Did ODH v.s. PBF ppv.....hurt PBF's marketability?

De La Hoya's Biggest fight was vs Floyd Mayweather...2.5

Pac & Oscar did 1.25....

If everyone tuned in to see Oscar vs Floyd then why did Pac with his HUGE fan base and Oscar with his HUGE fanbase do much less than Oscar & Mayweather?

Only fools on this forum think nobody wants to see the best technical pure boxer of this era. TRUE Boxing fans have witnessed all of the great from way back, they know Mayweather is a legend & ATG Boxer. The public knows that as well. Fact is he is an attraction, he is an american boxer, his skills are incredible, he is entertaining and he backs up his **** talking in the ring. Thats what people love and hate about Mayweather

You're logic is to take everything out of context without mentioning the reasoning behind what happened to favor your argument.

You forgot to mention that DLH/Mayweather was marketed as "The fight to save boxing" from both the DLH camp and Mayweather camp. You forgot to mention that this fight came during a period where boxing was in stale state providing nothing for the casual fans. You forgot to mention that this fight introduced the 24/7 series for the first time giving casual fans a cinematic glimpse at what goes on behinds the scenes with dramatic music and clever and artistic editing.

How was it not going to do 2.5 mill after that? Of course it will fail to replicate the same kind of numbers after the first installment. Its incredibly difficult to keep something fresh especially when there are repeating elements.

But go ahead. Keep posting stats and what not. I'm sure it must be frustrating to have a perspective thats in the minority and of no true consequence.

PBF creates the hype......but he seldoms deliver.............it kinda like tito v.s. oscar.........he needs to do thode gattiesque performance in the big stage....against a legit opponent...............

lol at yea but the numbers are lower than the dlh fight they set the dam record man 2.4 mill dude i honestly dont even think pbf and pac will beat that number its a ******ed number bro if u doin a mill than aint nothing wrong with u as an attraction hatton brought people over for the gate not no ppv numbers and jmm was just a hyped tune up that was supposed to bomb but floyd sells man its the truth unless ur a pac fan ..i meen pac sells to but im not trying to say ow ell its oscars # Hatton# jmm #cotto# cuz thats wat u all say ehen they fight floyd but when they fight pac all there fans are gone and its just pac lol thats weak **** there

it doesnt matter how it was marketed...if people say mayweather has no fans and he is boring and he isnt a draw...why do they fans still pay to see him? Are you saying boxing fans are that gullible to look at the title of a promotion and order a fight with a running boxer that is scared to fight good fighters and has a boring style?

Once again i ask you..why did Manny(who was P4P #1) after DLH was coming off the biggest PPV bout in boxing fight Oscar and do 1.25 PPV's?...Ko's Oscar...KO's Hatton then does 1.25 vs Cotto....

has his star power not risen since the DLH fight?

[Jose Rizal]

yes it did the biggest number of PPV.........but most of those who payed for it wish they just waited for the replay..........it simply didt deliver.............Mr. mayweather have been having a hardtime convincing people he is worth the $$$$$ in the ring.....yes hes "entertaining" in his own way outside the ring..........but he just cant carry a PPV on his own like ODH......................PAC aint a PPV star like oscar too.......but atleast his style............converts people back to boxing

I think it also hurt Boxing. The 24/7 was compelling with the trash talk and all, and with Floyd promising a BEATDOWN...lol... but come fight night it never came. Floyd was brilliant offensively on a few occasions but there wasn't much "spontaneous combustion" as Merchant would've put it.

Styles make fights...

Styles make fights...

I think he could've put on the hurt on Oscar and given the fans a better show, to be honest, but like you said "styles make fights..." and his style is self-preservation.

[strugler]

LOL..i love how you avoid the Question....I asked you why is it that DLH-PAC did the same #'s as Pac-Cotto? has Manny not got more fans since his 2 Ko wins over DLH & Hatton?

who did decline more(ppv wise)................after oscar delahoya................PAC or PBF?....................answer the question........
