    Wladimir is massive in Germany , Povetkin is too. In the UK David Haye has a solid fan base but not as great as Hattons or Calzaghes by half.. Cotto has a giant fanbase globally and Pacquao has too.. Old faves like Tyson and Lennox still have giant fans worldwide even though they are retired...

    If we're going by ticket sales at venues, you can't beat Calzaghe or Hatton.

    If we're going by PPV buy rates, you're looking at Jones Jr (still), De La Hoya, Manny Pac and Wlad.

    Oscar de la Hoya has many die hard fans that hate to face reality. May of 07 I was in the audience for the World Record Attendance for a weigh in for the PBF-DLH fight. The PBF fans were few and far between. The ignorance that afternoon in the MGM was astounding.

    The Klitschko brothers can! Wlad's fight with that American joke of a title challenger Ray Austin was sold out within 2 hours.

    I will try to get hold of a couple of tickets for Vitaly's upcomming fight with Sam Peter which will probably be staged in Germany's capital Berlin. I guess that all 19,000 seats of the newly built Anschutz indoor arena there will be sold out within minutes.

    Hatton ' s and the Klitschkos' popularity are amazing,eh!!!!

    Most top Americans can even fill a small arena in their home city or sell out a casino in Las Vegas.

    Jones might not have the biggest fan base, but based on what he's been through - I'd have to say that he has the most dedicated fans ... no matter what, he can still bring 7 to 8 thousand people anywhere across the states.

    Hatton has the biggest fan base i'd ever seen ... he at times brings more fans than seats in the arena he's fighting in.

    Pacquiao is next ...

    after Pac, its DLH who's fan base is slowly declining and has proved that he doesn't have actual boxing fans more than casual fans ...
