      I love watching him fight but he doesnt come off as a ppv star..
      I am a big fan of Mikey so I may be biased here but he is bilingual, has a Mexican and American fanbase in Cali and Vegas, well spoken, married with a family, comes of as honest and sincere, and is an elite fighter with skill and power.

      Most of all, he fights at 135 and can go up to 140 or fight any of the top guys at 130 coming up.

      Dude has all the makings of a PPV star IMO.

        he's a nice dude, atleast that's how he comes off.

        but he's very straight forward and boring. this is whats holding him back from becoming a star.

        I've never really see him joke around or anything, even in interviews, he's very straight to the point.

          Sergio Martinez is the best P4P dish of all time. Wladimir is aging but he's still up there (No homo.

            Lomachenko is probably the most handsome active fighter

            if he was murican and had a big fanbase, he'd be starring in PPVs already

              British boxer Frank Buglioni is clearly the dishiestactive fighter. No question in my eyes. Kid could easily be a model.

                I disagree. I can't think of any American fighters who were PPV stars with so few pro fights unless you know different...

                  when a fighter isn't controversial hes labeled boring, when that same fighter starts talking big ish, then hes arrogant, ******, not a good role model, and bad for the sport

                    Like the other poster said, it's about exposure. The DLH fight brought them to a wider audience.

                      Garcia was born in california, he's a mexican-american, aka chicano

                      chicanos are considered FAKE mexicans by mexicans, and they'll never get the same support as a born and bred mexican like Chavez or Marquez

                      chicano boxers are only supported by other chicanos

                      Oscar DLH's was never a mexican idol for a reason
                      they dont even count him as one of their own champs
                      That has more to do with Oscar beating the God of Mexican Boxing - J.C. Chavez Sr.
