Who will be Boxing's big PPV draws once Pac and Floyd retire?

For the past 6 or so years now, the only big PPV bouts have included either of those two (in tonight's case, it included both).
Floyd says he is done after September. Yeah, he's backed out of retirement before, but it's apparent the end is near. Same goes for Pac. So the question now is who does boxing turn to for the marquee bouts.
Sure there's Wlad and Vitali but no one gives a shite about heavyweight anymore.

Wilder if he takes out Wlad after taking out Fury. Everybody loves a big American heavyweight. He's got one punch power. He's brash. He's got the feel good story because he fights for his daughter. He's huge.

Alvarez obviously. He already has a huge following in Mexico. Golovkin has a chance to be massive with his fighting style. He just needs to beef us his resume a little bit. Also if you know anything about the history of boxing, you would know that huge stars come out of nowhere all the time.

Sure, but for the past 4 years, the sport has been milking two past-their-prime welterweights.

Boxing needs KOs. It's the reason people are hyping up Wilder so much. If he keeps it up he may save boxing. But Klitchko will out "box" him and win another boring decision.
Boxing needs to get these "defensive" fighters out quickly, they need a couple of years of guys going Ward/Gotti to regain the hype.

Look up Anthony Joshua he's a British heavyweight. Best HW prospect since Wlad.

Canelo Alvarez
Felix Verdejo (give him 3-4 years)
Maybe Terence Crawford

There are plenty of great boxers coming up. Boxing is actually pretty set up for some great fights in the coming years.
Its as good as its been in a while
GGG, one time Thurman, Garcia, ward, Crawford, and going middle weight and up you got sergi kovalev, Adonis Stevenson and more.
Plenty of great fighters and itbjust takes a little effort to look them up

Deontay wilder will be the next biggest PPV draw. He's about to run over everything as he defends his title.
Well, I should say continue to run over everything.
Oh and Mayweather, not really retiring in September. Not a 1% chance. Next win in September will be #49 to tie Rocky Marciano. He will "retire" after the fight. UNTIL they hype up the next biggest fight in history. The 50th to win break Marciano's record

Correct. Only way he retires after September fight is if he loses. He WILL go for that unmatched 50-0 record if he has the oppty.

Floyd will retire after fighting a nobody rather than a #1 contender
Pac is done, he will not fight again unless he needs more money
Boxing needs that dude who is considered the hardest hitter to step up (fight Mayweather, even though it won't happen)
