    Anyone here caught Tyson-Holyfield on a free stream? Thought not.
    More people have the Internet now than they had black boxes in the 90s.....

      Floyd may make the most money, and sell the most PPV but he'll never be a bigger star than Tyson.
      A star wins.....Tyson hasn't had a decent in since the 80s man. Tyson's larget ppvs was when he was a non training, part time boxing for fun Side Show and lost all of them ......

        CAN FLOYD still be as big of a star as he is now in an era where there is
        Tyson-Holyfield-Oscar-Trinidad-. all taking a piece of the cake

        Even the likes of Lewis Prime Mosley were taking a piece of the spot light

        now there is literally nobody to share it with other then pac so of course floyd is the king
        Nobody knows if he could be a huge star.....that's a weak a s s comeback man......

          Oscar has had 18 ppvs in an era where boxing was much more mainstream and popular all around.....

          Mayweather has only had 9 ppvs and is boring and pillow fisted also he fights in the age of the Internet where millions can steal his fights.....

            Floyd is about to pass him up on revenue in less fights, in a recessive economy and with a boring style in the age of the Internet

                I don't care how many PPV fights Tyson lost. That has nothing to do with being the PPV king.

                Tyson is the biggest PPV draw since the PPV draw. Maybe when it's all said and done Floyd will be the one. MAYBE. But, no fighter period has been a bigger draw than Tyson since the PPV era.

                So not counting Dempsey, Louis, and Ali.

                    At the end of the day I will always have Tyson as PPV King. He was doing 1 million buys during the hotbox era. I LITERALLY never payed for a PPV at that time and he still hit 1 mllion. PPV king always.

                      Floyd will end up selling more ppvs and making more money than Tyson. But Tyson has that 1.5 with mcneely that just is incredible. I mean Peter ****ing mcneely. Floyd can't do that.
