      I think nowadays they'll all know who Tyson AND DLH is. They have their fare share of success' outside of boxing. Tyson had the video games and DLH was sort of like this magnet for women and teen chicks. They both sold a lot of PPVs but DLH has sold more and in a time where most people think boxing is not popular anymore. Tyson had it good in the late 80 early 90s.

          DLH might have sold more PPV's but he's also had more PPV's. I get what you're saying though.

              I have to disagree. DLH can go to Africa, Alaska, Austrailia, Asia, Italy Etc. and still generate millions of dollars. Just like Tyson once was, DLH is now the darling of boxing. Like I said before, Prime vs Prime, Tyson wins it (Popularity contest)

                    That might be the case but the question is who is more well known not who can draw in the most money. Lionel Messi for FC Barcelona is the darling of soccer however he is nowhere near as well known globally as someone like David Beckham.

                      Comparing Messi to Beckham to use as an example for Tyson/DLH is a bit farfetched. I don't know who Lionel Messi is. I'm sure i'm not alone here. Lol.
