Who would have drawn more than Floyd in this era?

[IamInuit]

What all-time fighters fighters would have generated more revenue than FM if they had the opportunity to fight in this era?

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.

This is the highlight reel era where boxing plays second fiddle to knockouts. Where announcers call pugilists boring and guys like Rigo have to fight in China. The irony is if Floyd Mayweather was just starting today he'd most likely be ignored. That's why its so puzzling as to why he draws the way he does. He does the same thing Rigo does or Locche or Pep and those two most likely would not make it to the big time in today's market either.
