      The Point of the thread is

      1. Floyd was Majority of the reason for the Huge P.P.V success and for the fight selling out in 3 hours in the fight with Oscar

      2. Manny Pacquaio with the same Opponent doesnt compare to Floyd, and He does not have the same drawing Power as Floyd.

        So you are saying if the fight was outside the United States of America
        (Richest Country in the World)

        This fight would do better than Oscar vs. Floyd?

        No i'm saying you could have had Pac vs DLH in any venue in the world and it would still do just as well as it will do in vegas. Pull in roughly the same total revenue and same fan ratio.

        Take floyd vs dlh out the us however and it takes a huge hit because there are very few non american floyd fans.

        Thats what i mean about Pac being the bigger draw than Floyd

          Floyd fans often say that he was chasing a fight with Oscar for years, and how he wanted to make money. If Floyd was a bigger draw than Oscar, doesn't that mean that Floyd shouldn't have been chasing him quite so hard? If he is such a big draw, why not fight someone else and make the money.

          I am not American so I don't know who is more popular there, but in response to point 2, it seems as if Mayweather is more likely to get people to pay for his fights based upon the numbers you posted.

            So you are Telling Me Outside of America:

            Pacquaio vs. De la Hoya would do $134.4 million domestically and $165 million worldwide, and a record $19 million live gate.????

              1. i seriously doubt that. oscar is the golden egg of ppv.

              2. drawing power in america probably not. to draw big you need casual or non-boxing fans there are very few of those in america. there's very few real boxing fans in the u.s. and the u.s. is only 1-2% filipino. worldwide though he definitely has more fans than floyd. there are 90 million filipinos and he's popular in other asian countries as well.

                I said for was Majority of the reason for the Huge P.P.V success and for the fight selling out in 3 hours in the fight with Oscar.

                MEANING: He sold the fight..He was the reason why the fight sold the way it did.

                If Im wrong than Oscar vs. Pacquaio should prove me wrong...

                Floyd was never in a National-wide Nike Commercial Pacquaio is...!
                Pacquaio is endorse by Nike.

                I can go on and on

                  he's dreaming. floyd didn't even do a ppv fight 'til only a few years ago.

                  oscar is more recognizabe worldwide and in america. most of america knew him when he was the gold in the '92 olympics for god's sake.

                    So by your vote in the Poll, and your Comments..

                    I am guessing you are willing to bet That Oscar vs. Pacquaio
                    will do better than Oscar vs. Floyd..???

                    Because I sure dont think it will


                    Dont ***** Out..!

                      He's saying if you took Floyd-De La Hoya outside of America the live gate would be horrible. Whereas if you took Pacquiao-Oscar outside of America it would still do well (not great)

                      And Oscar is a bigger draw than Mayweather that is undisputable. Mayweather has been in two big PPV fights with two big draws. Oscar has been in a dozen.
