    Canelo and that Empty Arena

    Whatever happened to his Mexican fans? I was told Mexicans and Mexican Americans account for the largest paying boxing fans in the world. I was also told African Americans can't draw crap without a Mexican opponent. All of that was proven wrong in one night, last Saturday.

    Was the attendance even close to 5k?

      Mexicans don't respect Canelo. His biggest fans are white guys.

        Empty arena? What fight were you watching? I'm seeing 20K as the attendance for this fight. Let us know when Tank can put over 73K asses in seats like Canelo did with Saunders or $50K asses in seats without a big marquee name in the ring with him the way Canelo did with Smith several years ago.

          Do you know why they chose a smaller arena for this fight. 73K vs 20K is a huge difference and BJS isn’t that well know across the pond.

            No I do not. Maybe they didn't have confidence in Bivol's drawing power since his fanbase is mostly Russian? They wouldn't even announce him being from Russia, they said he was from Indio California. They also kept the arena dark, maybe for fear there might be a few Russian flags being waved about?
