    And what was Oscars after Mayweather? From 2.4 million to 1.2 million?

    How much did Oscar do with Puerto Rican sensation Tito Trinidad who was ranked in the top 3 pound for pound when Oscar fought him?

    bottomline: floyd has to act weirdo and make his life interesting to be a PPV material.
    He is a boring runner in a fight. imagine if he is fighting in latin countries or asia or maybe europe, people would have thrown oranges or tomatos on his face LOL.

    americans are forgiving. boxing is about art not brawling . yeah ryt! pot shotting and running are for pussies LOL

    Right, I get all that. It's still false that boxing is dead in the U.S., however. Boxing had megastars who made good money long before Pay-Per-View hit it big. The sport would be better without it, but that doesn't change the fact that fighters can make more money using it right now at this moment.

    What does that have to do with anything? Oscar's biggest PPV was with Mayweather, obliterating anything he did with anyone else.

    If Oscar made Floyd why didnt he do the same with Mosley and Hopkins who cant sell a pay per view to save their lives? When Oscar fought them they were just as highly rated as Floyd, especially Tito.

    Impossible to reason with some people. They simply cannot give Floyd his just due. It's always "some other factor" that has him shattering Pay-Per-View records and giving people career high paydays.

    I dont know why people dont wanna acknowledge his popularity. If you watch wrestling you know people love the heel and the anti-hero.

    Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao got people talking about boxing again.

    I dont understand how you can just hate a fighter.

    That Mayweather brags about PPV numbers and money made and he still is nowhere near the money made by tyson or oscar.

    Wrong. Ali generated more money (accounting for inflation)

    So what?

    He's the top PPV draw right now. Whether he's near them or not.

    And Tyson is far ahead of Oscar.

    In your estimation, that's not a lot of money, or what's the issue?

    he just says it's a character so people won't think he's a dick, which he is.
