I remember being in Mexico on vacation when Boxing was off tv, every crap fight was on PPV and you needed a special satellite to even get it. It's really sad Morales and Barrera were in their prime during the dark ages, those guys were known more in the states then in their own country. I think what turned it around was Arce being on that reality show, he became a pretty big celebrity off that.
I knew Mexican nationals that didn't follow boxing but knew who Arce was and would watch him fight, when he fought Hussein Hussein on the Morales vs. Pac 1 under card that got a lot of casuals fans hyped up. That fight really delivered and so did Pac/Morales.
