What are the most PPV's Oscar sold aside from his fight with Floyd....1.4 million against Trinidad. What are Floyds.....1.4 million against Mosley.

    On a per fight basis, Tyson was the highest selling, with Floyd in 2nd. Look up the numbers. Did Oscar sell 1.4 million with Mosley???

    You could easily say Floyd and Pac, per fight right now, sell more than Oscar did at his peak.
    Oscar is the OG cash cow

    Floyd is the cash calf

              That is boxing, if not every sport. Someone passes the tourch. To say Oscar Made Floyd, that is a joke and obviously a troll type of statement.

                Russell Jr, Trout, Garcia, Peterson, Broner, Mitchell, Wilder, Quillin, Berto, Alexander, Ward, Dawson, Donaire.
                If anything what is killing the sport is the idea that America has to have the stars, When does the rest of the world step up?

                If you claim the Klitschko brothers are Exciting, and nitpick Ward/Dawson or Mayweather... That is pathetic and hypocritical.

                    nothing is killing boxing
                    anytime something bad happens, people say "boxing is dead/dying"
                    the problems in boxing are the same as they've been for yrs
                    too many belts, too much PPV, ducking, political woes
                    even the most exciting fighters have a boring fight here and there
                    the guys who are always boring get no love anyway
                    they aren't letting anybody down because people expect it

                      Same with the state of the heavyweight division. Yet we are talking about a sport where you use your mind and the best fighters are crafty fighters, intelligent fighters.

                      Fighters who are intelligent don't only think of impressing, but longevity of their Caree
