    People like to know who's driving the sport forward?

    And yes, it's Canelo.

    If it was your favorite fighter I bet it would. I we need to take a trip down memory lane about a certain fighters potential PPV numbers before that fight tanked?

    Or those old post about a certain new fighter is going to surpass a legendary fighters accomplishments at the young age of 35?

    :think

    It matters a lot because this is the boxing business. No money then no top fighters. They could play, football, basketball or soccer.

    :good

    Mayweather is gone.
    Pacquiao no longer matters to the public anymore.
    Canelo is the man right now. If they don't believe that then they should e-mail Tom Loeffler and ask him. He is currently on his knees begging for Saul to fight Golovkin.:bowdown

    Numbers would say Canelo since Floyd is (temporarily) retired.

    They don't drive the SPORT forward, they drive the SHOW. The sport is being driven by real sportsmen like Gonzalez, Golovkin, Kovalev who fight the best available opposition and are not trying to get unfair advantages.

    PPV is stiffling boxing and is one of many reasons why it doesn't grow. How exactly does it drive the sport forward?

    Wilder vs Joshua has the potential to be a huge US-UK combined PPV event if Joshua beats Whyte and gets all UK behind him while Wilder beats someone who's not a part time boxer and gets some decent following behind him in the US.
