    We sure about that? Bet retired Tyson sold more PPVs than Floyd's last outing...

    why you talk about number of people and not about number of dollars?

    1 cent payper view and you will get millions of viewers. It means nothing. Was that tyson preformance more expensive than the last floyd fight?

    would have tyson or ali made the numbers pacman vs floyd did? maybe with nowadays technology, yes. But the truth is that they didnt.

    Too easy. Even now both Ali and Tyson have more fans than Floyd, hence they are the bigger stars.

    it's not easy to make people pay 100 bucks to watch a fight.

    But yes, I think that with modern technology they could have done these numbers. SPecially Ali. His fights were B I G.

    The rumble in the jungle was watched by 1 billion people over the world with 50 million paying on pay per view telecast at 20 dollars a piece equivalent to £100 dollars now. Floyd and pac had around 4.6 million buys and there people didn’t have to get out of there arm chair, Ali/ foreman’s people had to also get in a car/bus etc drive to a theatre to spend that equivalent 100 dollars I would say Ali’s fights were much bigger.

    as America's biggest boxing star ? FGS look up the word geography and try not thinking about Tyson Fury for just a few seconds every day, pay some attention to girls or something instead, the obsession is not healthy

    Surely it's got to be Jake Paul, right?! J-Paul earned at least ''$10,000,000'' from his fight with Nate Robinson when all things were said and done even though it was just his second pro fight. Name me one other boxer in history who has even come close to walking away with a wedge even remotely close to that in just their second pro outing?

    And J-Paul is calling out Sugar ''Money'' Mac hard, a level of opposition it took Floyd a lifetime of training and close to 100 amateur bouts and 49 pro fights to step up to, whereas J-Paul is willing to step up to that level in just his third fight ever and I can't even begin to imagine what kind of wedge he's going to walk away with from that one if Sugar ''Money'' Mac accepts his challenge.

    A British panel of ‘experts’ is surely the most qualified to choose America’s biggest stars.
