BIGPOPPAPUMP

According to reliable industry sources, last Saturday's junior welterweight bout between Erik Morales and Marcos Maidana drew a huge rating in Mexico. Morales lost a twelve round majority decision to Maidana at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It's being said that Morales-Maidana generated a ratings figure of 25 points, which is a little higher than the huge rating generated by Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's title winning effort over Matthew Hatton in March. Based on the high number, more than half the homes in Mexico were watching Morales go for a fourth world championship.

25 points would be 25% of homes, not half

You have to hand it to Maidana: massively overrated but he's been in some of the most entertaining fights in the past few years.

it pretty obvious it would draw more than canelo hatton. that fight was a set up and a joke. no real boxing fan gave hatton a chance in hell. morales is a tested warrior and so is maidana so its bound to draw the ratings.

It deserved to. That whole card was just excellent from top to bottom, minus the main event... which then proved to be the best fight of the night!

Maidana is not overrated, Morales is an ATG thats why Maidana looked bad.

wazaa.

Morales is a PPV attraction. Maidana is a car accident. You don´t really wanna look at him but you keep on looking at the mess.

cmon waz you gotta admit maidana is interesting to watch because he gives it his all and does not back down in the ring...anyways you looking forward to tommorows fight? im not as much as i was for khan/maidana or khan/malignaggi...i would have been looking forward to it if it was khan/prescott II now that fight i would have gone to the M.E.N arena to watch live...this fight with mccloskey is decent not excited to watch it really but will be worth watching, the undercard is good as well
