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

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


        Arum was the one that built the DLH image
        Bob built up DLH....he built up Floyd...and he is currently with Manny...what's the pattern...Bob built them up...they made enough money...and have branched off to be their own boss (save for Manny).....

        .... (Bob)

              I think he did.

              There popularity exploded after they beat him. (More Floyd than Pac though)

                  off topic....much as Floyd fans might not want to admit it...the biggest beneficiary from a DLH win was Shane....his PPV numbers might not be anywhere Floyd or Manny....but he is a GBP PARTNER....can't knock on that....would you rather be the higest paid employee of a company....or one of the Executives whose signature is required for you check? Hmmmmmmmm

                    True, and if you go back even further the guy who invented humans is truly responsible for their success.

                      other side of that coin is that neither did Mayweather / Hatton (not counting UK buys for both Floyd and Manny which would then push both to over 1 mil I believe).....and Mayweather / Marquez did 1.05 mil buys....

                      Wonder if Mayweather / Clottey would even do 700K.....WITHOUT a 24/7?
