      2+ mil to 850k is a huge dropoff.

      The comparison is easily fair. DLH has done million without Mayweather before more than once.

      Floyd can't say the same.

      The comparison is very valid seeing as how DLH is the face of the sport.


      Without DLH, we wouldn't even have a "Money May". DLH made his name on his own accord whereas Floyd piggybacked off of DLHs. Then, when he had a chance to really make a huge impact,

      he crawled back into his shell with his new money.
      Hes also done well under 500,000 many more times. Look at his second highest ppv number- Tito Trinidad. Nuff said.

        and Dave Rado, what does worldwide have to do with u.s. numbers?

        Seeing as how those people were paying to see Ricky, it further goes against anything you're trying to prove in regards to Mayweather being a draw.


        But do tell, what were the numbers worldwide for, "The World Awaits"?


        This should be interesting.
        is this really your logic? Dude obviously any fight with Oscar is going to be bigger sales than against ANYONE else. I cant even believe this is a discussion.

          Mayweather didnt ruin boxing, lol the fans ruined boxing. They let fighters like Mayweather fight, without having to fight the best. Mayweather was more of an annoyance then anything else, there were/are plenty of other fighters makin the sport interesting.

              lol Juan yeah, but Paq is on the Floyd blueprint. Floyd, Paq, Calzaghe, they're all the same and they've all been ontop of the p4p list. Go figure lol.

                Baldomir (everyone knew it would be an easy win)
                DLH (everyone knew it would be an easy win)
                Hatton (everyone knew Floyd would win)
                People for DLH and Hatton were pretty vocal for beating Floyd. It was around 60-40 for Floyd, but people thought Hatton and DLH would beat him.

                  Yeah right.............thats why JMM been able to be competetive against a monster like Pac. JMM, Mab, Morales and Pac were all great. The fab four of this generation in a lower weight class. JMM should hurry up though to reach MAB and Eric's level.....hopefully he does.

                    lol What!? Don't ever in your ****in life, in a conversation with me, every put Paq's name next to those guys. Are you crazy!?

                    Mab and Morales were on their way out, I mean they never made any noise again. It was just their time. Paq was apart of the new guys to take over, along with Soto and Guzman. Soto and Guzman went at it, lol Paq avoided all that and went after the softest targets. But I'll give Paq credit for havin the nerve to get in the ring with Marquez. But even still, Paq wasn't that impressive lookin in those fights.

                      Pac fought El terrible 3x,fought Mab twice, fought JMM twice i doubt Pac's name never shows up when people talk about them 3.
                      It takes a a special kind of legend to fight and defeat those 3 certified mexican legend.....I know its crazy fighting those 3 and winning against all of them.


                      Who looked impressive against JMM.....?John or MAb?LMAO

                      Talk about how great those 4 warriors are .........
