21K fans all cheering for Margarito!

[Cadillac Kevin]

Did you know how cheap the tickets were going for? 25 bucks

seriously. that has to be taken into consideration.

is it possible that prices were that low because they were afraid of low attendance?

[Silencers]

Silencer has the perfect way of saying something in a nice, non-conflict provoking way. What he means is that the Marg fans that were there were the "post Cotto bandwagon fake type of fans". Not the "I support Margs no matter what because he's a great and highly skilled champion type of fans". And this is coming from Silencers, one of the most credible posters on this site. Dont take my word for it, ask around.

Boxing fans always appreciate a great performance whether it came from the guy they came to root for or not.

I wasn't there, but I'm sure a lot of fans were inspired by his exceptional performance and the drama of the big upset. Shane is highly respected in LA and it's natural to want to root for the likeable underdog.

Definitely, the fans realized they were witnessing something special.

Mosley always puts on exciting performances and even Margarito fans could appreciate that, he's not a boring ass runner who would rather settle for pot shotting when they have the opportunity to go for the KO.

I'm sure that helped, Mosley has normally been in entertaining fights throughout his career.

There's no doubt who sold the fight. Margarito. Now, i hope we never have to read post saying how Margarito isn't a draw cause you know that Margarito is a big draw.

He's a draw in LA... his hometown.

Mayweather's a hell of a draw in Grand Rapids.

Hatton is a draw in Manchester.

Pacquiao is a draw in the Phillipines.

Clottey is a draw in Ghana.

I mean, it's not hard to sell out your home arena.

Shane Mosley didn't sell out the tennis arena at Home Depot Center in Carson, with Mayorga as his opponent.

Mosley came off a loss from Cotto and was away for a long time. Add in that Mayorga isnt really a eye-popping fighter anymore.

If Judah did not pull out of that fight I think that would have sold out.
