100,000 fans IN ATTENDANCE for a single FIGHT

[GEOFFHAYES]

80,000 watched Benn and Bruno at Wembley. The general public loved them.

In the States, I don't think the general public cares so much about any of their boxers.

I was just rewatching DANNY LOPEZ vs MIKE AYALA and during the fight the commentators say that for one of LOPEZ's opponents, in the opponents backyard, drew a crowd of more then 100,000 fans???

i know the 70's are considered the golden years for boxing, but ive never heard of that size of crowd, or even a stadium that could seat that many...
