Larry Merchant's comments last night?

Yeah, that's too bad it was held where it was. Unfortunately for me, I was watching it on TSN. Between rounds they go to a commercial so I missed Julio stopping. The exact same thing happened with the Diaz-Freitas fight.

Oh, okay, thanks to both of you for clearing that up. Any idea was it was in David Diaz's hometown? I saw him in the crowd.... david diaz has his eye on the winner. He is more then likely going to fight Juan Diaz, cause Pacquiao or Freddie Roach is gonna want no part of Juan Diaz

HOrrible ticket sales in an arena no where near either fighters hometown. In Texas or California you would have seen a sizeably larger crowd

Wow that sucks, this is DonKings doing, Juan's next fight should be in a big arena and his style will surely bring excitement to the viewers.

Can anyone tell me what Larry Merchant was talking about at the end of the Diaz fight last night? From what he said it seemed like he was saying that the place was empty and should have been held elsewhere. Basically. The ticketsales for the fight were horrible. It wasn't even a big arena and it wasn't even like 1/2 filled. Both fighteres were from the southwest (I think, or train there at least) and the fight was held in Chicago of all places.
