This comes as a surprise because Canelo’s next opponent Liam Smith is not considered that much of a threat by experts...
If Pacquiao can generate 50thousand for Joshua Clottey, you better believe Canelo will get more, Canelo is Mexican, Pacquiao was a filipino fighting a African and he still did in the 50 attendance at Cowboys.

it's all about ticket prices. i seriosly doubt they'll price the tickets so low that they sell 80K of them. there will undoubtedly be an element of mexican americans who will go to a canelo fight in the area regardless, but a lot of boxing fans are going to get tired of his antics. khan at least had a name. liam smith isn't even the best boxer in his family :lol1:
They are on ticketmaster from $40-750. I think the trout and Kirkland fights both had $15 seats. $40 is a lot for a nosebleed in stadium that big
There is a lot of buzz here in Dallas tho, but yeah I doubt it will be 80,000. My wife was trying to buy them on pre-sale, but I told her that there isn't any rush for us to get them. I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass for waiting, but I doubt it.
I love it : what balls on the part of Golden Boy silencing all the haters , all this talk about Canelo losing fans will be buried under AT&T stadium...who does that after pissing off so many people and then flawsin on they ass? tha Cashcow that's who...and don't be surprised if this sells over 400K.

Alvarez already fought in front of 40,000 fans (in San Antonio) and 31,000 fans (in Houston).
The may not use all the available seats at the AT&T Stadium, though...
