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

[Horus]

Plain and Simple Margarito is not a draw.
Never was, Never Will Be.

Manny Pacquiao while popular, does not attract overwhelming paying audience.

So Much for Mexicans supporting their fighters.
Like they did for Margarito's past fights.

I have been saying for years, Margarito is not a draw.
Now after 5 years, I have been vindicated.

Pacquiao is can only do so much.

let me know when floyd puts 50k against a ghanain with zero fanbase & 40k against a disgraced cheater.


thanks in advance horus & bernardo/dios dominacno (ts).


floyd couldnt even draw 5k in his own freaking hometown.

[jrosales13]

what hapeened jrosales?i thougt margarito was a big draw?i been tellin you that no one outside of vegas or cali gives a **** about margo

WTF?

They did 40k... And, you still don't know what the PPV buys did....

And, you do not how much the scandal made people buy or turn off the fight.

Anyways, like I have said and always said Marg was still a bigger draw than Baldomir ever was. Pac could of fought Baldo and it wouldn't have done 40k.

[oc9979]

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

compare the money in the attendance from Pacquiao's fights vs Mayweather's fights

[War Dinamita]

Reasons:

Margaritos cheating
Top Rank did a poor job advertising, fight only started getting hyped properly like a week before the fight.
None speak English coherently and have an xfactor personality wise

Bull****.

What happened to Margahcheato being the biggest Mexican draw in the sport? JMM and Canelo would've done better than this **** against Manny.

Poor job? The fight was talked about all over the media, internet, etc. They also had a boring 24/7 on HBO. Please stop making excuses why the fight did not sell that well.

What happened to Arum saying they sold 77K tickets for the fight? Damn, another lie by Arum.

44K is a flop considering people on here said Margacheato was the biggest Mexican draw, Manny is the biggest draw in the sport, promotion was all over the place for this fight, and Arum said they sold 77K tickets for the fight.

Shows The Mexicans have more class than people give them credit for, alot of them didn't want to support Margaresto obviously.

good job....I was wrong about them

[oc9979]

This is the true story. Pls try to remember them bro.

floyd's camp ask for 14 days.
Pac's camp said OK after the clottey fight.
Floyd's camp said 7 days, in spite of him being tested 19 days before the Moslye fight.
Pac's camp said ok to 7 days.
Afterwhich, we NEVER heard from floyd anymore. He went into an indefinite vacation after declaring there was no negotiation.
Pls try to remember them as it happened bro, it will do you a lot good.

Now. can we get on to something more intelligent so we can both contribute something productive to the sport of boxing?

I dont recall Floyd's camp asking for any amount of days

i had 10 people the week of the fight ask me who was pac fighting.why would those people not know who manny was fightin?maybe because manny was fightin someone that no one outsisde of texas vegas and cali know.the day after the fight i heard 3 people say that they didn't know there was a fight how can that be if margo is such a big name and such a big draw?

[carts]

41k ++++ is disapointing????? SMH!
