To build Oscar into some kind of Menudo type star. You know how impressionable and mindless women are,, if they see some other girls screaming for De La Ho then all the other broads will latch onto that to be fashionable
I think more US than worldwide except for Mexico. He was virtually unknown in the UK. I remember going to the bookies to place a bet on ODLH-Pac match and the bookies hadn’t heard of either of them... Never seen him on TV or UK press before either. Floyd and Pac had appeal in the UK because of their fight with Hatton. Pac popular anywhere in the world cos Filipinos are everywhere and every single one knows Pac and would talk about him.
Ali yes Oscar NO! Though in certain places Oscar is well recognized with the fishnets, high heels, garter belt and stockings. Do you think JCC, Pinto and Salvador Sanchez would be ever caught wearing such? Never.
Lol, The Pope is maybe the only man that could pull a bigger crowd than prime Ali. That guy just didn't know his **** CJ
As popular as he was, the weird thing is that almost no one outside of boxing knows him now-whereas pretty much everyone knows Ali and Tyson. And along with Hank Armstrong and Billie Joe Saunders, I know what his ***** looks like, sort of. But most people don't know those other guys either.
People can talk smack about DLH but at the end of the day he is a Hall of Famer not only with the IBHOF but also with the US Olympic HOF, he is also a Olympic gold medalist and only 1 of 2 sextuple champions and he is the only hispanic to accomplish that feat .
Popular enough to make Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio into megastars, in the twilight of his career.
