    DLH responsible for Floyd AND Manny's current PPV takings?

    Simple question that requires no ***** or ******* responses.......

    My opinion....if neither ever faced DLH...neither would be pulling in 1 mil PPV numbers until they meet each other.....

    Floyd PROBABLY would've broken the 1 mil PPV buy against Hatton....and Pac more than likely against Cotto....

    Which would setup the PPV record breaking fight between these two....

    What yall think?

      yes both fighters benefited from the "Golden Boy Effect"

      even with the Golden Boy effect PBF-Hatton did not break 1M buys, he would probably break the 1M buys with Mosley...

          Agree. Just look at both of their numbers pre Oscar.

                Agreed....I mean...GBP is contracted to promote 5 of Floyd's fights right? So far we have Marquez, Mosley and in the not to distant future, hopefully Pac, Bradley and P-willy (I can dream right?).

                I see the last 3 fights breaking 1.5 mil PPVs easily....and I'm pretty sure DLH gets a nice chunk of that cake.....

                And does GBP still have a minor stake in Pac's career? If so...more money, more problems!

                  Technically it did break 1 million with the UK buyers. In a sense Oscar benefited from the mayweather effect as well. ODH did have the biggest fight of his career as well.

                    yes he is


                    but to dig deeper, Bob Arum is the one truly responsible for all their popularity


                    Arum was the one that built the DLH image
