    hatton got 50k at the city ground. Hatton khan at wembley would do close to capactiy 90k for football probs more with fans on the pitch.

      I believe Chavez-Haugen broke the attendance record in Mexico with something like 130,000, but In not sure tghe exact number.
      I assumed he was talking about U.S. since Pac-Clottey is in Texas.

      I'm sure if you had every future Pacquiao fight in Manila, you'd break all the attendance records.

      So yeah, I was talking about U.S. only.

        Boxing isn't as big as it was back in the day.

        Nothing will ever touch Dempsey/Tunney attendance.


        Luisito Espinosa vs. Cesar Sotto drew more than 120K people i think its more than 200K at the Luneta in Manila 1996.

          I was talking about only fights in the U.S.

          Obviously Boxing is bigger than ever in the Philippines and around the globe, but not in the U.S.
