Floyd will NEVER be the "cash cow" in boxing...

[iecen]

Yes...he did very well in his last two fights...but HE WAS NOT the attraction...
vs. DLH...it was DLH's star power who generated the PPV numbers....vs. Hatton...it was the Brits who contributed to the PPV numbers...
TOP 10 PPV Fights...
1- DLH / Mayweather = 2.4 mil
2- Holyfield / Tyson (rematch) = 1.99 mil
3- Lewis / Tyson - 1.97 mil
4- Holyfield / Tyson = 1.59 mil
5- Tyson / McNeely = 1.55 mil (1st fight out of jail)
6- DLH / Tito = 1.4 mil
7- Foreman / Holyfield = 1.4 mil
8- Tyson / Bruno = 1.37 (won WBC belt)
9- Pac / DLH = 1.25 mil
10- Tyson / Rudduck = 1.25 mil (how and why?)

Let's take a look at Floyd's last 5 fights......
Floyd / DLH = DLH was main draw....
Floyd / Hatton = 915K (pretty even draw there)
Floyd / Baldomir = 325K (Baldomir was "champ" lol! and Floyd was EXPECTED to beat him down)
Floyd / Zab = 350K (Great matchup and Zab gave him the MOST trouble, but just couldn't keep focused)
Floyd / Gatti = 340K (Again....EXPECTED to beat down Gatti)
and before the Gatti fight....he was and HBO fighter.....if you are expected to beat down another fighter or if you are the heavily favored...why wouldn't people want to pay to see a "clinic"....easy answer...because you ARE NOT AN ATTRACTION....FLoyd fan's...please thank Uncle Oscar for your riches...I guess that explains why he has a 5 Fight Deal with GPB....he needs their name and promotional skills......DISCUSS?

if I understand you correctly, then it goes to say that they could have had anyone in the ring with Delohoya and Hatton and they would have had the same numbers.

[Deja_Vous]

Oscar owns Floyd. Plain and basic common sense.
End of.

Oscar don't own ****.

Floyd is still in line for MEGAFIGHTS while Oscar retired IN SHAME..!

Mayweather is BLOWING UP

When was the last time you saw an active fighter do a commercial as big ass AT&T?????????????????????????

Surely not Oscar.

When people know your name YOU ARE HUGE.

Floyd is much bigger in the UK than Oscar.


Just watch...Floyd will pass Oscar in wealth...he probably already has.!!!

I firmly believe YES.....DLH and Mayweather was promoted perfectly.....and honestly...you could've put Mosley/Cotto/Margarito/ in Mayweather's place and it would've easily done over 2 mil buys. Mosley on the strength of their last 2 fights (even if it was years ago), Cotto for the pure fact of another Mexico vs. Puerto Rico event, and Margarito on the strength that "real mexicans" would've paid to see the "Golden American/ Mexican Boy" beat down by one of their own.

As stated in my thread...Hatton and Floyd draw was pretty even....but 20K brits made the trip across the Atlantic to support their fighter....did even 5K "blacks" make the trip to Vegas to support Floyd? (wasn't a real question becuase no one came to Vegas to support Floyd)

Rebuttle?

[S.G.]

I'm pretty sure Brits didn't contribute too much towards the fight's American PPV sales. You give us too much credit

[Home town hero]

floyd is the current cash cow end of. Not as much of a cash cow as odh or tyson.

[MANGLER]

Even if he ain't the cash cow, Mr boat buyer will always draw as long as he's got an opponent fans think can KO him. Or til he gets beat. Once his 0 is gone nobody will care to watch him anymore.

1) Oscar retired in shame, but paid handsomely for it......is that not what Floyd is trying to accomplish..."getting paid"?

2) Floyd is not blowing up...people are paying to see the other fighter give him his 1st Loss....when people are paying to see that...that means that no one likes you...

3) Since Floyd needed money to pay debts, he called ATT to see what he would be worth to be put in a commercial.....ummm....Pacquiao is fully endorsed by Nike...has two lines of shoes, a couple of WORLDWIDE COMMERCIALS with Kobe Bryant, Roger Federer (tennis), Maria Sharipova (tennis), Christian Ronaldo (Manchester Soccer).....makes Floyd's ATT commercial look like a "Welfare Case".....- Coming to America
3b) Oscar doesn't need to do commercials....HE PAYS FOR THOSE SPOTS ON TV....

4) How huge is Mayweather's name outside of the US? Mexico knows of him because of DLH, Brits knows of him because of Hatton....

5) Has Oscar fought anyone of UK decent or trained in the UK...NO (Sturm was German)? Did he promote his fight against Floyd in the UK....NO.

6) Floyd passing up Oscar in wealth??? Are you serious.....Floyd is rich...Oscar is Wealthy...big difference. If Floyd has already passed up Oscar...why does he need GBP to promote his next 5 fights? I'll tell you why...because Floyd doesn't know the business side of boxing...and until he humbles himself and learns not to outprice himself....no one will want to do business with him.

Oh...and for the next 5 fights....Oscar is signing the checks that Floyd will be cashing.....

You are correct sir.....UK PPV numbers aren't included when numbers are put out here....unless stated..."Worldwide PPV #s for (fight) are....."
You add up Hatton/ Mayweather worldwide...: 1.6 mil or more.......Pac/ Hatton worldwide...: 1.4mil or more.

Even if he ain't the cash cow, Mr boat buyer will always draw as long as he's got an opponent fans think can KO him. Or til he gets beat. Once his 0 is gone nobody will care to watch him anymore.

Couldn't have said it better myself......that's the ONLY REASON why people are watching Floyd.....

<--- Floyd telling everyone who will listen that he is the greatest

everyone knows that













besides floyd fans.

Love the Pac Left Hand Bomb sigs....almost look identical....almost.
