24/7 took boxing hype to a new level. The numbers tell the story. DLH/Mayweather had more hype than DLH/Trinidad and this is way more hyped than both.
A fight hasn't been this hyped since Holyfield/Tyson or the Welter weight (Hagler, Leonard. Hearns) super fights in the 80s.
I disagree. DLH/Trinidad was labeled as fight of the millennium back then. The (arguably) top two p4p fighters in the world and both were undefeated. Also had the huge Mexico/Puerto Rico rivalry going down as well as DLH having beat up JCC and fought tooth and nail with Ike Quartey in the same year and Tito had just dominated Whitaker. They were coming off gigantic wins. DLH/Mayweather was hyped as well but it was hyped as one of the more solid overall PPV cards in a while. No one was putting DLH as a top p4p fighter then. It was 3 years later and people were still talking about his "quitting" against Bernard.
