Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Aims For Canelo-Smith To Have 70,000 Fans Present

Being Mexican, and being their #1 will. I never said if your Mexican then your an automatic draw. Keyword: canelo is Mexico's #1.so you are saying that being mexicos most popular automatically should bring 70k or 80k tickets or else isn good??? chavez sr the most popular fighter ever made 51k in texas, good luck with that... like i said canelo is getting close to a number that only chavez sr was able to bring, if you cant see how big of an acomplishment that is then you got issues... no other no1 from mexico other than chavez could generate those numbers until now.. even americans on their own territory wont generate that so dont make this about demografics...

For one, I was responding to the other idiot. Now, you go to ANY of my comments, please, and quote me word for word that I said the live hate would bomb. When you can't, then you can STFU and stay in your lane. :lame::fingersx:you're such an idiot and hater, I remember you saying this fight would suck and people would not go to see a coward fight, now that everything is working out for GBP and you look like the fool that you are you trying to retract yourself. I got my Ticket and ready to enjoy the fight.

How is it a Filipino can outsell a MExican native in Texas? I remember Oscar saying Canelo will break the 50 thousand tickets that Pac sold against Clottey, he said they were going to sell 100 thousand or something, smh Now they arent even past 30 thousand and the weigh in was empty.

you're such an idiot and hater, I remember you saying this fight would suck and people would not go to see a coward fight, now that everything is working out for GBP and you look like the fool that you are you trying to retract yourself. I got my Ticket and ready to enjoy the fight. Yup sames ones who said watch nobody will buy these tickets and now that they shattered Pacquiao record for tickets sold 50k attendance means nothing? LMAO

You'd have to be a serious sucker to buy a ticket for this fight It's worth a maximum of $50 and that gets you a seat in the nose bleeds with the only view being from a big screen Pay any more for a better seat and it is a blatant ripoff that will have fishnets laughing his head off at you I got my $200 ticket is the best view but is not bad at all.

I'm not so sure he could.... so far he has even in the fight with Mayweather Canelo's fans were 85% of the sold out arena.

This fight should've sold out already is what I'm saying and you know this as well. Im not knocking any numbers, the fight will reflect in PPV's. You go from commenting off my statement by comparing Manny's attendance to now mentioning GGG. Thats the sign of someone who has little to no argument so he makes every attempt to validate his statement by reaching. The fight isn't sold out as they claimed it would and that's not my opinion, it's reality. Settle down, you sound like a groupie bro. you're such an idiot and hater, I remember you saying this fight would suck and people would not go to see a coward fight, now that everything is working out for GBP and you look like the fool that you are you trying to retract yourself. I got my Ticket and ready to enjoy the fight.

You must of miss read, this is not a GGG fight. ^^^^^LOL^^^^^ this poor sad little man has GGG balls stuck in his throat all day every day.

being mexican doesnt automatically brings the fans, only other fighter capable of doing that is chavez sr... anyone who cant see that as a big acomplishment has serious issues or agenda... no one can sell tickets like canelo in america right now, not even americans.... If all you needed was to be Mexican then everybody would be pulling these numbers. But they not.

I'm not even a ggg fan but you fools defending Canelo make yourselves look ridiculous. Sorry but you can't convince anyone that Canelo is some global star. He's an overrated average boxer with a gullible Mexican fan section that Oscar takes for suckers because you don't know any better. QUOTE=bigdunny1;17043436]That's a bold face lie these are more expensive tickets then GGG's fight with wade and most of the fights HBO has aired. Including the Chocoalito fight. You GGG fanboys need to come up with another excuse and drop the this is just cheap tickets talk that has been debunked. http://www.goldenboypromotions.com/e...h-are-now-sale "Tickets are priced at $750, $500, $300, $200, $100, $85, $50 and $40, not including applicable service charges with a total ticket limit of 8 per person.

