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?
