    There are no real Naz Hamed's, Eubanks and Benns in the country at the moment. We have Haye and Hatton here.

    My prediction is that Bute may well be the next star.

    Richard Schaefer, anyone who disagrees should log out right now and pull a Zab style of shower.

    Manny Pacquiao hands down, because of the excitement he brings into the ring....

    Yeah it must be Manny

    Everyone wants to fight him, thats all you have to know

    However against both Oscar and Hatton it was Mannys opponents who brought in most of the fans cash

    With Hatton and Oscar effectively finished, what makes up the cash cow king of today is a lot less than what it was a couple of years ago

    In terms of fans in USA and fan money I think its Cotto...

    I dont thinks theres more Filipinos than Porto Ricans in the USA and them Ricans are crazy bout their fighters(not that its a bad thing).

    Mayweather is up there. Everyone wants to either see him win or lose. Love him or hate him, he's in everyone's conversation.

    I will say MAnny and COtto in USa. Cotto lacks Charisma, but when you put them together it has to produce a lot of millions. Hopefully contract will include a nice share of PPV

    Individually there's really no one that can be called "cash king".

    So far Pac and PBF seem to top the list but neither of them will do well without another big name opposite theirs.

    The last real "cash king"(DLH) is dead!
