Put this at the Home Depot center. All the Latinos are gonna show up and Vic's gonna bring in his local fans.

Well Mares is Mexican, but also Perez is from Colombia. I'd imagine a crowd will come in for him as well. Although I really don't know how many Colombians there are in the area, not many I think.

It'll likely be too cold to hold at the outdoor Home Depot Center. I'm sure Staples Center and Nokia Theater are the first choices. Otherwise if they go non-AEG there's the Honda Center in Anaheim, the Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario and other venues.

They should all bring in plenty of fans though. Lots of Armenians, particularly in the Glendale/Hollywood area, tons of Mexicans throughout all of SoCal, a good amount of Colombians as well, and a fair bit of African immigrants close to Downtown LA who may root for Agbeko. Not sure how many Ghanians there are though specifically.

At Vasquez-Marquez IV, there was an entire section (like 20 rows I think) of Colombians rooting for him. It's funny cuz by the end they were already writing him off "no sivires ni para cafe yhonny!" haha, that's why I was surprised by the draw.

Anywho, I don't understand why showtime is backing out here, they went down to mexico to see valero fight some bum, why not this *****in' 118 lbs tourney? Its true tho, the fight will make more $$$ down here, hope they dont use the staples center tho, theres a curse on Mexicans/Chicanos who headline the card (oscar, vargas,tony,ortiz,arreola,mora,morales,barrera), they always lose. Home Depot Center should do fine, for the guy that said it'd be cold, this is l.a. man, as long as it stays above 50 degrees, were fine.

It makes more sense to be in L.A.

With the Latino community there and the Armenian community that is there.

That is the perfect place to hold this double header.

Citizens Bank is AEG and one of the spots they are looking at
