    To me, Floyd needs that pre fight drama cause the casual fan wont watch him since hes not an exciting fighter compared to Cotto or Pac. He has to use his mouth (or family)to sell tickets.

    oscar was so hype up already since he won gold in the olympics that he can sold out fights even fighting fighters like david kamau. The dude didn't need to talk trash or anything. People just watch when he fights.

    Hopkins was terrible at promoting himself. People bought that fight for Tito not bhop. His only PPV's that have done well were the ones where he fought mega stars that brought in the seats. On his own he can't even make people stay in seats that they already paid for to see someone else fight.

    Mayorga, Mayweather, and even Hatton. Although maybe I should give the credit to 24/7 for Hatton, because they did a good job making it seem like Hatton had a shot against Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    You can say the same thing about Mayweather.
