Bigger draw-DLH or Pacquiao

[VatoMulatto]

Regardless. Bro, I hate to break it to you, but no matter how much you try to say otherwise..............Oscar is a bigger draw than Manny. UP UNTIL THIS POINT. Manny may become bigger down the road, but up until now............Oscar is still the PPV KING. And #2 is Tyson in my eyes. And Manny would fall in at number 3. And that's from a HUGE Floyd supporter. Manny is truly transcending the sport, right now, IMO. And good for him, for doing so!

Nobody is bigger than Mike Tyson. Tyson is the biggest name is boxing period. Everybody around the world knows who Mike Tyson is.

oscar was the bigger draw no doubt, Thats also one of the reason's he was called the golden boy because of the $$$ he generated. pac is not the big blockbuster star that everyone thinks he is.

Wasn't Oscar called the Golden Boy before he even went pro?

If you compare the bigger draw now, meaning this present time, yes Pac and Floyd are bigger than Oscar cuz Oscar is retired already.

If you compare their career, Oscar beat both Pac and Floyd.

You have to remember that advancement in technology, better marketing/advertising of fights. Also, there are more homes that have cable and dish tv compare in the 90's.

Oscar's first ppv was in his 18th fight against Ruelas(corrections if i am wrong). Floyd's first ppv was against Gatti, his 34th fight(corrections if wrong).

Pac's first ppv was against Morales on his 42th fight. Now for somebody like Pac who came across from the Pacific Ocean and accomplish what he did, that is amazing. And i am not being bias when i say this but it is hard for a non-American to make it big in boxing here in the US. Even if Sergio Martinez is 25 years old, it will be hard for him to what Pac has accomplish.

I think Pac is, IMO....

I think right now both Pac and Floyd are bigger than Oscar ever was.

Oscar > Floyd > Pac.

this put us on very upset in my village but it is the true.

[PrinceCharlez]

who is the better draw? oscar in his prime or pacquiao now? DLH sold out the 30,000seat Home Depot Center against a no name opponent easily. i think he could have gotten 70k at Cowboys Stadium..what do you guys think? (keep it clean guys lol)

I think this is a ****** question....Pacquiao or oscar de la hoya the golden boy? The guy who can come back and sale millions off his name...tell me your kidding?

[FloydTBE]

ODLH no doubts

Oscar > Floyd > Pac.

this put us on very upset in my village but it is the true.

No,

Floyd>Pac now>Oscar at any point of his career.

pacman vs money = 5-10 million ppv buys.

[Championart]

OK and?

The question is Pac now and Oscar in his prime. And, now Pac and Oscar are bigger than Oscar ever was...

Oscar in his whole career has 4 PPVs where has a million and more so far Pac and Floyd have 3.

But, if you take there equation out, so no Oscar, Floyd or Pac.

Oscar has 2 PPV events where he did a million or more-Tito(1.4mil) and Hopkins(1mil)

Floyd has 2 PPV events where he did a million or more-JMM(1.1mil) and Mosley(1.4mil)

Pac has 2 PPV events where he did a million or more-Cotto(1.2mil) and Margarito(1.15mil)

And, it is safe to say that Tito was a bigger draw than what JMM, B-Hop, Mosley, Margarito, and Cotto ever were. Just take that into account.

Look how close that is... And, Pac and Floyd are still going to numbers where he would do more million buys. And, if they ever fight each other it would break Oscar-Floyd numbers.

They're bigger now than what Oscar ever was....

+1 agreed, i think people are misunderstanding the TS's question and not looking at the facts.

[McFearless]

I get what the TS is saying but you also gotta look at the opposition. The biggest reason they've fought the people that they're going against already had a built in audience. That's why you only hear about manny and floyd talking about fighting only guys that are draws, no? They dont want anything to do with anyone that doesnt have a solid name. You're going to tell me that Cotto and mosley and hatton don't bring anything to the table? Yeah right! I guess there's exceptions like the clottey fight but someone brought up the mayorga fight as a comparison for oscar. Oscar fought guys that no one really knew on hbo ppv for his whole career! Floyd and manny are looking for guys that'll also bring somewhat of an audience. Then ts is talking about oscar not getting his highest ppv without floyd. That may be somewhat true but at the same time oscar was still the main reason because oscar had been doing very well on ppvs for a while at that point. So pac and floyd still have yet to meet their own high point. And without fighting each other I don't think they're repeating their success they had with fighting oscar.

When floyd and manny start making OTHER fighters into ppv attractions then this discussion would be a little more interesting imo
