forget oscar

:huh

 

specifically, other than hatton and de la hoya? you mean in the near future?

 

Mayweather.

He's had problems selling out arenas but has always done solid numbers selling PPVs, the lowest being 325k against Baldomir. And PPVs generate more money.

 

cotto, pac, and pavlik all from top rank

 

Well of course this means they would have to be marketed well to make them well known and become a household name.

Right now i would say Cotto. He has the tools and mentality to make a good and interesting fight at all times which will keep viewers coming back.

Later i would say JCC Jr. He already does good numbers mostly with the Mexican crowd but if marketed well and he does develop against top fighters then he would definately be a top draw.

No matter what this would have to be somebody above 140. Most people wont accept a fighter below this weight as a household name.

Hayes would also be great but i dont know how much noise he can make at HW yet.

 

Who "should be"? Meaning, who's fights are usually worth the money spent?

Izzy Vazquez, Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao, Kelly Pavlik have all been entertaining. Fernando Montiel too.

 

Junior Witter

 

Damn near any fighter from Mexico. Mexicans support there fighters

 

This is true. I'd like to see Jr. fight 3 more times in 2008. Hector Jr., and finally, 2 LEGITIMATE top 10 guys at Jr. Middles, and then, March of 2008, a Title Fight, and if he wins it, by KO, watch out.

 

I don't recall Mayweather having trouble putting buts in seats ... everyone wants to see him either win or having a chance to lose and now he's doing big numbers in PPV.

No matter what people say ... he's selling millions of buys in PPV ... he's doing that himself ... Oscars biggest PPV was 1. something million buys against Trinidad and that number doubled once PBF fought him ...

Hatton had never been on PPV before and once he fights PBF he sells almost 2 million buys world wide.

 

True, but as a Floyd fan I understand were you are coming from. But when Tito vs Hoya happened damn ner everyone was stealing cable. i know I was

 

Void can't make the big money like Oscar. Oscar will beat Void again, only much more convincingly.
