    Tyson and ODLH were more famous for a longer period of time than Pac or Floyd has been

          by average per fight, yes Floyd is a bigger draw but if its by total PPV's sold, Floyd still has several millions to surpass him there. so the debate can go either way right now. Maybe not so in a few years if Floyd stays active.

            The best way is to go by average numbers per fight IMO since no fighters ever fought the same amount of PPV fights.

              Some people need to get their head out of their a**. Or their head away from Pac's and Floyd's balls.

                And Floyd Pay Per Views are in an era that we have a lot of illegal streamers. He and Pacquiao's figures could be much higher.

                It could go both ways. Ah the excuses.

                  I think so Oscar passed the torch to Mayweather like Chavez Sr passed it to him.

                    I'd have to go with DLH. People now days wanna pay to see Floyd lose, unlike with Oscar, after he loss and on until he ways way past his prime he was still a PPV mega money bringer. It's just my opinion but I don't think Floyd could do the same!!!

                      No Oscar was the bigger draw.

                      Floyd's a bigger draw with a dancing partner.

                      Oscar was Oscar and the dancing partner all in one.
