Do we factor in undercards? Honestly, remember Oscar's undercards? AWful stuff. Had butterbean and Mis St John on them
Not arguing that. The point is DLH became a PPV star basically on his own star appeal. Floyd and Pac would have NEVER become superstars without DLH.
Oscar made both Pac and Floyd stars. And 24/7 has something to with floyd ppv drawing powers of over a million buys.
Floyd Mayweather ain't ****! Where the hell is he now? In jail? Hmm.....What a lousy stuck up human being. When he fought Oscar, people came to see Oscar, when he fought JMM, people came to see JMM, When he fought Gatti, people came to see Gatti, when he fought Hatton, people came to see Hatton. Floyd couldn't draw flies on his own, and that's the truth. Mayweather the jailbird is the most hated athlete in all sports because of his low life, punkass personailty and attitude. Tyson had the aura of invincibility, and people came to see him destroy people even though many disliked him, but Mayweather has destroyed his reputation for life. People can't wait to see this ignorant fool go away. When it's all said and done, the world will continue to hate this guy as opposed to Pacquiao, Oscar, Hatton, Gatti and the other greats that are so loved by everyone. All the money and materials that he has will mean nothing. Look at him in jail trying to get his high paid lawyer to get house arrest because he is dehydrated and suffering, and can't train properly. What a weak ass punk! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Next time learn to not abuse women, threaten kids, fight security guards, burn $100 bills, humiliate your father, disrespect Larry Merchant and every other low life thing you have done to people all of your worthless life. Look at you now Floyd, all the money or materials can't help your stupid ass now. You better stop wearing that gold cross and ask God for forgiveness, and change your ways. God gave you a platform to be a good role model for everyone especially kids, and look what you have done. Start going to Manny Pacquiao's bible study, and you can learn a few things. Look at the outpour of love for Manny Pacquiao, and look at how he handles it. Class all the way. Humble all the way. Respect all the way. Manny Pacquiao will be loved because of the kind of human being he is. You sold out for fame and fortune, and now you have ruined your life. Save yourself before it's too late. nononononononononono
Funny how every person you mentioned that came to see the other did record highs for themselves? JMM never did above 300-400 and that was with Pac. vs Floyd does 1.0 Mil Hatton-Floyd broke the UK PPV record and it was Hattons first fight on PPV... vs Floyd who was coming off a win over DLH.. DLH never surpassed 1.4 with the exception of fighting Mayweather... Gatti had never been on PPV before or after... yet vs Floyd.. who played his part well did great.
No, Floyd's numbers are bigger but two things: 1) Everyone has cable now, they didn't when Oscar was huge 2) People forget HOW big Oscar was. There were round by rounds for his fights on radio. He was a spokesperson for Milk. He was setting unprecedented records for non-heavyweights. HE WAS MASSIVE. Floyd nor Pac weren't that big.
