In boxing, you have the local draws, the regional draws, the national draws, and the true superstar, the "international" draw. Examples of local draws: Malignaggi in Brooklyn can bring 5k. . . Dirrell in Detroit can bring 3-5k. . . Ward can bring 7k or so in Oakland. Examples of regional draws: Hopkins can bring around 5-7k on the east coast. Sergio can bring 5k or so on the east coast (boardwalk hall, or MSG). . Pavlik can bring 5-10k in midwest, or east coast. . . Adamek can bring 10k to boardwalk hall, new jersey, or probably new york as well. Robert Guerrero can bring 5k anywhere throughout California. Examples of national draws: Canelo, and Chavez can bring tens of thousands in Mexico, and 10-15k easily in the southwest, and southern california. Sturm can bring 10k in Germany. . . Helenius can bring 8k in Finland. . . Zaveck is a hero in Slovenia. . . Amir Khan in England. . . Obviously David Haye STILL (for some reason) in England. . Examples of international draws: There are only four right now in boxing, IMO, Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Wladimir, and Vitali Klitschko.
Excellent point. . . THere are some others I forgot. . . But it shows how much of an international sport boxing is - and how although here in USA, we see more boxers who can only draw 1-3k like Williams, Bradley, and Berto, yet there are fighters in smaller countries who are so much more popular in regards to their country. .
Roman Gonzalez can fill soccer stadiums in Nicaragua.. And i'm pretty sure CHemito Moreno can too in Panama.
you right on this one. half right, I would say. manny and floyd can fill a stadium anywhere in the world, with proper commercial. klit bros are so boring, they got chased out of the usa and only can fill stadiums in germany, austria or maybe switzerland. they wouldnt fill **** in england or france.
They would sell out a 20k stadium in Estonia easy. White heavyweight champion with a big ass K.O reel and a great attitude. Easy.
Disagree, my chubby canine friend! Vitali sold like 15 thousand against Arreola in Staples Center. . . Wladimir sold like 10k plus against Ibragimov @ MSG. Wladimir is probably going to fight Arreola in MSG, or Staples, and he'll likely sell over 10k. . And the definition of an international draw, is one who can sell tickets in more tahn one country. . So far, they have sold 10K plus in numerous countries: Germany, Poland, Switzerland, USA, among others. . . Maybe I should have broken it down international star further, because Manny, and Floyd are in a different category than the Klitschkos when you look at it.
They can if they fight some domestic level Frenchman or Brit, who can't draw 5000+ on their own. :deal
