Boxings Top Five Draws

Froch makes good money in regards to who exactly. Who are you comparing his money making to?

 

The cheap seats for that fight were $150, around £110 and like I said earlier, it was far from full.. especially when compared to Hatton Pacman a year before.

 

I think the best way to consider draw is if there were an unlimited number of tickets all at the same price which fighters would sell the most

 

#1 and #2 are Mayweather and Pacquiao, whichever order, period. I understand your logic but "biggest draw" is probably the wrong term for your top 5. If Pacquiao and Mayweather bothered to go fight in Germany they might be huge there too. But best believe the faces of boxing outside Ukraine and Germany are Mayweather and Pacquiao.

BUT..... lmao @ the hypocrisy in this thread. The Klits are dismissed because they're only huge in Ukraine and Germany, yet Hatton is top 5 even though he's only huge in the UK? ... please....

 

The reason for this is because when he fought Mayweather he was undefeated and a lot of Brits are really up for a UK vs US battle, after he lost he was fighting Pacman which wasn't as popular as the invincibility aura had gone, and Manny was not as high profile fighter here as Floyd. Also you have the economic aspect too.

PPV is also in lot more homes in the UK now that you have cable and Sky, where as back in 2002 it wasnt as popular.

 

"and Manny was not as high profile fighter here as Floyd"

^ Then what were you arguing against?

 

1. Mayweather.
2. Pacquiao.
3. David Haye.
4. Wladimir Klitschko.
5. JMM.

 

Nothing, but Hatton's aura as being undefeated and would beat all was gone after his battle with Floyd, hence would command less interest in his next fights. The man still got 25k Brits to fly over and watch him fight Pacman which is probably more fans than Floyd has in the US... who people only watch in the hope to see him lose.

 

who gives a ****, just give me Fight of the year contenders by top quality Boxers.
the rest only matters to fan girls
