    1. Ward
    2. Abraham
    3. Kessler
    4. Froch
    5. Taylor
    6. Dirrell

    Abraham is probably the biggest homecourt draw, but the most popular fighter out of all 6 has to be Ward ... and I think he produces the most money out of all the fighters that are fighting (as far as his opponents get big purses)

    Clearly Kessler.

    Unless we're redefining 'draw' to mean something other than its normal meaning...

    What crowds/ratings/buyrates has Ward drawn? I thought he'd gone amazingly under the radar considering he's an American Olympic gold medalist.

    What was Kessler's biggest turnout in DenMark?

    I can tell you this ... if Kessler was the bigger draw then the fight would be in Denmark not in the US. When he fought Calzaghe ... Calzaghe had atleast 50k routing for him alone.

    Next to Ward is Abraham ...

    There's no doubt in my mind that Ward couldn't sell out the Home Depot Center ... or the ****in rose bowl if the fight was big enough ... I can tell you this ... once he gets that WBA world title ... you can expect him to fight someone like Abraham or a rematch with Kessler (should they meet in the finals) at the ****ing rose bowl

    Abraham is going to have 18k at the O2 arena against Taylor ...

    Someone please tell me Kessler biggest output as the home court fighter. I know wit that 18k he suposidly brought to England was crazy because Calzaghe had a very large chunk of that crowd.

    Kessler drew 25.000 in Denmark when he fought Andrade. The stadium was completely sold out and people were desperate to get the tickets. He could probably draw 40.000 + if any stadium in Denmark had the capacity.

    Kessler is a way bigger draw than Ward. Deal with it....

    Why does Ward have 3 straight fights at home? ... if he's not the biggest draw than who is? ... and why don't they have the homecourt advantage?

    I think Froch is doing himself plenty of favours running his mouth at every opportunity!

    How the **** should we know? He is definately not a bigger draw than Kessler... When has Ward filled 25.000 seats? Never... There's your answer chump.

    Ward isn't even a large draw in the US. My educated guess is only die hards know of Ward. Froch, Kessler, and Abraham ALL draw big at home, which is more then any American can say. In terms of popularity in the US, probably Taylor, as he's been in many televised fights as well as big fights.
