    Is Manny Pacquiao a DRAW?

    4,000 seats are sold so far in his fight Saturday with Diaz. After looking at those numbers, 4000 fans for a pay per view bout leads me to ask if Pacquiao is a draw. From the looks of it on TV, when he fought Morales all three times, Barrera twice, and Marquez twice it looked to me the arena was pretty full if not sold out. So were these Mexican legends the reason why so many fans came to the arenas and ordered pay per views or is it Pacquiao all the way

      The Arena is almost sold out, and expected to be completely sold out come fight night.

      If ur using what DOMAIN posted, he was completely completely completely wrong.

      Someone posted an article in there towards the ends that says the truth

        I will be honest with you the number 1 Boxing fans are Mexicans! they like warriors to be honest.

        They order fights more then anyone regardless...but also they like to see those mexican legends fight and beat pacman so its a bit of both.

        but with this fight they didnt even do a countdown.

        and then They said people will only order ppv because the gas price is expensive.

          And of coarse those sold out arenas were due to both combatants.

          Morales, Marquez, and Barrera are all very popular and exciting champions.

          But Pacquiao sold 15,000 seats fighting a Solis, who is an unknown, last year.

            Marquez was only a draw against pacquiao though...his other ppvs were **** with the barrera fight he only got 175k buys, and barrera against fana and peden got horrible ppv numbers! barrera had like 50k and 75k buys for those.

            The real draw though is the FIGHT and Event itself.

            Mexico vs Pacquiao its nationalistic pride that sold those fights...

              plain and basic common sense. people pay there hard earned money to see those legendary mexicans because they always give the fans excitement everytime they fight.

                Why do people say " A " before a fighter sometimes? Theres only one of him ...

                  Jorge Arce was fighting on the undercard, that brought a lot of mexicans in too.

                  Like Barrera against Juraez 2 and Pacquiao 2?

                    Jesus, your hatred for Manny Pacquiao is ridiculous. He's a very big draw. But a draw ALWAYS done better with a bigger name.
