Yeah, I heard about this a while back. How come europe seems to attract more live fans than America? I don't get it, you guys have the facilities surely to stage massive crowds, but don't seem to consistently go above say 20K?

their are so many spots to choose from in America that boxing is not the most attended. NASCAR gets around 100,000+ in attendance and college football can easily get 80,000+ in attendance. The American audience are not as nationalistic (in sports) as some countries because it is common to have an American world champion. How many world champions are their as of this moment in Wales?

I thought the record was 160,000 or something ridiculous for Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen.
