Could Floyd have sold 27,000 tickets fighting Steve Forbes?

[Scott9945]

For 25 dollars a ticket, probably.
But no, he is not as popular as Oscar.
Floyd could have got 400k buys against Forbes on PPV i bet.

I wish it were somehow possible to take you up on that bet.

The only guys who think he would sell 27000 tix are these two guys .

I don't care what state you put it in no way PBF could sell 27k to any fight by himself...FACE IT PBF NUT-HUGGERS HE DOESN'T HAVE A FAN-FRIENDLY STYLE...He had what like 2 K fans vs Hatton and like 2K vs ODLH..The weigh-ins sum it up he had no fan support...Floyd disses Cotto's fan base cuz PBF knows he can't sell **** on his own...When did Hatton or DLH ever use the excuse he doesn't have a fan base so I won't fight him...PBF is a fake and a fraud

[Easy-E]

no, he wouldnt be able to do 25K in Grand Rapids. just like Hatton/Mayweather was supposed to break DLH/Mayweather in the states right?

That was never the case or expectation.
Your just making **** up.

I would do it, he managed to sell 360k and 340k against Judah and Baldomir respectivly, and has since fought in a 2.1 million and 850k (plus over 500k in the UK) consecutive ppv fights.

U do have a point there. I have NEVER seen a champion use that excuse to avoid a fight with a deserving opponent. The sad part is, most of his fans are defending that excuse!

I was talking Live Attendance #'s. Not ppv #'s. Floyd pulled in 11k at the gate fighting Baldomir

The answer to that is NO. DLH draws crowds and huge PPV, that's why everyone wants to still fight DLH. None of Oscar's opponents have taken home the same pay days fighting other guys.

i don't think that floyd could sell 25,000 tickets at grand rapids, especially the price that his fight tickets have been in the past, he lives here in vegas and can't do that.

you could put oscar in Johannesburg's south africa and he's probably sell more tickets than floyd.

Why do people always talk about Floyd living in Vegas? Its not his hometown. Alot of fighters move to Vegas. It means nothing. He was born and raised in Michigan. People always make it sound like Floyd should do this or that in Vegas because he lives there? It makes no sense. He's a Michigan boy.

As for the tickets, were talking about if it was the same as the Oscar prices for Forbes. People are getting this all wrong. No one is saying that Floyd is a bigger draw then Oscar. Its obvious that Oscar is the #1 guy in boxing but Floyd is a clear cut #2 right now and people dont want to admit it. Its not even close. Then you have some guys on here talking about the Hatton fans and so on. Come on now, its a different Country. Why do people always brag on stuff like that. I always say that if Floyd was from Manchester then he would definatly have the same amount of people traveling to the US to see him fight. Boxing is bigger over there. If Hatton was a US fighter then there is no way that he gets those same amount of people to travel, just like Oscar wont get that same amount if he went over to fight Hatton. Does that mean that Oscar isnt a draw. You guys are talking about apples and oranges.
