Wasn't Holyfield a pretty huge draw during his prime, or was that just during the Tyson fights? My understanding was that DLH is basically number three in PPV sales after those two, but maybe Holy's came as a result of fighting great HWs while Tyson could, as we all know, sell out MSG masturbating.
First off, don't repeat Relentless' classless and disgusting lines about people selling out the Garden while masturbating. Second, you're right, Holyfield was a huge draw as well. He, Tyson, and Hoya did great numbers in the 90's
its the truth. oscar de la hoya can sell out mgm grand plus 1million+ ppvs masturbating live. and i have a feeling you would buy it too:hey
DLH is the biggest attraction in boxing's history.... I though give Trinidad my full respect for always trying his hardest to provide the boxing world with great exciting and memorable fights... He was and still is a great attraction to this sport, could you just imagine if Trinidad knew English, how much more marketable he could've been...
of course DLH was the greater draw but who was the more exciting fighter who had the more exciting fights. Who delivered the bigger thrills in their PPV fights? Who fought them first? Tito Trinidad.
there are times though that tyson was more a bigger attraction than oscar but when it comes to tito and oscar. It is clearly DLH, before i didn't know anything and don't care about boxing when i was kid. I was only about 8 or 10, the only names i knew about boxing was tyson and DLH, and this is coming from someone miles away from the US
