      The fact that it sold over a million shows that PAC was already a star himself!

      I mean, look at all of DLH's highest grossing PPV's prior to PAC, it was all co-starred by a star fighter, ie Trinidad, Mayweather.

      There's no way a DLH PPV would've even hit a million if he wasn't fighting another boxing star.

      Like I said, DLH gave him an opportunity, if PAC would've lost, he would've been just another DLH victim. Do you even remember how big an underdog PAC was for that fight ?

          Don't get wrong impressions, I am a Pac fan myself, but these are hard facts, just be thankful that DLH gave Pac that opportunity

            Fake post count bro. As if I could actually make 84,000 posts since I joined! It's maybe one quarter of that amount, realistically.

                2.4 million my man. How can we trust your numbers to be right now? Your off on one, you could be off on most.

                  It's only a rough estimation my friend, I'm only off by a few numbers, It would really help if you can post a better result

                    Assuming i give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that it's a "fake post count", a quarter of 143 posts per day is still ridiculously high. You hurt yourself way more then you helped yourself with this post my friend.
