    Yeah, it was a Gatti ppv despite that being Gatti's first and only PPV fight.:roll: Gatti is not a ppv fighter. We can throw in the almost 400k Mayweather did against Judah as well. We could've saved some time had you just admitted you were wrong a while ago.


    So now Mayweather has to fight a no named, non Mexican fighter to prove his drawing power. :roll: You're getting desperate here. Mayweather was involved in the biggest ppv of all time, as well as the second biggest non HW ppv ever. He's also outdrawn Pac in all of their ppv fights against common opponents. The guys is arguably the biggest draw in the sport and it's not because he's simply piggy backing off of Mexicans.

    This is what you call selling a fight on your own name. Everyone pretty much new it would be a **** fight with Clottey covering up all night, and Pac still managed to draw 700k on his own.

    My argument is very simple, De La Hoya has not sold well against **** opponents. If you consider 300-400K selling well, then Mayweather has sold well against **** opponents. You're wrong again, and can't accept it.

    Lance, this is the sort of nonsense you pull all the time. You have taken a lot of cheap shots at me, and I said nothing. I only said something when you got on me for supposedly taking a cheap shot at you.

    its not his piggy backing

    its his on/off appearances

    supply and demand, since he fights only once a year, everyone wants to see him

    add this to special days, and yea, a big outcome is sure to come

    Throw whatever you like out Reg. I'm not disuputing anything. Between Gati and Floyd at the time, who do yoyu think sold the PPV? Gatti was riding high from his trilogy w/ Ward. What was floyd doing right before, seling huge PPVs vs, Bruselles and Corley? Nope...

    I never said that he needs to do that to prove anything. that's you adding your own **** to what said, which suggests you are the one showing desperation here. Not to mention, none of this part even means anything to what I was saying.

    :lol: WTF Reg? I said I consider that seeling well, and you come back and ask me the same thing again? move on to another point FFS... Can't accept it? DO yo even READ what I said?


    Don't act like you aren't one to throw cheap shots too. I don't cry about others doing that to me because I know I can do that too. At least I don't try to deny it...

    He fought Marqez and Mosley within an 8 month period and both fights did over 1M buys.

    Until Floyd fights someone like Clottey with absolutely zero following, we'll never know. The only fight Floyd has sold on his own name was against Baldomir and that fight did 350k buys.

    His upcoming fight with Ortiz is being stacked with a big Mexican undercard on Mexican Independence Day. Of course this will drive up ppv buys.

    Yes, you said Mayweather is not DLH; he cannot sell well against **** opponents like Hoya could. You then established that selling well is 300k+. Naturally I came back and said that Mayweather did 300k+ against Baldo which would of course invalidate your argument. It's pretty simple


    That's not the point Lance. You call me out for supposedly taking a cheap shot at you. I point out that you've taken multiple cheap shots at me. You respond by claiming that I'm being oversensitive. This of course makes no sense; which is status quo for you.
