    Face it, DLH made Sinclair into the draw that he is!

    Before the De La Hoya fight he wasn't as well known, not a household name and did ****ty numbers for a champ of his magnitude. Oscar slingshot Floyd into the spotlight and the stardom he has now. Before the DLH fight, Ricky Hatton v. Floyd Sinclair would not be selling like it is now.

        Funny how the haters like to undermine his part in the numbers altogether.

              And your point is. Floyd already knew this which is why he was gunning for Oscar. Which is why he went on dancing with the stars. You need to work to increase your fame. And floyd is doing just that.

                floyd had decent numbers,but oscar was for the most part the reason it did so well,just like trinidad de la did.we'll see how well his hatton fight does.
