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

[brick wall]

don't tell that to floyd and his fans...for them oscar earned his biggest purse fighting floyd. it's the floyd effect not oscar's

[FLY TY]

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?

he definitely "passed the torch."

[gqjohnb]

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

True and if you go back even further the guy who invented the tv is even more responsible...

even with the Golden Boy effect Pac-Hatton did not break 1M buys, ...

even with the Golden Boy effect Pac-Clottey did not break 1M buys, ...

yes that's true, I am guessing without the Golden Boy effect PBF would break the 1M buys with Mosley and I agree with TS that PAC could break the 1M buys with Cotto if not with PBF ...

[AntonTheMeh]

yes. tito became a big time ppv attraction after the oscar fight as well. all those guys need to thank oscar. and no I'm not an oscar fan.

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.

Can you say Felix Trinidad?

even with the Golden Boy effect Pac-Clottey did not break 1M buys, ...

Pac / Hatton = 825K buys
Pac / Cotto = 1.25mil buys
Pac / Clottey = 700K buys

Floyd / Hatton = 915K buys
Floyd / Marquez = 1mil buys
Floyd / Mosley = est. 2mil buys

Numbers are numbers....and the fact is they both benefitted from the "golden boy effect".....

if we go that route technically PAC-Hatton also broke the 1M ppV US+UK...

IMHO after those two mega fights, I mean with ODLH & Hatton back to back for both PBF & PAC, they become even bigger!
