mayweather is the biggest draw of all time

[gratz_the_king]

DLH, and tyson are NOT bigger draws than mayweather


there is a simple reason why, and its the same reason why music sales across the world have decreased:

INTERNET PIRACY

in the early 90's, tyson was able to do 1.55 million buys against a bum like peter mcneely for the simple fact that there was NO OTHER WAY TO WATCH IT other than ordering the ppv. the same goes for DLH in the late 90s and early 00's ...internet piracy wasnt what it is today

i wouldnt be surprised if over a million people streamed the mosley/mayweather fight. out of those million+ people, i would say that 800,000k of them would have given in to temptation and bought the ppv if this was 1996. add that to the 1.3-1.7 number and that would mean you have a potential record shattering 2.5 million or more.

floyd is the biggest draw of all time. lets not even bring the economy into this either... for floyd to do these kind of numbers against DLH, hatton, JMM, and mosley in this day and age and in this economy, it means hes the biggest draw of all time.

Try Floyd with a bum, see how he sells lol it might not even do 100k

This is absurd. Tyson will always be a bigger draw then Mayweather and Pacquiao.

[Flawless*]

You could argue that the internet has helped PPV numbers, youtube,facebook and twitter are easily accessible my millions. Marketing has become easier now a days, a video on youtube is enough to hype a fight

[Sweet Jesus]

They had black boxes in the Tyson days. I know that's how my friend's dad watched Tyson fights.

[BattlingNelson]

Why not measure in terms of ink in newspapers? That way you could measure Floyd against all-time. ...and in which case Floyd wouldn't even crack the top 50.

[M.I Truth ?]

Tyson's era had illegal cable boxes.

[Uturn]

Tyson is a far bigger household name then Mayweather and Pacquiao. Everybody knows who mad Mike is.

[BlackHat]

I even doubt an illegal server could live stream with a million viewer.
