Is Floyd a bigger draw than Oscar was?

[elfag]

are boxinscene really this ignorant?

I'm serious

you guys are either all 10 year olds or trolling.



You guys are comparing a guy who didn't have the luxury of online media exposure to a guy who's now fighting in the era of online media exposure as never before.

You guys are comparing a guy who fought in a era with a dozen other stars to a guy who's now in a era with one other legit star.


Trust me on this a prime Mike Tyson now wlil do 4 million a fight..

So is he bigger then Ali?


A Prime Ali now will sell 9 million a fight ppv probably, so let's calm down here about PPV.


The world watched tyson and oscar, most countries dont have that PPV stuff.

Floyd realistically dont even draw as much as vitali klithscko if you count in sheer number of fans watching .

LOL yeah they didnt have the internet when Oscar was fighting Mosley and Trinidad. We are talking like 10 years ago, not 25 years ago.

Yeah there were other big stars when oscar was around, you know guys like Trinidad and Mosley that Oscar fought, which somehow you think having other big names around to fight is detrimental to PPV sales, but thats because youre ******ed.

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

No, you said outside the box. That's called divirgent thinking, which is cool, but it's going around the question. The question was "Is Floyd a bigger draw than Oscar was?"

Cant compare them . Not many ********** had cable in oscars time .

Its like saying tyson was more famous than ali because of PPV BUYS

WTF really? ********** in america didnt have cable TV in the late 90s early 2000s? Do you have any idea how ******ed that sounds? Do you know what the unemployment rate is now compared to then and somehow think there would be more ********** with cable after the 2008 market crash than before when less of them are working?

[Check]

Boxing was bigger when Oscar was around yet Floyd seems to be on ESPN a lot more. You can cut it any way you want but Floyd is bigger than Oscar was. I don't care about how media is now or was, the sport is less popular but Floyd seems to get a ton more attention.

Yeah they fought in different eras except they used a time machine to travel because apparently they fought each other.

DLH turned pro 4 years earlier than Floyd. You think 4 years is a different era?

[Check]

@people thinking there was a huge difference in people buying ppvs now compared to one decade ago. Yeah, people surely didn't have cable in 2000. What are they gonna say next....hardly anyone had the internet in 2002???

ODH & MIKE TYSON by far the biggest draws EVER!!!!! no one will touch them...

[joe strong]

im old enough to have been apart of both fighters careers & it ain't close...ODH by a landslide!!!! look at who has the biggest gates, etc...i am not a big fan of either so it's coming from an unbias view.

We're looking at PPV numbers. And they share the highest gate of all time.

I wasn't asking what eras were more advantageous. It was a straight up question.
