      The fact that Floyd can sell a PPV at such a high price, in this economy, with illgal streams is impressive as hell in itself.

          Good point.

          But I think its safe to say that Pac is very much a bigger star than when they fought before. but thats not to say Marquez isnt a star in his own right, Im sure he did benefit quite a bit from the exposure the Floyd fight gave him.

            It was crazy/****** how many people were referring to Marquez as "the guy who drank his own piss for the Floyd fight"

              Well I could if that's what I truly believed but I don't so.....should I lie?

                really? how about Oscar? what's the PPV numbers of floyd before Oscar fight?

                After Marquez-Floyd fight, what are the PPV numbers on these fights?

                Marquez - Juan Díaz
                Marquez - Michael Katsidis
                Marquez - Likar Ramos

                And did you know that Pac - Marquez II holds the records for most PPV buys on lower weights?

                    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.


                    You are a god damn ****ing moron, the vast majority of online communities started mid 2000's, the biggest factor isn't even online communities I just added that as a side factor

                    the biggest factor is the other stars around u ****ing ****** ******

                    and ROFL at adding shane mosley as a ****ing star u imbecile ****

                    oscar was around when Tyson was still fighting, when Heavyweight was still relevant . Lewis holyfield 1/2 stole a **** load of his numbers u moronic idiot

                    let's see prime tyson today and see how much floyd **** or manny **** do u ****ing ****** ****

                    get off both floyd and manny's **** and admit the fact their era have no stars ****ing puta

                    tell ur mom to stop sucking floyd's ****
                    ******
