    I'm pretty sure Alvarado-Rios was on SHO. At least, the first one was.

    I said they were undefeated fighters in their respective primes who had never been knocked down.

    If Tyson or De La hoya were still fighting, they would have 3-4 million buys these days. Most of the people paying for a Floyd fight are paying to see him get beat finally. They aren't floyd fans, hell he even gets booed in his own city! LOL

    Floyd is also the last of the greats, and people are starved for good boxing fights with high level fighters. Floyd is in a very lucky time period, he has zero competition.

    Flex, you are so silly. you dont think that Floyd wants to play the villain and that is a big part of his drawing power. hell if I could get 2.2 million people to pay 80 bucks a shot to see someone try to knock my head off I would sit tied to a chair (and you would too).

    If Ali was around when Oscar was fighting he would draw 10 million viewers

    They're not better, though mostly very good except Canelo Trout, which was a lukewarm fight. But notice it's mostly fringe contenders making good fights. Garcia Lucas were high rated, but it wasn't a FOTY contender, pretty good though.

    They put on tough man fights but their guys are more hype than true.

    The fighters make the fight not the companies broadcasting them?

    HBO is throwing its money on that **** heavyweight division . . . they should have invested it on Mayweather and they would not have lost out on the highest grossing event ever (they are in it to make money)

    I don't think these overseas fights cost them much, they didn't even have a production crew. It was probably well under 500k, which is a bargain for a HW title bout, though not that boring.

    It's still questionable whether Showtime breaks even with Floyd's contract, won't be easy with the lack of legit options.
