    Both Mayweather and Pacquiao together can't make NONE of what DLH can bring. DLH compares with Tyson, Ali..etc when it comes to big bucks and solo PPV attraction.

    With him being out those guys are the big boys but nowhere close to him.

    The Pac-Cotto fight will sell at least 500k PPV in Puerto Rico alone. The island will stop that day just to watch the fight.

    No current cash king. Floyd and Pac are princes, but note that if either had a bad fight, casual fan interest (such as it is) would wane considerably.

    to me these are the guys that make big money and ppv buys....

    manny, floyd, hatton in the uk and brings his following, cotto, and the klitschkos in germany, 60% of germany watches.....

    but there is no one guy that is the ultimate cash cow, since oscar is gone.

    actually this is correct. With the German TV money they get, plus additional international broadcast rights fees, plus sold out arenas, they honestly dont really even give a **** about HBO money. They fight who they want, and if HBO wants it fine, and if they dont, then thats fine too. Consistent 8-figure paydays........

    W.Klitschko manages to pull in very good money, regardless of opponent, without ever having to resort to PPV. I have a lot of respect for that.

    Trinidad isn't broke so I'm not quite sure what you're implying. Part of the reason he keeps coming back is because Don King has to pay him a minimum amount of money (rumored to be 5 million) every time he fights.

    The Klitschko's make a lot of money. Proof positive that being a HW is it's own writable check.
