    No, he just spars and draws four thousand fans.

    I'm surprised more people aren't saying Calzaghe, he had like 38000 fans for his last fight.

    What is your point? Thirty-eight thousand people is a lot of people to come out to see a fight. Most people in general will sell better in their hometown than in a foreign area.... Should be simple to understand.

    Depends. Mosley would sell out fighting in California. Too bad he doesnt fight here more often. Cotto in New York and Puerto Rico. etc. etc.

    I was replying to a post? Talk to him.

    Edit: Also, what opinion? It's a fact that Oscar landed nothing meaningful, and a fact that Floyd hurt Oscar at least once.

    Hatton, Wlad, Vitali, Calzaghe (maybe), Cotto, Hopkins, Mayweather.

    This list is the next in line, even though none are close to Oscar's marketability and drawing power.

    which proves that he is not a draw. a draw brings fans on his own. if you need a good dance partner in order to pull numbers, you clearly are not THE attraction.

    Outside of DLH it has been Taylor, Mayweather, and Hopkins who have notched up some of the biggest purses in the past couple of years.

    Cory Spinks fights had bigger crowds than Floyd....

    I'd say Cotto, Kessler, Hatton, Pacquaio, Calzaghe..Wlad

    Your definition of being a bg draw is selling out arenas in your hometown?
    Thats not my definition.
    Oscar Delahoya can go in any arena in the world and probably sell it out. Thtas the definition of a big draw to me. To Draw a big crownd n e where, not just in your hometown as Calzaghe can do. Tyson can do the same thing. As much as he is shot, people will come to see him fight. Anywhere in the world. Calzaghe isnt a big draw. He comes to the US and fights another non elite fighter, that fight isnt drawing anyone. believe that

    Pacman did 200k against Solis. Solis b4 pacman noone has even heard of...I think thats indicative of how big he is. MAB-Juarez did less than that.
