    sidenote, imagine DLH Tito with a 24/7?

    Easily 2 million possibly 3 with both guys being undefeated and many prefight comparisons bringing up Leonard v Hearns.

      He just was.


      Some people have "it", some don't.

      So it has to be created.
      Exactly anyone can be made into a star. Look at reality TV show's. What do they promise if you? win the show you become a star.

        Oscar did a mill with both Hopkins and Trinidad, one of them (Hopkins) with his own promotion.

          Well yea that's another point. The production level and presentation and outlets for promoting fights today is much better than it was even 10 years ago, and Oscar and HBO have a lot to do with that.

          Again, I'm not one to **** on Floyd all day like some dudes do on here, I'm just not that naive. Floyd indeed is the sport's biggest money maker, but you can't just outright compare him to Oscar off of 3 big PPVs (which GBP had a part to do in each of the 3). Like, what's so wrong about admitting that?

            Because to his flock of merry maids,

            he can't ever lose.


            I disagree with you on the promotion of 10 years ago. Its just an HBO special, it could have been done which leads me to my next point,

            If Floyd or his team has brought anything to the sport,

            its great marketing ideas.

The numbers dont lie.
              WOW! it's official you are Floyds biggest fan. You believe every word he speaks. Your the same way I used to be about Mike Tyson when I was a kid. Before I followed the rest of the sport and had an understanding of boxing.

                We all died and grew a bit at the same time on that cold February night.


                Tyson was immortal before that evening.

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
                  if he fights Mosley and does 1.5 then both him and Mosley are getting those #'s. You said if he fights Mosley next he probably does 1.5. Why do you say he deos 1.5. Mosely is part of that fight aswell.

                    Well one thing we didn't have 10 years ago is viral marketing, which is absolute key in this day and age. I don't think Floyd or his promotion had really anything to do with that more than the networks just getting familiar with the times.
