    Yeah... but he doesn't quite get the attention of a Tyson or a De La Hoya... reason being is because Oscar and Mike were well liked and people actually tuned in to watch those guys fight. With Mayweather on the other hand, many people tune in just to see him lose.

    Floyd is also a boring fighter to watch which takes away from the potential fans he could attract with a more fan-friendly style.

    I think the Klitschkos are the biggest draw (worldwide). As for the US alone it might be Mayweather

    I voted yes because he is

    Floyd-JMM is the 1st time he's been on the A side of a big PPV event and he did well

    however

    he hasnt done big numbers while being on the A side consistently enough to prove hes a draw

    but I voted yes because the JMM numbers overachieve an must be evidence of his drawing power an I believe he'll continue to do similar no.s in future

    The Mexican fans made the fight a success. When Mayweather fought Sharmba Mitchell in Portland nobody showed up to watch. Hatton, DLH and Marquez all have a loyal fanbase and they drove the PPVs not Mayweather.

    Get over it Mayweather fans, he only takes fights with somebody he knows he can beat. And recently he has picked some that also have massive fan bases. He isn't an Ali and he isn't even a RJJ or a Hopkins. Very few mainstream sports fans even pay attention to him.

    If not for the Mexican fans, Void would have been in trouble.

    What do you mean by "A" side? Floyd-Ricky gave Floyd the bigger share of the purse as I recall...I think Floyd took in the bigger payday with around 60-65 percent of the share
