    Mayweather was a big name in boxing. When a PPV king like ODLH fights a big name (such as p4p #1) it would be natural for even his draw to be bigger.
    So the numbers did have something to do with Floyd?

    I am confused now, cause you just said they didn't... they either did or didn't.

    If Oscar has never done 2.4 million buys without Mayweather, then how does it have nothing to do with Mayweather?

    The guy fought Tito, Mosley, Hopkins, etc. and they didn't do that many buys, so if it is the case it has nothing to do with Floyd... where have the other numbers magically appeared from?

    how many times did PBF having ANYTHING CLOSE TO 2.4 million buys?

    I know Oscar had quite a few huge numbers, PBF I believe had nothing close to even 1 million buys.
    Mayweather vs Hatton did 900k+ buys and I hear it did around a million or more in the UK (don't quote me on the UK part).

    So, your saying... because Floyd has never done 2.4 million buys without Oscar it was all Oscar, and because Oscar has never done 2.4 million buys without Mayweather Floyd still had nothing to do with it and it was all Oscar?

    Lets face it, the buys did have something to do with Floyd on his part, I aint saying Floyd did it all... of course Oscar and Hatton had a lot to do with it too... but you can't say those buys had nothing to do with Floyd, thats just ******.

      I haven't been able to watch it as much as I'd like because it's always on at like 5am.

      I'm looking forward to seeing Artur Kyshenko/Souwer

                  The thing about Cotto/Pac/Hatton/Margarito is they draw because of nationalistic pride. They appeal to the lowest common denominator and fight for their nation's pride. Unlike in America, we have tonnes of skillful fighters and we don't care about one fighter since we have so many.
