    With Floyd done or almost done, who is the next American boxer that will be able to draw well on Pay Per View fights?

    Some possible choices:

    Wilder
    Crawford
    Ward
    Thurman
    Garcia
    Porter
    Jacobs
    Charlo
    Bradley
    Benavidez

    Other possibilities that I forgot to name:

    Spence (thanks Platonist)

    Will any of these guys make PPV level? If so, who will they be?

    Wilder has the best chance hes a heavyweight wtih a crowd pleasing style charisma etc if he can beat Wladimir and fight more on PBC (instead of showtime) it could be him

    Ward has the most talent but his personality may hold him back same with Crawford

    It takes a really special fighter to be a PPV star. You can have all the skill in the word but you need to have something called "star power". I don't see any of them having it. Mayweather didn't become a PPV star until he was 31 though, so the fighters on that list have a lot of time to change my opinion.

    As of now though, none.
