Is Floyd a bigger draw than Oscar was?

[bMak]

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

Or maybe you can just open your eyes and realize that the answer to the question is in front of you, no matter how badly you wish it was the answer you wanted it to be. How is everyone on Floyd/Manny's b@lls because Floyd is a bigger draw than Oscar?

And FYI for those unaware, TS is an Oscar fan.

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.

Don't know about that. Floyd outsold Oscar with Mosley by a good margin. And Floyd-Ortiz did 1.25MM, where Oscar and say Mayorga didn't break 1 million.

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.

Yeah the reliable stream. I knew more ppl with the boxes back then than streamers now. Half of the time you can't find a stream.

You are going to say that Tyson and ODLH weren't not more famous than Pac and Floyd?

[RichCCFC]

Yes and no, Oscar isn't fighting once a year or once every two years (boosts numbers) and Oscar basically made Floyd and Pacquiao the draws they are today.

This isn't even close! It's Oscar easy! Floyd usually needs other names or draws to do big numbers ala this next fight. Cotto and Canelo on Cinco de Mayo. Oscar was a draw like not other since Tyson. I grew up watching Oscar from the time he was in the Olympics and everytime he fought it was madness no matter who or where he fought .

Also Oscar didn't have the benefit of the social media Floyd has when he was in his prime. The Oscar fight catapulted Floyd into the mainstream and he took Oscars spot when he retired, he also took the May 5 and September Mexican holidays that were always reserved for Oscar .

OscR was the bigger draw when they fought which is why he completely dictated everything in negotiations. Not to mention Oscar has gone onto to own and run one of the biggest promotions in the world. Mayweather promotions will never reach these heights. This is one of the many reasons Floyd has so much hate for Oscar.

Oscar was doing big numbers fighting everyone and he pulled in non casual fans the way Tiger Woods did with golf when boxing was at a low point.

You van say what you want about Oscr buy he fought everyone and never ducked a challenge. He made the fights the public wanted with Trinidad, Shane,Quartey , moving up to fight B-Hop and tried to define his legacy instead of protecting it.

A lot of younger guys will say Floyd because they did not grow up in that era and see it while it was happening, but putting Floyd ahead of Oscar is completely wrong!

another pathetic attempt by desperate f l omos looking for weak ass moral victories.

oscar by a country mile.

I haven't verified those numbers, but even if they're true, Floyd already verified in many interviews that "he needs a dance partner".

How many interviews did DLH ever mention anything about a dance partner?

That alone should tell you who the bigger draw was.

Also, I think within the last few years, Mayweather is finally arriving at "solely" being on DLH's level as far as the bigger draw. But Oscar was the bigger draw more consistenly for the longer period of time.

[ramses07]

there are so many variables that arent being counted its not even funny.

if you want to say floyd by pure number then sure, but youre being awfully ignorant

[pugilistprophet1994]

Oscar. He made Pacquiao and Mayweather the draws that they are today. Also I wasnted to comment on what someone said that Mayweather sold 1.whatever million against Ortiz who isn't a PPV draw, but remember that, that fight was on Mexican Independence Day weekend and they had rising star Canelo who has a HUGE fanbase on the undercard and the Mexican Legend Erik Morales on the undercard. Without them on that card I'm sure that ,they would not have sold that much on that fight.
