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

[Jim Jeffries]

I would say Floyd was shown to be a 350K range ppv fighter before Oscar and fighting DLH and winning definitly upped his exposure.
I expect Mayweather Hatton to do around 1 million ppv buys, so the difference is 650K.
Oscars impact on Floyd's numbers.

I agree

he won a gold medal then kept winning afterwards.

Plus Oscar had a huge female following that weren't even boxing fans before that.

[We want Floyd]

You dont need to beat a superstar to become one... if you just unify the belts and are good then people will start to reconize you.. lmao who did oscar beat to become an superstar?? noonee.. that just ruins your little theory

But DLH is the exception to the rule.

[Fox McCloud]

Is this really supposed to be a bait thread?

I think it is actually pretty on-point.

Floyd has always had pretty good star quality. He has made Gatti, Judah and Baldomir all have their biggest PPV numbers when they fought him... but now that he fought DLH, he is going to be an absolute superstar draw-wise.

[quntel]

people know who the draw is.....Just look out thh numbers.....


If ricky hatton is the draw why is this his first P.P.V

his fight vs. Castillo could been P.P.V
Or
With Collozo

why is this his First P.P.V in his whole carrer....




-check the sIG..

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

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.

Yeah your right in away but even before that fight people were watching him because they hate him!!!

[marsman]

I would say No...The Gatti fight is what initially brought FLoyd to the genral public because it was a PPV bout in which he was headlining....nobody knew him before that fight really unless u were a big time boxing fan....DLH defiantely didn't make him the draw he is...HBO and 24/7 made him the draw he is. He was already best P4p Boxer by the time DLH caught up to him....maybe the DLH fight is what MADE YOU know who floyd is....Also don't be ridiculous and think DLH is that special because he didn't make that nobody guy who whooped his asss on HBO before the Hopkins fight into a draw...so if your trying to say DLH takes nobodies and makes them do BIg numbers your full of ****

[brently1979]

I DISAGREE....THEY NEEDED EACH OTHER.... OSCAR NEVER DID THOSE NUMBERS BEFORE....


FLOYD HAS OUTSOLD OSCAR IN HIS FIRST 4 PPV.....

AND THATS A FACT....


SO HOW DID OSCAR MAKE FLOYD WHEN FLOYD OUT SOLD OSCAR IN THIER FIRST 4 PPVS.....

24/7 helped this one out a massive amount. Plus DLH & Golden Boy marketed the **** out of the fight, it had so much advertising it wasn't funny.

DLH is the biggest PPV star of all time. I'm not a DLH fan one bit, but it's the truth.

Sorry playboy but Mike Tyson is the Biggest PPV star....the only Fight ahead of Mike Tyson fight is OScar vs FLoyd....after them comes another 4/5 tyson fights....Tyson is the King of PPV and never forget it. His fights are the majority of the whoel top ten best sellign boxing PPvs.

[Kc-hoodsta]

i agree also

[Super_Lightweight]

Many people tune in to Floyd to see him get KOd. At least a third of the people buying the Hatton fight will be doing so just for that very reason. They want to see Floyd hit the deck.
