mayweather thinks hes on Oscars level? well hes not

[DLT]

All in all, Im tired of arguing about the stuff but the fact is the numbers speak for themselves. If he fights Mosley or anyone next he probably does 1.5 at the minimum and if he fights Pac he probably does 3. How can you downplay that? No one isnt saying that Oscar isnt a bad boy but give Floyd his due. Im tired of arguing because I know Im not going to win because when it comes to Floyd he will always be hated on and it will always be spun how it wasnt because of him. It gets old to me. The man is undefeated, rated P4P #1 or 2, and is the biggest money man in the game. People dont want to accept that for whatever reason but they need to start.

Peace, Im out

Who do you think had to pay GBP? It was Mayweaher Promotions. Thats how it works

That makes no sense. Now you're saying Mayweather Promotions payed GBP for them to promote Mayweather Promotions?

Why would they pay GBP to do their job that apparently you believe they did themselves or were the "lead"?

[Vasyl’s dad]

so if you have to work to get somehting, that means its manufactured? I thought it was the other way around. I thought Oscar's was manufactured since he had the whole marketing team around him from the jump without doing anything. You could argue that he's an boxing version of Ana Kourinkova. Cant win any big fights but is the biggest draw. You dont think thats manufactured? Id rather have the biggest draw be the best fighter in teh game just like it is now. NOw thats the real deal

The real deal is this,

people were checking for Oscar De La Hoya as an amateur. They followed his rise to the Olympics and watched him win gold for his country and then followed his pro career.

How is that manufactured?




Having to set yourself up to be seen by the american public on television time after time to gain an audience is the epitome of manufactured boxing star.

Now go cry about it in your Money Mayweather bedsheets.

Actually, there was an article on here about it before the fight and everyone took it as bond when they thought the fight would bomb but I bet no one wants to admit it now. It talked about how Floyd overstepped by guaranteeign JMM so much and he also has to pay GBP. Thats why he's trying so hard to sell the fight and he's going to end up losing out big

Nobody's arguing with you homeboy, you're just simply overselling Floyd right now in comparison to what Oscar laid the foundation for.

Holla at us in a couple of years and it could be a different story.

But that's irrelevant because you're saying it was all because of Floyd's promotion, when in actuality it was GBP.

Why is that so hard to swallow?

[xAUGUSTUSx]

so what. You guys act like that makes Oscar special. Why? Because he really didnt have to work for anything? Oscar was also half Mexican which is a big help with this stuff and he was dubbed the Golden Boy from day 1 and marketed that way. Floyd had to work his way up. Thats why during the negotiations for the rematch, Floyd was one of the only few to tell Oscar to shove it because Floyd knew that he could do numbers without Oscar. Ask Shane how that is working out for him

No clown! stop putting words in my mouth. This thread started because someone said Floyd had reached Oscars super stardom. I'm just staing the facts that he has'nt. He was dubbed the Gloen Boy because he won a Gold Medal at the 92 Olympics. Floyd could'nt win the gold. Floyd still did'nt have to work his way up the old school way. Floyd was fed with a silver spoon coming up just like most up and coming prospects. So was Oscar but once Oscar got to the top he fought everyone.

[xAUGUSTUSx]

IM not mixing up what your saying. Im saying that he doesnt want to act like Oscar and that he is a star like Oscar, fool. Youre the one who doesnt get it. He is that star.

Because there was alot of money invested to make him that star.

[RL_GMA]

floyds done over a million 3 ****en times...oscar hasnt done EVEN ONCE...

unless he's fightin floyd ofcourse...

just keep hating haters...just keep hating..

Felix Trinidad (9/99) 1.4 million buys = $71.4 million

Bernard Hopkins (9/04) 1 million buys = $56.0 million

How is he a product of marketing when he made all his big bucks after he left Arum? Think about what you say before you write it.

He is a product of marketing by HBO and by his own team and even GBP. Oscar made Floyd. Oscar owns Floyd!
