Floyd is 2 fights away from being All Time PPV King & has been in less PPVs than DLH!

[Gino Ros]

Its a 2 horse race

Yeah... and one horse is ahead and the other horse is eating dirt.

[Pacquiao'd]

As far as I remember Most of oscars ppvs were 44$ not 60 or 70 like Floyds and Oscar fought before high def was an option.

Oscar and iron mike>>>>floyd

First off. Some of you cats are complete ******s. The economy was a million.times better.back on the 90s.than it is now. plus like you said, they were 44.vs 70 bucks. You just further proved how dominate floyd is

What else is funny is how people are trying to say its b/c of HD. BWAHAHA.

[Pacquiao'd]

If Oscar really made Floyd and Pacquiao PPV attractions, then how come Bernard Hopkins is not a PPV attraction? What about Shane Mosley?

Shots fired

Not to mention that there are many more entertainment options today.... and many more options to catch the fight for free.

Anyone here caught Tyson-Holyfield on a free stream? Thought not.

I'm sorry bro, good post but you are wrong about Chavez and Pea making Oscar the star he was. Oscar was destinied to become a super duper uber hudukae mortal kombat star, you didn't have to 'help' Oscar become a star you just had to grab on to his **** and aim for the Heavens brah

Except for grabbing Oscar's genitalia on a flight to heaven, you're right. Oscar had sex appeal across the board. Women, girls, grown men, boys who aspired to be like him, gays and trans-testicles all pretty much looked forward to watching the kid fight. It helps that he won the Olympic Gold, for cryin' out loud.

Come to think of it ,,, I believe Bob Arum spotted Oscar's golden nuggets, grabbed them firmly with both hands, and rode them all the way to heaven.

Also people pay to see floyd lose, thats the difference.

Good points. In a bad economy, no less.

Oscar currently holds the all time ppv record with $610.6 million on 12.6 million buys in 18 PPV events.

Mike Tyson is #2 with $545 million on 12.4 million buys in 12 PPV events.

Evander Holyfield is #3 with $543 million on 12.6 million buys in 14 PPV events.

Mayweather currently has generated $543 million on 9.6 million buys in only 9 PPV events. He is clearly on his way to surpassing all of the 2 major HW PPV Kings as well as the ALL TIME PPV KING Oscar. Floyds next fight will push him beyond the $610 million that Oscar made and Floyd will do it in his 10th PPV event. In his fight after that (his 11th PPV fight) he will surpass the 12.6 million buys, the record held by Holyfield & De La Hoya.

#s dont lie and when Mayweather retires he will be the biggest PPV superstar in the history of boxing & will have done it in less PPV fights than De La Hoya, Tyson & Holyfield!

Thats amazing considering he is a feather fisted runner thats boring

Cong****....Floyd is rolling with the big-leaguers now.......

[Atreyu Khalil]

This is directed at you and larry..

You guys know how PPV inflated right? Please you guys must know. In other words a Prime Oscar or Prime Tyson now can easily do 2-3 million for big fights.

Tyson did 1 million for Mcneeley for Christ Sake. A Prime Tyson vs Wlad in today's PPV era will do 5million.

So overall Oscar's PPV numbers were much more impressive.

I'm a huge Fan of Floyd's but let's not ****ing pretend Floyd was anything other then a no name before Oscar. He was a mega skilled fighter before Oscar but he was begging Gatti for paydays ok.

Oscar made Floyd. He made Pacquaio too

Once again not saying Floyd is not an ATG or that he is not the current cash GOD

But Oscar didn't need Floyd, Floyd needed Oscar. it is what it is

Oscar also made Pacquiao.

from the other thread...

This is silly.....and fact remains in 9 fights mayweather is right behind all the ppv greats in an age of a recession and the Internet. Also most would argue that mayweather is boring, he's so boring that his ppvs break records

Also Oscar never did anything close to what he did before mayweather

[Atreyu Khalil]

Are you trolling? Or just ******?

You realize that 1 million PPV Buys in the 90's is like 1.6-1.8 million now right?

I don't want to write out a entire damn essay on how PPV inflated with the current media internet online marketing era. But trust me it did.

What's more impressive.. Titanic's record in 97 or 'Avator's now... you figure it out

Even with that said mayweather has almost done what Oscar has in half the ppvs......

And please present your essay on "the theorie of how ppv is inflated" because as of now you haven't presented any solid factual data to back up your claim....
