    The only way this become bigger than Oscar/Floyd is if Pacquio changes his name to Mike Tyson, and Floyd changes his name to Oscar Delahoya.

    look at the most buys either of these guys have gotten in a fight without Oscar and the answer is an easy one.

    No.

    Maybe...
    Pacquiao would have to win say a first fight Vs. Floyd then maybe a rematch could generate BIG bucks.

    Not coming close... maybe beats Hatton-Floyd which I think did 1.2 milli. I dont see any 2 current fighters today doing those numbers.

    Shows you just how poplular Oscar was.

    No it would do over a million but it won't touch PBF-Oscar.

    I'm in agreement with the rest of the fellas - it doesn't even come close.

    It would do pretty good - but nowhere nears as many buys.

    it will be the 2nd biggest. the only way its bigger is if Pacquaio spanks Hatton and Mayweather spanks Marquez, it would do 2 mil buy IMO.
