    The question was pretty simple. It was who's the bigger draw- not what's your theory on why Floyd's the bigger draw. And even then, you're acknowledging it's Floyd and still vote Oscar. Damn that Floyd hate is strong!

      A whole different era!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine the numbers Ali would do in this day and age. Hell even Tito would compete with Floyd and Pac. He had more charisma and equally matched Pac in entertaiment. The only problem he didn't speak English but neither does Manny although he tries.

        To paraphrase the responses: "Well...it's Floyd, BUT...!!"

          The top 3 highest grossing ppv boxers of all time:

          1. Oscar De La Hoya - $610.6 million on 12.6 million buys (18 events)

          2. Mike Tyson - $545 million on 12.4 million buys (12 events)

          3. Evander Holyfield - $543 million on 12.6 million buys (14 events)

            ^^In comparison to those guys and to put it into context, Floyd's headlined 8 events.

                The numbers dont lie, floyd has outsold DLH. They have common opponents and Floyd outsold him every time.

                People saying oscar arent thinking rationally and are voting emotionally.

                  The difference is, Floyd couldnt sell when he was a nice guy, he had to become a villain and make people hate him to sell. Oscar has been a gentlemen of the sport and still sold as much as he did. Generally to me, Oscar was a bigger draw but with 24-7 and all the Floyd haters (myself included) Mayweather ends up taking the lead becuase he is still active and even though I hate him, as a fan of the SPORT I will buy the pay per view, this time in support of Cotto. Although Cotto will lose, I still hope something strange happens and Cotto pulls off an upset. Peace.

                    Rational thinking would tell you they were around in different eras.

                      Apparently just as incapable as some of you are of answering simple questions. Or being honest
