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

    He knows it too.
    Oscar did like 1.4 or 1.5 million with Tito.

      Thing thats amusing is in a few years the numbers will be the facts. If Mayweather fights Pac, it'll outsell DLH v Mayweather. Also, Mayweather v Mosley should do 1.5m

          Fair enough, though most of Holyfield's couple hundred million was made back in the mid 90s.

          Amazing how much easier it is to attack the poster rather than his argument, innit?

            Every fight will outsell the last, what part of that don't you understand?

            As time goes on, PPV get bigger and bigger because there are more viewers. To say that Floyd is a bigger earner than DLH is dumb.

                Oscar was the biggest money earner in the history of boxing.

                Actually when you break it down by decade and the amount of money to that respective era, Floyd isn't even top 3.

                It's;

                #1 Oscar

                #2 Tyson

                #3 Leonard
                I don’t know how you rank Oscar over Tyson. Tyson was much the bigger draw. Tyson broke 2 million PPV without the Internet and 24/7 and plus stealing cable was much easier back in the days

                1 Tyson
                2 Oscar
                3 Holyfield
