Floyd would sell out the whole stadium, easy. Floyd vs. Cotto in New York would be a pro-Floyd crowd. Just like Hopkins vs. Trinidad turned into a pro-Hopkins crowd even though it was pro-Trinidad at the start.

This number is a disappointment for Top Rank. When you consider that Miguel Cotto would regularly do 19K at Madison Square Garden, and that is without a popular regional ***ish fighter.

To put 20K in ANY house is solid. But relatively speaking, this isn't a good number for an event of this type.

Foreman is not a popular regional ***ish fighter. Of the people there, I'd say there was maybe 500 fans for Foreman. TBH, I thought there was going to be a bit more Foreman fans but there wasn't. It was all Cotto fans.

Floyd would struggle to do 20,000 people here in his home state if he fought a guy with no name like Foreman. Floyd is not a draw and certainly not a draw in New York, compared to Miguel. Miguel V Floyd would do well though at Yankee Stadium.

I doubt Floyd could make does numbers against someone like Foreman. I agree that Cotto-Floyd would sell out the Stadium.

There was about 4-5000 ***ish fans for Yuri.

Didn't see too many fans there for Yuri...all of them were easily drowned out...

PPV wise, not attendance. People are more than willing to throw down 50 bucks to see him fight on the tube but most don't want to put down hundreds to thousands to see him scrap live, just not enough **** for your buck. If Mayweathers live draws were equal to his PPV buys he would be filling big arenas every time he fights, since he can do a million buys a fight with his eyes closed now. Oscar and Tyson drew big PPV buys but their peaks at least ppv buy speaking isn't as big as what Floyd is now.
