    i mean who's the fighter everyone wants to get in the ring with?? may it be for the money or for legacy?!?

    I for one would pick Manny Pacquiao. Every one wants a piece of him. Win or lose, he's a good ticket for some good money.:hat

    who else?? Dela Hoya is another!:good

    obviously it is the Golden Gooses for in or around their weights to earn a big payday and have a crack at the best so going through the weights the main guys are:

    Klitishko
    Joe Calzaghe
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Floyd Mayweather
    Ricky Hatton

    I say currently because his reign at the top of the box office is coming to it's end.
    but "Currently" he is still the guy.

    Manny Pacquiao would be.. I mean not only beating him would make your resume look great, but a huge payday would be in order too.. I mean who hasn't mentioned that they wanted to fight him? I would then say Floyd Mayweather, because not only do people want to sit on top of the WW division, but because fighting him too would also give them a big payday as well.. Oscar would be third and just for the pay..

    I honestly don't ever see Manny Pacquiao as the the top guy in PPV boxing.
    His fight with David Diaz will prove that, I think.

    he might fall under the Mayweather clause, depends on who the opponent is.
    then again who know's, I'll be buying his fight's tho.

    KP has a chance to take that crown.
    Until JCC Jr. wins his first champioship then it's over

    meal ticket use to be even though most guys were **** scared to get in there with him - Mike Tyson.

    Frankl Bruno's reward for winning the WBC Heavyweight Title was a career high purse of £4,500,000 for making his first defence against Mike Tyson who as the chalenger was way outearning Bruno on about $20,000,000 purse.

    All Bruno had to do was go in there be the scarfice and get beat up and give up his WBC - and then he could reitre with a big fat penison and live in comfort for the rest of his life - Tysons fist dont hurt so much then when you know thats what you can look forward to after the fight

    for most fighters it is always been about the money but they dont want to be seen that way

    prime example

    RICKY HATTON
