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.
    LMAO count up all the PPV's Oscar sold compared to Floyd's and i will guranteee you Floyd won't have more PPV sells...........the biggest Factor in Floyd selling PPV is his fight with Oscar that broke him into the mainstream just like Pac Man

    not even a oscar fan but that's the truth

        the reason he doesn't have more PPV's is because he doesn't fight that often and when he does i'ts not even against the best (pac) (martinez) etc bottom line Oscar is the higher grossing star and Floyd is NOT no matter how you try to spin it

            See the list above.

              Per fight he beats him, and so does Mike Tyson if you look up Tysons.

              When did it become mandatory for Floyd to fight Sergio, and I want that fight as well??? Sergio said he'd fight Pac, someone I'd bet you like, at 150 lbs and Pac straight up said no. So why isn't Pac fighting him???

              And both Floyd and Manny are to blame for the fight not happening yet. Only blind and bias fans of both can't recognize this.

              You strike me as someone who hasn't been on the sport for awhile with lines like "Floyd has never fought the best". Bottom line, take a look Pac's opposition lately before you trash his. Pac fighting Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez when he did was about as bad as it gets for a guy in his position.

                American boxers nowadays just do enough to win fights. I don't think they even aspire to become as big as Tyson, SLR, etc. You even rarely see them call out fighters they know casuals would be interested in paying for. Most of them see boxing as just another career enough to pay everyday living expenses.

                  That's why Floyd out sold him with Mosley, and the most PPV's both sold aside from their fight together was 1.4 million........keep trying.

                      Look at Oscar's first 3-4 fights PPV numbers and look at Floyd's before the Oscar fight, pretty similar.

                      Bottom line, Floyd is still a huge PPV star and on the level of Oscar was in his peak.
