Dallas Morning News: Pac-Marg Attendance Was 'Disappointing'

[vercingetorix3]

If Manny fought Floyd in Asian, I guarantee you every seat would be filled because Floyd is more popular there.

See thats what I didnt get, first time Pac fights out there his opponent holds his arms up all night and stinks the place out. His next fight they decide to have it in the same damn place, like they didnt see this coming.

I knew at least Marg would fight, and alot of mexis would come out to see him, but I guess not. That first fight with clottey really brought down mannys stock

Bob stated that a lot of the attendance from last event was indeed the party passes they had and I guess he didn't want to do them for this fight

still it's amazing that we call 43k people attending a disappointment lol

Right,

we all have to remember that the holidays are around the corner,
Thanksgiving and Christmas

this could of had a big deal with ticket sales, again not many people want this fight to happen

where exactly is Asian?

still more than floyd has ever done in fight attendance!.......

1) i don't think this conversation is about floyd

2) would you rather sell 10 tickets at $50 each or 5 tickets @ $500 each?
there is a reason promoters and commissions measure gate REVENUE.

I think people are finally standing up to arum. If he aint fighting floyd, they aint buying. Also take into account that nobody expected margarito to win and the entire world knows about him cheating. For those suggesting the recession had something to do with it, it is "officially over," but we are not getting into that.

well, it is a measure relative to expectation. they went back to cowboys stadium and opened up more sections than last time. there is no question that manny's fights are an event in the filipino community. this may signal a shift, a message about the content of the fight, or it may signal nothing at all.

the ppv number will be a good indicator. this fight had a 24/7 and they rolled out all the bells and whistles.

some of the biggest fights have happened in november and december.

manny-oscar and floyd-ricky are recent examples.

manny sold well with cotto in november.
