    Oscar didn't need 24/7's to sell fights

    Check seems to think that Mayweather is a bigger draw than Oscar "ever was".

    What Check fails to see is that if Oscar De La Hoya had the benefit of a tailor made 4 week pre fight propaganda series on a major cable network at the time, he would've sold at least 5 million ppvs.


    Mayweather was not selling jack **** before HBO put all their money behind him.

    See the Judah fight for evidence.

    Or the Baldomir fight.

    Those are true Mayweather numbers. On his own, without the help of HBO.

    Without HBO plastering his **** all over the place, he's a 400k to 500k seller.

    And thats being generous.

    Quit the bull**** *****'s. And think critically before you say ****** **** like that.

    Mayweather needed a 24/7 to be "interesting" to the public. His fighting style never delivered and they needed something to gin up interest to compensate for his lack of excitement in the ring.

    "Gee, I can't figure out how Mayweather does it"....



    I gotta clue for you. It starts with H and ends in O.

    Figure it out.

      He sold 2 mill w/ out a 24/7.

      Mayweather could never do that.

            According to the TS, Mayweather-Mosley won't do 1m PPV buys.

              After a 24/7.

              He did about 2 mill w/ Tito w/ no 24/7.


              Without 24/7 hype, Mayweather is an average draw.

              He knows it too.

                I predict between 700k and 1.3m.

                  Tito is a big name, and they were both undefeated at the time.
