Oscar telling Mayweather that he still holds the record and was the bigger cash cow.
Oscar De La Hoya @OscarDeLaHoya
@FloydMayweather congrats on 1.5 million homes. A few more fights at that pace and you just might break my record.

LMAO @ inflation... Do you people know what inflation is?
Inflation has nothing to do with the actual number of buys...
Inflation only involves the natural economic evolution that occurs are people make more money, things begin to cost more, and the nominal numbers for revenue, profit, and incomes must be adjusted to account for inflation...
The actual number of buys has nothing do with inflation. Cut it out...
Lets leave out the fact that Canelo was on this card as well as Mosley which im sure did a big help on the sells.
Yeah, Because you'd pay $69.95 to see canelo v shane.
You guys are funny. These two posters completely ignore the inflation variable, probably because they don't understand it.
It's hilarious that as big of Floyd as I am, I have no problem with the truth.
Something as common-knowledge as Oscar made Manny/Floyd can actually be argued against today? What's next, in ten years people will claim Ali never existed and is a myth? Good job human race. Let's get stupider!
ODH didn't make floyd, the 24/7 platform did. ODH gave floyd a great opportunity but floyd ran with it and made it happen.
The problem with your inflation argument is other fighters did 1.99 mil during that period.
And this means what again when floyd got oscar his highest numbers? Yeah.
This!
Oscar's biggest PPV before FMJ was with another big name "Trinidad" and he only did 1.4 mil. Most every PPV he did was below 1 mil. Once he fought FMJ, the 1.4 mil, bumped to 2.4. That tells you all you need to know.

Floyd`s PPV numbers with Gatti,Judah and Baldomir was good numbers and it was all before he fought Oscar.And Floyd`s biggest PPV was with Judah,a fighter who has a small fan base and never beaten a big name,me and was coming off a loss to a bum when he fought Floyd.
Oscar contributed to Floyd being a bigger PPV star and that was all,Floyd was already a big PPV star before he fought Oscar.Oscar never did anywhere near the numbers he did with Floyd with other PPV opponents he fought.

This is directed at you and larry..
You guys know how PPV inflated right? Please you guys must know. In other words a Prime Oscar or Prime Tyson now can easily do 2-3 million for big fights.
Tyson did 1 million for Mcneeley for Christ Sake. A Prime Tyson vs Wlad in today's PPV era will do 5million.
So overall Oscar's PPV numbers were much more impressive.
I'm a huge Fan of Floyd's but let's not ****ing pretend Floyd was anything other then a no name before Oscar. He was a mega skilled fighter before Oscar but he was begging Gatti for paydays ok.
Oscar made Floyd. He made Pacquaio too
Once again not saying Floyd is not an ATG or that he is not the current cash GOD
But Oscar didn't need Floyd, Floyd needed Oscar. it is what it is
Oscar also made Pacquiao.
Oscar made everything and everyone
Oscar is like a God
But "boxing is dead"......
Pretending it wasn't a KD on technicality because the ref didn't see it doesn't change that it happened.
You actually think Mayweather is not worried at all about Pacquiao, when he's made it so difficult for the fight to be made, even talked about fearing for his health vs Pac, and gone out of his way to degrade Pac and his achievements through the media as if he wants to make him go away?
You actually think Manny could win?
Yup, in the same way that Mosley "knocked" Pacquiao down lel
Well actually Floyd didn't get ruled as a KD, but Mosley got ruled a KD for when Pac's gloves touched the floor.

lol you forgot to mention Canelo, Mosely in there on a mexican holiday. They contributed the bulk of the show.
And only 1.5ppv.. That's disappointing.
500k canelo (mexican fans in a mexican holiday)
Cotto 500k he is even a bigger star than the last time he fought pac. 500k easily.
Mosely 200k, afterall grandpa mosely is a houshold name
leaving Floyd with 300k plus the undercards and he is getting the bulk of the ppv. Damn highway robbery Floyd.
Schaefer must be scratching his head again..
Floyd is getting the bulk of the revenues when he is pulling that small only?? Highway robbery baby! That's what it is. Floyd is laughing his way to the bank.
DLH knows his been had again. Floyd is getting the bulk of the money when he only pulls in 500-700ppv buys.
Scahefer and DLH are very upset. They got swindled by the conman.
Floyd ain't pulling the numbers expectewd of him. It was expected he should pull in at least 1m but knowing canelo can pull in 500k on a mexican holiday, and cotto can pull in anothe 500k, that leavesd 500k for Floyd.. sad sad sad
The winner here is Floyd who seems to swindle even promoters lol.
When will they ever learn not to deal with a shady character..
DLH knows he pulled that ppv numbers, his fan boys and Floyd himself thinks they can just take it lol
News Flash Floyd is the B side in that fight Floyd fans.
Have fun with this fact: If Oscar came back today and fought Floyd again he would stand a better chance at beating him than Manny ever will.
lol, the only thing factual about that is that Pacquiao will never get the chance to beat Mayweather because Floyd keeps running. All I know is, is that if Zab Judah could land straight lefts and knock Mayweather down with a right hook counter, Pacquiao can do likewise and he can do more damage and do it for 12.
Let's all be honest and just say that mayweather and pacquiao would be no where near as big now if they didn't fight De La Hoya. I'm sure PAC knows it, and I'm damn well sure mayweather knew it back then seeing as he was jumping for joy in the audience during the knockdown in odlh's comeback vs mayorga.
he probably sees maywewather is slower now and
thinks he can come back and beat him ...
and make alot of money for both him and mayweather

DLH just stroking his own ego. Did something similar at the press conference claiming there were rumors the winner of Mosley-Canelo would fight him.
Anyway he should send a similar tweet out Pacquiao's way, since he has generated 10M PPV buys himself, only the fourth after DLH, Tyson and Holy to reach double figures, and the only non-American to do so. (Why do ppl pretend Floyd is going to break DLH's PPV total record, when it's more likely Pacquiao will do it first?)
Without Oscar De La Hoya boxing would have been dead a lot harder and earilier.
Oscar obviously love homo erotic stuff and drugs, that's fine but his raw animal sex appeal and magneticism along with his sheer ability to attract anything and everything with or without a dick is purely unbelivable.
You're making me wonder lately.....Raw animal sex appeal???
if it is so inflated why are only manny and floyd doing over a million
Because the massive PPV numbers are being racked in by Dana White and the UFC. Didn't you hear about the unbelievable success of the free FOX event on Saturday? The world is eating it up!
He is right though, about PPV inflation, and Oscar's demi-god status.
You are a retard. I will not bother to explain how ppv works to you, because it will probably flood your mind and you will go into seizure
Find my other post about if the HW DIVISION is relevant in the US today
Floyd and Pacquaio will be doing baby ass numbers and be considered JV attractions
these ****ing lightweights are lucky the big boys are dead.. I love 130-154 divisions and that is where the true skills lay, but let's be honest what we are seeing in this era is a product of media marketing and online frenzy, lightweights will never never never be the ultimiate flag ship of boxing.
wait till the HW division pick up again and see what real PPV numbers in this era can be
