    If Dela Hoya looked like Margarito or Mayorga

    would he sell so many PPVs? Seriously folks, get a grip. Who cares about PPV sales as long as we get the fights that are important.

      Mike Tyson was never a handsome guy and he sold.. it's not about the looks but personality, reputation, etc.... Oscar with his olympic gold story would have sold either way.

            I really dont think his looks sells that many ppv's. Its more due to his ethnic background and his former legacy he is clutching on to with his fingertips.

                I think more people would pay to see people who dont look like the sterotypical boxer succeed in the sport like de la hoya and pavlik. I mean who really wants to watch to ugly ****s go at it, its more fun watching people who steriotypically dont look the part kick peoples asses who look the part. Examples De la hoya vs mayorga and Pavlik vs Miranda.

                  Its not just Oscar's looks. Any American Gold Medalist is going to be marketed and received very well.......look at SRL, Ali.......all big names all olympic gold medalist.
