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

[gqjohnb]

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!

Yep...........

[gqjohnb]

Can you say Felix Trinidad?

Yeah I can say that...

[fightfan_79]

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

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)

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

great insight, dumb****

[fightfan_79]

he definitely "passed the torch."

"Passed the torches"....yes?

[Pugilistic™]

I think he did.

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

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, ...

Good Points!

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.

Good Points!

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?
