    Nah not in this recent era.

    The small men have been carrying Boxing for a good while now.There is more interest in and around Floyds weight then there is for the HW division...even with Haye.

    You completely missed the point.

    Now that you finally have some interesting heavies like Haye and Klit going after a title, casual fans are going to jump on it.


    It doesn't surprise me that Hay is outselling Floyd right now.

    Glad you noticed....so obviously Floyd isnt the cash cow and Mr.Boxing as he claims to be.

    :lol: Yeah. Ok, what. I bet you thats a gang of bull****. Not only is there no way in generating that kind of revenue with that kind of fight. Its just complete bull****. Where is the 20 mill coming from? HBO? Unless they are doing charity work then nahhh. Fighters dont make that kind of bank without PPV # which is more money than the live gate by quadruple or more. The biggest live gate was Mayweather ODH......at 19 mill. It dont add up.

    nope look it up, germans as well as other european countries get it as PPV, plus the gate money, each venue holds up to about 30.000 people, plus the sponsors.

    Hell Felix Sturm is a huge draw in Germany thats why he doesn't come to the US because he doesn't get enough.

    Imagine PBF selling 50,000+ seats in a stadium anywhere in the world.

    Then think of the Baldomir fight and the crying press conference afterwards, or people like Tiger Woods walking out of the match early.

    There's a reason why PBF piggybacked off of known draws such as Gatti, Hatton and ODLH -- his style sucks for fans, and people don't want to see it. They only watch to see if he will lose.

    Except for the Joy Boyz, of course.

    And the IRS.
