okay, so dlh is the ppv king, right? yes... and in order for anyone to buy ppv's, they are going to know a little something about boxing, right? yes... so you are attempting to tell me that floyd wasnt really heard of until he fought dlh? you guys are 100% wrong... he was a -200 fav and they sold a shit load of ppv's... why was it such a huge ppv? because people knew who floyd was and that he could win... its really not that hard to realize why the ppv was so big...sure, it was floyds biggest match and victory, but in no way was it a fight that put floyd on the map...he had already abused belt holders and world champions and he was the FAVORITE...the world knew about floyd well before he fought dlh... no clue why anyone would think differently, but its simply wrong.
