Please don't come with the illegal cable crap, cause now we have illegal streams which equally hurt PPV numbers.
Having every PPV for boxing, MMA/UFC, pro wrestling (I never cared much for it, but damn more people wanted to watch those at my house than any boxing or ufc). Those were the days man, those were the days.

Do they understand when Ali fought Shavers half the TVs in the United States was tuned into that fight?
Even if Floyd or PAC do like 6 million a fight their still baby numbers.
Ali vs Foreman had a third of the world audience... compare to Floyd and manny's 1-2 million PPV buys lol
just saying
let's not go crazy with 'the biggest draws of all time' bull****

Floyd & Oscar are 2 different people. Oscar was also born into glory winning the gold, being mexican, and having the HBO backing from day 1. Thats going to make you a bigger star right off the top.
Floyd felt that Arum was holding him back. He thought he shouldve been a bigger star and making more money. Even though Floyd was a top P4P guy, he never got him a PPV fight til Gatti.
George Foreman during the first JLC fight that one thing is for sure and its that Floyd has his 1st PPV fight in the rematch and Arum still didnt do it. Then magically when Floyd is at the end of his contract, he then gets him the Gatti fight.
Floyd isnt dumb and bought his way out that contract after the fight. Then he left and blew up. No doubt Oscar made him a much bigger star but Oscar still made way more money with Floyd then he ever had in his career, it was Floyd's idea of the 24/7, and Floyd sold that fight much harder than Oscar, not to mention everyone wanted to see Oscar vs the best P4P fighter in the sport.
Meaning, you have to give Floyd some credit for that also. Then they didnt have the rematch because Oscar tried to pimp him like he did in there 1st fight which Floyd said Hell NO to. Alot of guys have told Oscar hell no but they end up making scraps. Floyd said Hell No and went on to put up bigger numbers than Oscar did. You have to give Floyd some credit for thatLast edited by DLT; 03-26-2012, 12:28 PM.

This TS is right on point. PPV sales don't generally mean anything to fans. Back in the days they don't even know what's going on behind the scenes. They don't care. Now fans are more into dickriding than seeing fights. They'd rather justify their idol's ridiculous demands than seeing the fight even after repeatedly saying "my idol will definitely beat yours if they fight". You'd expect that they'd oppose the roadblocks. They'll defend them tooth and nail. It's unbelievable and embarrassing. You'll never see anything like it in your lifetime.
