I don't know how much people care about Marg anymore. He's been out for a while, after getting KTFO. Then came back, fought a bum, and looked bad.Comment

69.9k of ball licking Pilipinos that will go see him even if He's fighting a dog, and the few hard headed/but very patriotic fools who think Margarito is good. Most likely, that will be the last cents burned on that..Comment

Just like the Ricans that went to go see him fight Jennings, Foreman, and many others that weren't really a challenge.Comment

70K sounds reasonable, hell even 80K could work if they do the party pass thing again.
No one would've predicted Pacquiao-Someone no one's ever heard of outside of hardcore boxing fans would do as well gate-wise as it did. I remember haters saying they would be lucky to draw 20K for the Clottey fight, too bad I couldn't see their faces when HBO announced it was 51K in attendance.
70K will be reached EASILY, and more promotions (especially 24/7), a higher profile MEXICAN opponent would make 80K possible.
But of course the haters will do the usual "nobody wants to see this fight, they won't get 30K people unless the tickets are $1. It's gonna bomb in PPV too". Then we get to hear the backtracking once it draws another record crowd and 1 mil+ buys.Comment
