how much was Oscar making (as a fighter) back when he was active?
i believe he got around $25M for his fight against Trinidad
anyone know his purses for other fights?
just curious
damn, bully
big dunn's making you look like a str8 bitch
do something
Its only jokes based on the post.
But yeah, floyd's team came up with the 24/7 idea. Floyd, ellerbee and their lawyer (name escapes me) have a real good plan.
Oscar made over 50 mill against Floyd, while Floyd made in the 20's I believe.
No one will be a bigger draw than Oscar IMO. Oscar made Floyd and Pac into the draws they are.
Pre Oscar, Floyd and Pac were mediocre draws.
this is very true Oscar is Bigger alone than any fighter who have existed...
but combined PAC & FLOYD will DO NUMBERS EVEN ODLH could only do in his dreams
3 Million and more!! :boxing:
has hopkins ever even come close to a million buys???no..point is floyd had a big part in those record breaking sells him and oscar did..why didn oscar ever come close to 2 million buys before floyd???give credit where its due..floyds a huge draw
Promotions and 24/7 played a huge role. Saying Floyd is a bigger draw than oscar is looney. Also Hopkins pre Oscar sold more that Floyd pre Oscar, what do you have to say about that? People just hate Hopkins.
let me ask you this then...why cant hopkins sell out shit hell he ko'd oscar???
like i said floyds dont over a million 3 times just like oscar but he didnt need 18 ppv's to do it..and hes the biggest draw in boxing right now
Hopkins sold well until post Tarver The point is Oscar made Floyd, and Floyd has been fighting household names.
It's really this simple.
Oscar made Floyd.
Oscar made Pacquiao.
End of story.
Post Oscar Floyd and Pacquiao and Pre Oscar Floyd and Pac are two different things.
The thing that made them stars was fighting and beating Oscar.
People forget oscar had teenage girls spending their babysitting money to buy his fights. No boxer was getting that. He was a bonafide star!
I do think that the 24/7 made floyd bigger. Oscar was so boring and fake! Meanwhile, floyd made you turn in each week.
so oscar had 3 fights that reached over 1 million
floyd has 3
oscar
mosley
jmm
so i say yes..yes he is..plus him and oscar own the ppv record

Floyds biggest PPV before Oscar was 380K, you're tripping larry.
I went at it with check about this a while ago. Tyson made close to 30 million against Spkins in the 80s, but 30 million then was closer to 70 million now when you factor in the dollar of that times worth.
Right, you would have to factor in inflation. So Oscar's fights then could be more now (potentially).

ddddddaaaaaammnn
You have to take into account the time as well. A fighter in the 90's in not going to make the money a fighter is now.
Oscar was making 30 million at a time when 30 million was unheard of.

good point
he probably could
i'd like to see him fight cotto at 154
Huge Money! The other thing is seats at an ODH fight are WAY more exspensive than any other fighter. They also don't give away any seats!
