You have to look at what Oscar has meant to the sport of boxing . He pretty much carried the sport throughout the peak of his career. He has been the biggest draw over about a decade since Tyson. he also has had the ability to draw the casual fan that is not a die hard boxing fan. He has been able to bring people to the sport that would not normally be attracted to it, and that is something that Floyd has never been able to do and will never be able to do because the majority of people outside of hard core fans that appreciate his skill, do not like his personality and the way he carries himself. he does not have the drawing power or the charisma to bring people to the sport, and don't mistake berating opponents and disrespecting legends for charisma. Bottom line. Stop looking through the Floyd tunnel vision and step outside the box and look at it from a broader perspective of the typical fan, and being on dancing with the satrs does not make him a household name. Hell have you seen some of the clowns anb has beens they bring on that show?Comment

We had this convo in another thread.....
i AM TIRED OF REWRITING what i already wrote....
sonofisis's
And this makes absolutely no sense. Oscar has been fighting longer than Floyd and when prices are lower, more people tend to buy, hence, Oscar should have sold MORE ...
Who cares? Floyd's only had four, and has done better in that context paired against Oscar's first four, therefore, it is clear that Oscar didn't "make" Floyd Mayweather since Mayweather's ppv and immediate success was more apparent.
They both propelled each other during DLH-Mayweather (though Oscar was the biggest star), but Oscar didn't make Mayweather a draw, that's a false claim.
* Oscar was on P.P.V before floyd even started Fighting....
my question:
If you dont have a Gold Medal
your black in America
and you are not smiling all the time....(srl)
and have a Personality Like Floyds
how long do you think it would take you to get on P.P.V?
(how long is it going to take you to get people to pay $50 to see you fight)
Really..??
how long?Last edited by quntel; 11-28-2007, 10:08 PM.Comment

Oscar is fake and everybody knows it....
Even Mexicans know it.....
but at least Floyd aint smiling and ****, just so you can accept him....
he is who he is, and people can accept him or not, and thats why it took him so long to get on P.P.V...
and it doesnt change the fact that when he got On P.P.V
he has outsold ODLH in each of the first four appearances.....
so what you want too but that is a fact....Comment

You and the guy who posted that are in some serious denial.
Floyd hadn't sold over half a million buys before Oscar. Oscar has done this 9 times before Floyd.
And personally, I doubt Floyd will ever get over 1 million PPV sales again in his career. Whereas Oscar has done it nearly 5 times.
How can you still think that de la Hoya was not the biggest draw, oh yeah, you're too busy sucking on Mayweather's **** to use logic.Last edited by Marduke; 11-28-2007, 10:17 PM.Comment
