Forgot all about DD - he was a proper sinister dude lol
- Pacquiao
- Hatton
- Mayweather
- Cotto
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.
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!
Klitschko in Germany. He sold 60,000 tickets in his last fight. RIDICULOUS.
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?
yeah, but he wouldn't sell half as many worldwide PPV buys as ODH. he certainly hasn't so far.Originally Posted by WWatt
HATTON in his back yard IS de La HoYA! Obviously the biggest by a country mile are Oscar and Tyson is probably the biggest of all time! Tito and Cotto have almost fanatical support and they get REALLY loud cheers! Pacquaio is a star too! 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.
