    I remember the black boxes, this wasn't that long ago. And yes, it is much easier to get a stream. No contest.

          IMO Floyd and Pac wont ever be as big a draw as Oscar until they make their own draws such as Oscar made them into draws

            I would still say Oscar and I echoed the response of someone else earlier in the thread, didn't think any more needed to be added.

              Too many caveats for me bro. I look at revenue. All-time, it's Mike or Oscar, because Floyd hasn't had the same longevity just yet. He's averaging much more than both of those guys though, which means it'll all come down to how much longer he wants to fight.
              i never once said PBF wasn't up there when it comes to alltime but with how easy it was to steall PPV back then there are hundreds of thousands of people worldwide who didnt pay to watch any of the fights live...i still think oscar by a landslide right now but in 5 or 6 years maybe not but oscar also retired by PBF's age...

                Do you honestly think I care that much about who's the bigger draw? I don't even buy any of their fights

                  Floyd made Marquez famous. Look at how well Pac/Marquez III did compared to their first fights

                    how many live streams get cut off? the black box didnt get cut off EVER for 15 years. they were also charging 19.99, 24.99 & 29.99 back then but now it's twice that if you actually buy it...$60 nowadays?

                      At least enough for you to post in this thread more than once apparently. It's all for arguments sake anyway. I doubt you're crying behind your computer, but clearly you can't bring yourself to say its Floyd.
