd as much as I loathe to agree with Arum on anything: his point IMo is rock solid; Floyd somehow connected himself to the Mexican holiday, Mexico supports boxing.
And when he fought Hatton...it was his fans that packed Vegas. Not Floyd fans.Between villain and fans showing up to see him lose is funny but seemingly true.

Tyson would've been a major attraction in any era.
RJJ I dont think so, when he made history winning the HW title The Thomas and Mack center was a quarter empty. RJJ for whatever reason has never been a PPV attraction.
