Is Floyd a bigger draw than DLH?

[rizkybizness]

how much was Oscar making (as a fighter) back when he was active?

i believe he got around $25M for his fight against Trinidad

anyone know his purses for other fights?

just curious

Oscar made over 50 mill against Floyd, while Floyd made in the 20's I believe.

No one will be a bigger draw than Oscar IMO. Oscar made Floyd and Pac into the draws they are.

Pre Oscar, Floyd and Pac were mediocre draws.

nope.....but floyd is the biggest draw in the sport rite now.

After Leonard's career declined, Oscar was like America's new sweetheart.

You have to take into account the time as well. A fighter in the 90's in not going to make the money a fighter is now.

Oscar was making 30 million at a time when 30 million was unheard of.

ODH is the gold standard of PPv and live gates

[WarriorSoul]

Hell no, ODLH was unique in that he had a lot of female followings. That following helped to carry big ppv/live numbers for Oscar.
