Again,

there is a marked difference in business practices. In the US, the objective of a big fighter is not to maximize the gate.

Casino-city arenas are small, and the best seats are 'comped' to 'whales' and celebs. Big-name fighters rely on the PPV revenues.

I'm not belittling the 50K. But you should not use that as some sort of benchmark to measure marketability vs a Yank fighter.

What is your point again? You're talking about marketing to disparage a huge live gate? Why? Does it threaten you? Help me to understand why mentioning the fantastic live occasion and the many traveling fans makes you want to start spewing numbers. Because I can't find any sense in it.

I really have trouble understanding the reasoning behind deminishing the OBVIOUS skills a fighter displays in the ring by criticizing his record. If Pernell Whitaker never destroyed Chavez, never fought McGirt, never humiliated Azumah Nelson, and never put on a clinic against Jose Louis Ramirez, he would STILL be Pernell Whitaker. He would STILL be one of the greatest defensive fighters ever, and he would STILL be an ATG fight.

Yep. You are 100 % correct with your reasoning with the above.

Joe got a W.
Floyd got a W.
Floyd made MUCH more $.
Floyd got hit less.

There is a certain contingent who would question the wisdom of your position.

Yes but luckily most of them have already been locked up.

He didnt read the post properly where you said that someone was saying the tickets only sold cos they were on the cheap, and that was your only reason for stating numbers.

He thinks he's smart.

I'ev already told countless guys on the forum that he doesn't like boxing. I'm not sure what his agenda is....I think it's more personal then anything. He doesn't like europeans.

He was whining after Pavlik - Taylor and Zag - Kessler...which just so happened to be the best fights of the year.

I'm drawing a distinction b/w the way events are presented in UK vs US.

I'll go slower next time.
