Has Floyd ever sold out an arena?

That is true about Mosley, but PBF was highly marketable due to fighting high fanbase Hatton and Oscar. I believe he will be much more marketable now that he has returned. That statement he threw out at Oscar in his recent interview, I won the fight so it is my numbers. I hope that was a joke. The Marquez fight will do good and if he fights Pac, it will go through the roof due to Pac's recent wins and fanbase that is growing as I post this.

 

yes floyd has sold ****..it takes two to tango and it was seen on his last 2 fights. We all know hatton and hoya won't sell if the opponent was ****. The fact that floyd was the best fighter and p4p#1 adds more people although i do admit hatton and hoya have a bigger fan base(casual fans)

Floyd fans are more of the purist and boxing experts, casual fans would find him boring because they don't know boxing which was evident in the baldo fight

 

Both. Marquez has been on a good run and ppl will want to see PBF lose or win. It will diffinitely sell due to both.

 

Juarez-JMM was on showtime and wasnt PPV. Im only asking about this great following that you say he has, it didnt look like he had one considering the Juarez fight.

 

yeah i remember that fight, it was on free tv i think. Marquez won't sell fights alone, he needs big names also in order to sell. Against juarez he didn't sell, juarez was the ***** of that division. A step up name

 

You don't, You're new.

this is going to turn into a pissing match over who should get paid more on the split when he fights Pac.

 

You also have to look.

Floyd is part of the biggest fight ever, if he's not that popular then did it shatter the previous record?

 

lol i agree..so many people hoping he would lose

 

Floyd is just as big name wise amongst the casual fan in the country.

simple as that really. He is the other half of the fight with Pac that would make it so big.

Why we argue this is beyond me, he is boring, so what, the average sports fan knows his name and may buy the fight becuase of it. Especially if he knows both names, Pac being the other.

 

I argee with you on DLH, not Hatton though, Ricky had fought in the states before and hadnt been on PPV for a reason. Ricky's fights against Collazo, Urango and castillo didnt even sell out arena wise and wernt on PPV. I cant beileve that all of a sudden hatton sold 900k in the states after his previous numbers.

 

LF, I beg to differ. Oscar was like Tyson. If one would want to fight a cab driver it would sell. Hatton could fight at the Wembly against Paulie's sister and it would sell. Due to those two fighters and how PBF beat them, he now does much better in selling tickets.

 

****ing hell you are a naive nuthugger

Hatton consistently sells out 60,000-seat venues in the UK, regardless of the class of his opposition.

DLH is recognised as the biggest crossover boxing star in the world after Tyson.

Trying to justify people walking out of the PBF vs Baldomir fight by playing the old 'purist and boxing experts' card is weak man...Floyd himself knew that fight was boring as ****, that's why he cried during the post-fight presser.

Seriously man, who the **** do you think you are to claim that anyone who likes Hatton and DLH are 'casual' fans, and anyone who likes Floyd is a 'purist'?

****ing Floyd's the one who sold out to WWE, you silly little ****

 

Mayweather also brings the commercial fans ... alot of fans that you don't normally see at the fights ... Jay-Z, Diddy, Samuel Jackson, Wayne Newton, Wesley Snipes, Denzel, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods ... come on now ... other fighters aren't attracting that type of people.

 

Floyd in mega fights is a big part of the reason for sales of the huge fights, (so is the co fighter) but in smaller events, he comes close but I guess he has not sold out.

But theres no way you can say or do anything that will claim that Floyd was not part of the reason for the 2.4 million buys against DLH.

 

yes, they do.
