For two Non-American fighters to bring 51,000 people to an arena in the U.S.

If you saw that fight, literally no one was cheering while whitaker dominated chavez in the latter part of the fight. of the 45000 there, i dont think there was a single whitaker fan. Keep in mind, this was san antonio texas.

is clottey a bigger draw than whitaker was?......please answer yes or no only.....

The Filipino population isn't reallly high in Texas...

its not really that high anywhere. there were alot of non filipinos that helped make this fight huge, pacquiaos draw is beyond just his own people at this point.

[Roy Hobbs]

Is absolutely legendary.

Never been done in the history of the sport.

Just shows you the amazing drawing power that is Manny Pacquiao.

its absolutely shocking. if you think about it there wasnt really a name mexican fighter in the whole card. humberto soto never really had a large following. chavez jr. wasnt in the card, but for a asian fighter & a african fighter both of whom are not proficient in the english language, to draw this type of crowd is just amazing.

i heard there were more mexicans & white americans than filipinos & i heard that clottey probably had only less than 20 ppl in his whole corner.

I bet ya, most of the attendees weren't not local people...

[PAKYO]

You have to factor in that stadium. That was a HUGE draw in itself to be fair.

Ohhhh...so 50% of those who bought tickets did not really went to watch the fight then?

I wonder what else do you do in a stadium...

[Chups]

. I didnt think they would sell more than 42-45k but 51k is crazy. Alot of orientals at the fight ( not being racist, just what i noticed).

Are you sure it's not *****s on crack?

[FLYBOY]

Funny how people were screaming 'LIAR' at Arum when he said 45k tickets were sold :\

they can say whatever numbers they want, who is to check?

they r not gonna say oh we only sold 20,000. they will obviously boost because for future bouts they will tell the sponsors look we had 50000 ppl here last time

[Ekscape]

that is great... but i'm not sure if the TS is american but we don't give a **** if you're not from our country... if you're entertaining and we like you then we'll go support anyone
