Also Daxx, Hatton is only a real ppv attraction in the U.K and Marquez hardly has fans. Didn't his bouts with Manny do like 200-300k? I think Floyds star power shines a little brighter than people give him credit for - Whether it was because of Oscar or not, he's still the new Mr PPV.
Hatton is a bigger name or was a bigger name then given credit for...But there are UK residents and such in the US as well....

Marquez has plenty of fans...As for the PPV sales for him and Manny weree not too much different then PPV sales of lower weight classes especially under 130 this is nwhy there is not too many PPV fights at that weight...

Floyd Marquez did so well because of the
A possible PBF Pacquiao bout

People wanted to see what if anything Floyd lost during the layoff

People wanted to see how he did win or lose against Marquez....

If he won how much did he dominate...If he lost the possibility of Manny Marquez 3

They played big factors in that....

3 fights with Big PPV numbers that had circumstances around them do not qualiofy as the PPV King.....

Is Floyd the PPV king? It takes more then the 3 bouts this is being based on to assure that..I am not saying he might not be but people are jumping the gun....The Mosley fighthas drama around it aside from them 2 finally meeting...The whole Manny PED thing will help boost the sales added with 24/7...

I laugh because people have compared him as the next DLH in PPV but the day Floyd is able to sell PPV the way Oscar did with shit unknown opp will be the day he is the next DLH in PPV sales
