this thread again. honestly,, i haven't watched floyd last 2 fight just because i haven't give a fuk.
i remember right after oscar lost to hopkins and retired, motherfukkking tony whatever and michael wilbom were talkiing bout boxing being dead because no stars will be made. then what happens, of all people you got a defensive fighter who becomes a ppv attraction and a 4'5 filipino who can barely speak english become 2 of boxings biggest stars. who the fuk saw that coming?
what i will admit though,the sport of boxing will never become popular as it used to be decades ago in the "states". people fail to realize, boxing is global. 2-3 weeks ago you had 2 eurocacs fighting in front of 80K cacs in Wembley stadium in England. you got the heavyweight champion, wladimir klitschko who has fought on hbo about 2 times in the last 6-7 years, fighting in front of 30K plus crowds in germany and russia. nobody here in the states give a fuk about them cacs but motherfukkkas overseas and in they backyard are buying there tickets like it's blue magic. boxing is fine and personally, i think within the next 3-5 years boxing will take off in the asian market.

The next american heavyweight that can win the title, defend it, and put on a bit of a show will be actually BIGGER than mayweather. Imagine if James Tony was a legit heavyweight and was a theoretical successor to the post holyfield/tyson/lewis era... him and his mouth would've been bigger than mayweather is today.

James Tony in no way shape or form, would be bigger than mayweather
I don't why people just refuse to give mayweather credit, he has more ppv buys than any boxer in history
If Broner would've beat Maidana he would've been well on his way
Who got Eroll Spence coming up, some other young guys the talent in boxing in a great place
the heavyweight division needs a dynamic champ, not just an american

...i don't think I was taking credit from mayweather...in FACT I was giving him MORE credit for reaching the level he did at his weightclass;
Heavyweight boxers are a bigger draw than middleweight, this is a fact with the ONLY exception being mayweather. And if you look at all time grossing draws i'm certain outside of mayweather you'll see A LOT of holyfield, tyson, lewis, and other heavyweights.
So
what i was saying was that IF you had basically a heavyweight mayweather, he'd be the biggest draw ever and that the closest thing to that possible I've ever seen was an IMAGINARY version of james toney.
no need to overprotect or cape breh
Once again De La Hoya had the record before Mayweather, so what does that tell you
Star Power Draws period
the heavyweight division doesn't have a star, that is the only factor in the entire situation
mayweather was already passes his prime when he became a figure in mainstream media
but he was already an icon in boxing
Boxing is a real G's sport, the Wilbon's and Skip bayless' of the world have no barring on the boxing world
Them boxing tickets are not cheap you spending 13 racks for good seats, and thats aren't even the best
there's nothing wrong with boxing, when people say dumb ass shyt like this it just shows they don't follow the sport
of course if you're not paying attention the sport, it would seem like it is dying
in my mind skateboarding is dead, that may or may not be true, I just don't give a fukk about that sport so it's not visible to me

Tyson/Lewis had the record
Once again you have no clue what you're talking about as usually
Evander and Tyson II did more than Tyson/lewis
DLH and floyd broke the record, and DLH was the A side
put besides that, after the Tyson Lewis era, DLH was the biggest star in boxing ,followed by Mayweather

nikka you said DLH "had the record" before Floyd which is INCORRECT.. you were trying to argue @Ed MOTHEREFFING G 's correct point that, historically, heavyweights are a bigger draw than the smaller weights.. then you have the nerve to tell me I dont know what I'm talking about..
what an idiot...Tyson/Lewis 1.97
Tyson/Holyfield 1.99 mill
Oscar nor Floyd didn't have any record until the heavyweight division fell off

Tyson/Lewis 1.97

Oscar nor Floyd didn't have any record until the heavyweight division fell off
Notice Tyson is the only nikka in that equation, Tyson was the draw, it had nothing to do with HEAVYWEIGHT
Tyson is a star
That shows me point, stars are the draw it doesn't matter what weight class
Oscar was the A side for that fight, Floyd didn't become the draw until after he beat oscar, everybody KNOWS THIS
Yeah Oscar became the draw after tyson fell off, but it's not his fault Tyson fell off and nobody took his place, oscar would have been big regardless
there's more than enough room for every division to shine
also Floyd took over the has the number one draw, nobody else, so that goes to show you it's not about weight class
because Floyd broke the Record V.s. Canelo, and Floyd has been the number one draw in boxing after the De La Hoya fight
what so hard is that for you to understand
If Mike Tyson came out today and did those numbers, Floyd would still do his numbers, one does not affect the other
also the record isn't even the amount of buys, it's the revenue generated
Canelo and Floyd generated 150 Mil
De La Hoya/Floyd generated 136 mil

You claimed Oscar had a some record before Floyd... All I did was point out that was false..
As far as the rest of what you're saying.. Tyson was a star indeed but the fact that he was a heavyweight made his star power so much greater... You think Tyson needed to only fight Mexicans on Mexican holidays and super stack the undercard to sell a million ppv buys?? Hell no.. Unlike Floyd, the majority of people who buy his fights just wants to see him get beat bye someone.. And even thats getting old.. If Mike Tyson came out today and the Heavyweight division was like it once was Floyd would not be as big as he is today as far as ppv goes... ODLH just happened to pop up at the right time, and he filled a void.. you think that loser would've been as big as he did when the heavyweight division was popping?? :