you're comparing it. margarito was never on canelo's level in terms of popularity for the mexicans. canelo could fight a bear and the mexicans will support him because that's their number #1 guy right now. the fact that pac who is not a native here, could draw that much is an accomplishment so im not sure why the need to compare as if this is a competition when its clear why canelo will prolly out do manny. mexico aint that far from texas. philipines is about half an ocean away. most of pac's fans that support him is from the states, very few will travel all the way from the philipines. where as canelo, he has the fan base here in the states, now add the thousands that will be coming in from mexico to see him fight. ^^^ this is all what i was saying!! good post G

bruh, what are you not getting?? i just explained to you that canelo has the fan base here in the states, plus the thousands that will be coming in from mexico. he could fight a bum off the streets and they will still come to support. manny only had the support from the fans here in the states. being mexican doesnt automatically brings the fans, only other fighter capable of doing that is chavez sr... anyone who cant see that as a big acomplishment has serious issues or agenda... no one can sell tickets like canelo in america right now, not even americans....

http://www.espn.com/columns/story?id=4993939&columnist=watkins_calvin ARLINGTON, Texas -- At the start of the night, the crowd was dead. Maybe it was in awe of what it was seeing. A boxing match at the $1.2 billion stadium in this city between Dallas and Fort Worth left some speechless. When the night was over, the crowd of 50,994, the third-largest to see an indoor match in boxing history, had seen Manny Pacquiao retain his WBO welterweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Joshua Clottey. "I was worried if there were a few people here for the fight," said Pacquiao, considered pound-for-pound the best fighter in the world. "Then I come out and I can't believe it." http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content7147.html Nearly 51,000 fans are in attendance at Cowboys Stadium to witness Manny Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title defense against Joshua Clottey. That number was debunked "The fight was rewarded with a paid crowd of 36,371 and a gate of $6,359,985, according to post-fight tax reports filed with Texas boxing regulators. Counting complimentary tickets delivered to sponsors, media outlets and others, the Dallas fight attracted 41,843, well short of the 50,994 that was previously announced, but still an epic number for boxing." Manny's attendance was 41K

the $10 seats tho

you're comparing it. margarito was never on canelo's level in terms of popularity for the mexicans. canelo could fight a bear and the mexicans will support him because that's their number #1 guy right now. the fact that pac who is not a native here, could draw that much is an accomplishment so im not sure why the need to compare as if this is a competition when its clear why canelo will prolly out do manny. mexico aint that far from texas. philipines is about half an ocean away. most of pac's fans that support him is from the states, very few will travel all the way from the philipines. where as canelo, he has the fan base here in the states, now add the thousands that will be coming in from mexico to see him fight.i only brought margos name to state that pac had help selling those tickets, canelo is fighting a noname , if anything we should be comparing margo to liam as the clear b side they are on both fights..

not hard when the ticket price has a wider range for people to choose from -- canelo - $750, $500, $300, $200, $100, $85, $50, $40. pac - $700, $500, $300, $200, $100, $50 pac vs clottey gathered up 51,000 fans at the stadium, this was against clottey! pac vs marg - 41,734 pac vs marg, pac was up against a mexican but you gotta be a fool to hold margarito (at that point) to a higher standard than where canelo is at now. canelo IS mexicans #1 guy right now. mexicans will always out do any other race when it comes to supporting their fighter. No it didn't.

who sells more tickets than canelo today??? He does and i will congratulate him on that and he deserves it,he worked hard for it,i wont take that away from him so respect to him for that, but that dont make him a superstar....

They giving away free tickets to make it look more full and then they probally still wont fill it up... It matters because this defines a superstar.... A superstar will draw casuals who know nothing about boxing,don't eve like it, but still come just to see the person in real life... thats a true superstar A true superstar is known all over the world...

I'm not so sure he could....who sells more tickets than canelo today???

both manny and floyd are superstars in america, why do they need to go to africa or manila??? africa and manila dont have the same ticket prices as in america not even close, canelo could do the same in mexico and no one is bringing that up... canelo sells more tickets than anyone in america(yes texas is america), like it or not... I'm not so sure he could....
