There's no doubt who sold the fight. Margarito. Now, i hope we never have to read post saying how Margarito isn't a draw cause you know that Margarito is a big draw.
He wasn't a big draw till Cotto.
Now between getting knocked out and the wrap scandal, there aint no way in hell he packs a house like that again. A good half of those 21,000 fans were post Cotto bandwagon fans.
Not true. I went to Williams/Margarito at the Home Depot Center and it was sold out. One year later, I went to Mosley/Mayorga and it wasn't even 1/3 full. And Williams was a little known fighter then. But Mayorga was known and Mosley still couldn't sell it out. Bottom line is that Margarito was a draw before Cotto and after. And way more of a draw than Mosley.
f-k marga-cheato! that cheating piece of shit got what he deserved...Shane tapped that ass all night long, i hope they change the Cotto win to a No Contest after the stunt he tried to pull agaisn mosley.
Unless they can prove that there was anything illegal in his gloves for that fight, Cotto will have to live with that loss. His people had the same opportunity to watch the hands being wrapped that Mosley did.
i disagree, faded vargas faded mayorga sold out staples center,
That's because Vargas and Mayorga are the 2 baddest mother****ers in boxing history :boxing:.
Does it matter if Margarito is a draw or not? It's kind of lame thing to say, really. He lost, got destroyed, got caught cheating.. And all you talk about is he drew a crowd? Mosley drew probaly half of those.
yeah! 21K fans all cheering for Margarito!
TILL HE GET KNOCKED OUT!
YOU DUMBASS. PLS MAKE MORE FLOYD HATE THREADS. IM MISSING IT.
i kept respnding to yo, you got upset in your attempts to make yor own floyd hate thread, you didnt respond after trying and trying, you got mad at me, and resorted to typing cursing words at me, your computer screen while i laughed at your expense homie, green k to you if you respond again cause i definitely hate floyd, you looking for floyd haters , here i am, floyd ducked every ww with a pulse or no pulse, mosley and even toni, the cheater
Mosley came off a loss from Cotto and was away for a long time. Add in that Mayorga isnt really a eye-popping fighter anymore.

Shane Mosley didn't sell out the tennis arena at Home Depot Center in Carson, with Mayorga as his opponent.
If Judah did not pull out of that fight I think that would have sold out.

I think the Hollywood celebrity crowd came for Mosley
of course... half of em were standin behind him lol... Cuba Gooding Jr., Ray J, and I think there were more... I know George Lopez is good friends with all the Golden Boys through oscar...
and Terminator and Rambo at Ringside looked funny too... they were talkin the whole time.
He's a draw in LA... his hometown.
Mayweather's a hell of a draw in Grand Rapids.
Hatton is a draw in Manchester.
Pacquiao is a draw in the Phillipines.
Clottey is a draw in Ghana.
I mean, it's not hard to sell out your home arena.

Mosley always puts on exciting performances and even Margarito fans could appreciate that, he's not a boring ass runner who would rather settle for pot shotting when they have the opportunity to go for the KO.
I'm sure that helped, Mosley has normally been in entertaining fights throughout his career.
:lol1: :fing02:
Definitely, the fans realized they were witnessing something special.

Silencer has the perfect way of saying something in a nice, non-conflict provoking way. What he means is that the Marg fans that were there were the "post Cotto bandwagon fake type of fans". Not the "I support Margs no matter what because he's a great and highly skilled champion type of fans". And this is coming from Silencers, one of the most credible posters on this site. Dont take my word for it, ask around.
:lol1: :fing02:
Boxing fans always appreciate a great performance whether it came from the guy they came to root for or not.
I wasn't there, but I'm sure a lot of fans were inspired by his exceptional performance and the drama of the big upset. Shane is highly respected in LA and it's natural to want to root for the likeable underdog.
Definitely, the fans realized they were witnessing something special.
Did you know how cheap the tickets were going for? 25 bucks
seriously. that has to be taken into consideration.
is it possible that prices were that low because they were afraid of low attendance?
375 against Judah
325 against Baldomir
That is why Floyd - Hatton outsold Pacman - Oscar worldwide sales :afro:
What were the worldwide sales for Hatton-mayweather? like 2,225,000? De La Hoya-mayweather was 2.4 mill in the us alone.
