    JASPER strikes again. :deal

    I think fans have always cared back to when Ross-Canzoneri-McLarnin were filling stadiums and Armstrong was competing with Joe Louis for the title of the sport's most popular fighter. What SRL did do is open the door to PAYDAY's comparable to Heavyweights, the multi-millions, etc.

    Oscar would have ALWAYS been the cash cow, with or without Ray Leonard :nono

    Tyson was the real cash cow, though. :deal

    Oscar-Trinidad: 1.40 million buys
    Tyson-McNeeley: 1.55 million buys

    /Case Closed

    My point was that Oscar was only on step in the progression of the sport. He would have been big but without SRL opening up the market for smaller fighters. Oscar might have been SRL if SRL never existed

    Floyd had a massive hand in selling that **** and proof is in that Oscar's next best was the Tito fight in '99 with absolutely massive fanfare going on. Floyd's matched and topped that with Mosley (1.4) and Cotto (1.5).

    Tyson's more thorough with it.

    Holyfield II: 1.99
    Lewis: 1.97
    Holyfield I: 1.69
    McNeeley: 1.55
    Bruno II: 1.37


    :deal

    That was exactly my point, SRL would not have been been as marketable without Armstrong and the rest. The sport is always evolving and while one fighter can lay the ground work we have to recognize those that have come before them.

    I do not think anyone would have ever thought a defensive, slick black lighter weight fighter would be the number one draw in boxing or a fighter from the 2nd world who barely spoke English at one time would be number 2. For decades the public did not want a black face as the HW champ and now they have it and PBF and manny makes 3-5 times the money he makes . . . a lot of the old-timers must be rolling in their graves right now
