For two Non-American fighters to bring 51,000 people to an arena in the U.S.

they can say whatever numbers they want, who is to check? they r not gonna say oh we only sold 20,000. they will obviously boost because for future bouts they will tell the sponsors look we had 50000 ppl here last time i thought you said arum was lying you little piece of shiet,, now STFU 51k baby!!

Has it ever been done before? If so, surely one of those fighters was Mexican at least.

i smell hate.

I agree, it's very impressive.

manny won't be payin taxes in texas.... but that's jerry jones' business. im sure he and his accountants will find a way to pay less taxes. either way it would harm them more if they reported a low number. Fine. uLOL

If Vegas had a venue that seated that many people it would sell out faster. lol, but why would that even matter? People don't give a shit how fast something sells out. I swear, some of you dudes are extra lame.

Tax people in texas doesnt audit revenues? manny won't be payin taxes in texas.... but that's jerry jones' business. im sure he and his accountants will find a way to pay less taxes. either way it would harm them more if they reported a low number.

that is great... but i'm not sure if the TS is american but we don't give a f*ck if you're not from our country... if you're entertaining and we like you then we'll go support anyone

Funny how people were screaming 'LIAR' at Arum when he said 45k tickets were sold :\ they can say whatever numbers they want, who is to check? they r not gonna say oh we only sold 20,000. they will obviously boost because for future bouts they will tell the sponsors look we had 50000 ppl here last time

You have to factor in that stadium. That was a HUGE draw in itself to be fair. Ohhhh...so 50% of those who bought tickets did not really went to watch the fight then? I wonder what else do you do in a stadium...

The Filipino population isn't reallly high in Texas... I bet ya, most of the attendees weren't not local people...

The Filipino population isn't reallly high in Texas... its not really that high anywhere. there were alot of non filipinos that helped make this fight huge, pacquiaos draw is beyond just his own people at this point.

You have to factor in that stadium. That was a HUGE draw in itself to be fair. That was the only draw it had it though. The was the whole promotion the stadium and Pac. Bob Arum said is Pacquiao and Cowboys stadium buy the fight... He didn't promote this fight. Imagine if he did. That shit could of really jumped off... And, that is why I don't think Floyd-Pac will happen anymore if Floyd refuses to fight in Cowboys stadium. Because, with that fight and promoted right that shit brings over 100k. The atmosphere would be crazy. Shit it was live last night. I never really been in something like that before.

Of course damn near everybody was pro Chavez. But, people still knew who Whitaker was. They just didn't like his style. He wasn't a draw because of his style. But, everybody knew how good Whitaker was. I don't think you can compare the importance of that fight to this one. Even though everybody was pro Chavez and hated Whitaker style. It was known that it would be a tough fight. It was a respected and anticipated type of fight. Pac-Clottey was not anticipated matter of fact it was a let down type of fight from the propose Floyd-Pac figth. And, I might be wrong but I don't think at the time there was a fight that over the Whitaker-Chavez fight like Floyd-Shane announcement overshadowed this fight. 51,000 for this event IMO was an amazing outcome. You have to factor in that stadium. That was a HUGE draw in itself to be fair.

I agree, but i think you and i both know, nobody in san Antonio was there to see whitaker. I spent 7 good months in that town, i know better mayne. Of course damn near everybody was pro Chavez.

True but lest also remember the importance of that fight. That was the Floyd-Pac fight at the time. The lineal JWW champ vs the lineal WW champ The top 2 best P4P fighters in the World. I agree, but i think you and i both know, nobody in san Antonio was there to see whitaker. I spent 7 good months in that town, i know better mayne.
