    There many popular and exciting fighters who were able to fill the seats easily. Who was the biggest draw?

    If you mean filling seats at the venue than thats easy Hatton or Pacquiao (tho prob Hatton, i mean taking 35,000 fans across the ocean). If its actual generating money via PPV then that would be De La Hoya. There's no real dispute to that, tho i am talking about at present. Tho in any era, no one has had the travelling support of Hatton.

    Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, Mikkel Kessler all fill out soccer stadiums no problem. Why aren't they on the list? rofl

    Manchester, right?
    .. but it was clearly Ali. Most people in his time were boxing fans and he had every household in the US and many across the globe watching his fights. 2nd is tyson.

    I think Pacquiao could fill up a 10million capacity stadium. When 65million people stop to watch your fight, crime stops and ceasefire on civil war is called when you fight, your ****in huge!

    I think arena wise it got to be Hatton, just PPV it's Oscar, everything put together, I would either say Oscar or Tyson.

    Of all time it had to be Jack Dempsey who once had over 100,000 people at one of his fights
