Is Mike Tyson the real PPV king?

[Bullrider]

Yes, Tyson is the real PPV king. I don't remember my dad and my uncles rooting for Mike to lose. Fans want to see real fights and Mike usually comes in to fight and give everyone their money's worth.

does that change the FACTS of who sold the most ppv?

the answer is no.

and Tyson is my guy. he brought me to boxing.

You do realize that when Tyson was at his best half of all households still used antennas and there were about 85,000,000 US households. Today only 8% still use antennas and there are about 120,000,000 US households.

Floyds PPV numbers are simply market growth. The most boring fighter in the history of the sport would outsell stars from the 70s and 80s simply because of the relative sizes of the markets. Oh wait.

At his peak no one was bigger. But wtf is real PPV king? You guys are so desperate

There were people a couple of years back, who were actualy trying to make the argument that Tyson and DLH sold their PPV's in the "Black Box" era and that's why they are even bigger than Floyd, because a lot of people didn't pay for their fight, instead watching it illegally. As if streaming fights does not hurt the fighters of now like Mayweather and Pacquiao, which btw internet is 1,000 times more accessible than illegal cable boxes were. But yeah, when things get desperate, anti-Floyd fans can say a lot of crazy things that make no sense.

Let's have Tyson vs McNeeley today and see if it does 1.5million PPV's. Highly doubt it. Maybe half of that, the rest of the 800k+ Americans will be streaming that.
