Yea the reason for that was cause he had two big name opponents standing across from him. Before hand he didnt outsell anything. There was a reason he was chasing Oscar.
I think this will be an easier fight than JMM, stylistically. But from a physical standpoint Pac will be facing the strongest man he's ever fought. However I also expect Pac to be stronger than he's ever been
\ He sold over 1 million buys in 3 combined fights with Zab Judah, Baldomir and Gatti. Name a fighter outside of De La Hoya and the heavywieght division that was doing similar numbers against these kinds of names? Mayweather vs Oscar sold more the Oscar vs Tito and Mosley combined.
because Pac "suprisingly" Kod the granite chin Hatton in 2. Anyone who did not know Hatton was gonna get KOd is an idiot. Hattons chin has been **** as of lately. I personally thought it was overhyped all along. Pac did get an early KO but the styles matchup was meant for a PAc KO all along. It was a little earlier than i thought but it happened as i expected.
Cotto's jab will be the key. Miguel has all the tools, I'm interested what Manny's chin will respond like. (More so than Cotto's)
Dont get it twisted, Oscar was the reason why those numbers were huge more so then Floyd. Oscar always put up big numbers even fighting stiffs. When you combine two guys like Oscar anf Floyd its obvious that numbers would be huge. It wasnt cause of Floyd if thats what your thinking. And gatti has a huge following and many people were believing in him more then they ever did.
Clearly you dont believe that it was just Floyd who produced those numbers :nono When Oscar DLH fights people watch, same with Gatti, but forget Gatti for one second shall we the DLH FMJ fight was a mega fight but lets face it most of the following was DLHs history supports this in fact how many seats were filled with Floyd fans that night? not very many at all. Gatti picked up a huge following as if he needed to add more after his three wars with Ward, so a bit of reality, most who watched that fight didnt watch it to see Floyd that was all Gatti. Now let me ask you this how does FMJ Judah stand up to DLH Trinindad in terms of Numbers? Or How did FMJ vs Baldimor do in terms of numbers next to DLH Vargas? Floyd does draw but its not like he draws in huge crowds evidence is already there in terms of his ability to sell tickets. People say PPV is where the money is at and you know I will agree okay so thats where its at. However when a fighter is doing his job, The fans tend to want to see the fighter fight up close and end up buying tickets becuase they are going to get what they pay for. However that doesnt happen with Floyd why? Beucase the fans know that its easier to throw out 50 bux and be at home and watch a boring fight rather than to buy tickets, get a hotel room and a flight to vegas and end up being just as ****ing board but having dished out much more money. Fans are not stupid when it comes to Floyd its best they spend that small 50 rather than have to fork out nearly a grand for a weekend in vegas to watch someone who isnt going to put out...... When a golf player leaves your fight in the 7th there is a ****ing problem with how you fight.
