    Go through my post history in the last six months and find something outlandish or outrageous, I know you won't find anything. If you ever see anything you disagree with I invite you to debate me, I can assure you I won't insult you or spazz out on you.

    thats fair. youre not clueless like mvc and your arguments at least carry some weight. i will try to take your posts at face value, without inferring anything outside of them to decide what you mean.

    Its rare to have two Cash cows simultaneously in the U.S. with Mayweather-Pacquiao being the exception. No arguing here bro, just good ol boxing talk to pass the time.

    Once Canelo drops off from the radar their will be an heir to the void left that he filled when Mayweather retired, but as long as he is winning and continues to sell it will be difficult for any other fighter to emerge as the co-mega star.

    Pacquaio still the biggest ppv star in boxing. Put him up against Loma, Crawford or Spence and it easily does over a million with the same hype machine that wilder-fury and garcia-spence had behind it.

    Maybe its because Pac lives in the Philippines, but his fights barely get any hype. Pac-Broner with 0 hype still outsold wilder-fury and spence-garcia which was constantly in our faces and billed as a very interesting and important fight.

    Who the f*** is talking about Pac?

    Ever hear of a guy named Floyd?

    And ODLH is the true PPV king.

    Maybe the fact that Pac is still fighting and drew higher buys than the last 2 heavily promoted fights make it relevant to the discussion of PPV?

    Oscar and Floyd are retired, they’re irrelevant, how will their PPV history be relevant to the current and future boxing PPV landscape?

    Pac is not the biggest PPV star.. That's Canelo.

    Pac was never the biggest draw, that's Mayweather.

    Pac is not the PPV King.. That's ODLH who has been directly and indirectly involved in more high selling PPV fights than any other boxing figure.

    Surprised it did more than Fury-Wilder, I guess it's the Mexicans. Good numbers to be honest all things considered.

    What about Spence makes him more marketable? Both are ferocious fighters I guess Spence is more of seek and destroy type of guy, Crawford is more frustrate, box your head off. In terms of entertainment value both are high level at what they do, antics and behaviour outside the ring they are similar neither man is a brash talker, they silently confident. So I think with the right promoter and marketing Crawford could be where Spence was but Arum doesn’t care about him as much. Put it this way if Arum put as much effort into Crawford as he did Loma , Terrence would be a bigger star by now.

    Personally I think any of these guys had the chance to become the next name, Spence, Crawford and Thurman. All have skills, all undefeated but Thurman fell off, Crawford signed with Top tank again so he will go the Tim Bradley route. Spence only has to get a pac man or beat and Porter, Thurman and Garcia to become the man.

    Again how is floyd and Oscar relevant to this convo. Are they gonna fight anytime soon to bolster boxing PPV numbers?

    And how is Canelo bigger than Pac? His last superfight did 1mil buys. PACs last superfight did 4.6mil.

    If Canelo-Jacobs does more than Pac-broner then I’ll concede.

    Oh ye I forgot about dazn. I guess his last fight that didn’t have a name to carry him such as cotto, khan or Ggg did 300k vs Smith. Hardly groundbreaking.

    I wish I knew what that meant, but I don't follow the buys and all that.
