I thought I'd change it up a bit and make a list based on who gets the most viewers for their fights. 1. Mayweather 2. Pacquiao 3. Canelo 4. Broner 5. Khan 6. Marquez 7. Cotto 8. Donaire 9. Klitschko 10. Hopkins
Where have you got this from Donaire isn't in the top 10, Broner shouldn't be that high up either. Chavez Jr gets quite a lot of viewers
My list I made up when I think of the most popular. Oh yeah I forgot Chavez Jr I'll add him. 1. Mayweather 2. Pacquiao 3. Canelo 4. Broner 5. Chavez Jr. 6. Khan 7. Marquez 8. Cotto 9. Donaire 10. Klitschko
popularity or tv ratings? If it was on popularity on this site. it would go like this. 1. GGG 2. Lucas 3. Pacquiao 4. Canelo 5. Haye 6. Khan 7. Danny 8. Froch 9. Vitali 10. Cotto
Cotto got highest ratings so far this year for non PPV. GGG vs Stevens got more viewers than Broner vs Malinaggi and about 100k peak viewers less than Cotto fight. Alvarez rates lower on SHO iirc, unless he is fighting FMJ. Though when he was on HBO he was in the Cotto/GGG/JCC range, which all three were relatively close between 1.4M and 1.55M
If it was popularity amongst tv views then.. 1. Zou Shming 2. Floyd Mayweather 3. Pacquiao 4. Koki Kameda/Kameda bros 5. Klit bro's 6. Canelo 7. Cotto 8. David Haye 9. Chavez Jr 10. Froch
Yes, by far. Well over 50 million, if you add the number of viewers in Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Germany, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Romania, etc.
Not in the UK, everyone knows Khan, few know Marquez and only boxing fans know Cotto. Casual fans will watch a Khan fight(admittedly not always to see him win) but few casual UK fans will ever watch a fight purely for Marquez or Cotto
