sigh....this again?
13% of the US population is black, even if every single black person in america was supposed to think alike and supported every black figher....thats still 87% of the population unaccounted for.
nobody can sell tickets without support from white and hispanic fans, since those two groups comprise the majority of the population at this point.
if this notion of "black fighters cant draw" is even true.....then, to me, the next question should be: why is it so difficult for white and hispanic fans to attach themselves to black fighters? "styles"? latent racism? or what?

and this was done with the help of PPV Draws-Morales, and Saul "canelo" Alvarez on the undercard.
If Morales and Canelo Alvarez had not fought on the undercar, the Floyd vs Ortiz PPV event would've sold about 500,000 PPV Buys instead.

you have fights in the same places constantly and not everyone lives in those places. if you have to travel all the way across the country you have to pay for flights, hotels, food, and whatever else. it's not just buying a ticket to the local sporting event and having a night out. maybe spread the events out over the map and people will start to care more knowing they aren't always gonna have to make a vacation out of seeing a high-profile fight.

I've said this before, black people don't buy ppv's ...mayweather is an exeption, he has personality and is practically hip-hop/rap representation...
Tim Bradley will prove how black fighters don't sell, especially when you look like E.T and have the personality of a rock
