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

[Reloaded]

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

It was the biggest media covered hyped fight in history lol ,, non stop media coverage , 24/7 , 60 minutes , Times magzine , the list is endless ,,, Arum as brilliant a snake as he is , needs to learn you cant bull**** to the public and get more than the gulible , people knew this was nothing more than a showcase full of manipulation to win a paper title , Manny is becoming plastic while trying his hardest to manipulate being asked to take OST , he ducking fighting a real fighter by ducking OST .

whats up Earner!

Manny drawing less can be intrpreted many ways. While 43,00 is great, its less than before. From a pure business perspective you want to see growth, not decline. If there is decline it has to be minimal. Of course its hard to read these numbers because we don't know how many tix Bob gave away.

but to me people are seeing a flat line and think of it as something wrong

there are tons of reasons why this didn't fare as well as people wanted but in reality maybe this is the number rather than the 51k we saw in March

things to take into account

1. the newness of it being on such a big stage- people wanted to see what it was like to see a fight in such a place
2. Jones sold it well- Jones sold the crap out of the March fight but wasn't around too much for this one largely because of the Cowboys demise
3. the party passes- could account for up to 8-12k more people in sales
4. Margarito's scandal and whether people thought he or anyone not named Floyd would be competitive with Manny

etc etc etc

In almost all your post you don't fail to inject that "OST" issue. Haven't you realized yet that this is no longer an issue to both fighters?

I read your post and some are really brilliant, but your obsession with that OST issue is degrading your contribution to the forum. Give it up bro.

It is when you want 75 and tell everybody that it will break all records lol ,,,, do you realize Mundine Green done as good that Hatton done as good ,,, people are seeing the plastic surrounding Pacs bouts .

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

There were a lot of mexicans that night though. I was surrounded by them lol.

When I see an official response to the OST issue from Arum then I will agree that its taken care off , Team Pac are habitual liars they have changed their story countless times , whenever the OST issue is brought up they mumble a few words and side step , why ,, when its the very issue that has stopped the fight twice ,,,, why not just come out and say we accept all the drug testing demands ,,,, why continue to try to water it down ? just bloody agree to it and get the fight on .

I am obsessed with OST because I can still smell Manny and Arum being very evasive around it , I dont think it is resolved and I dont think Floyd will accept anything other than 0 cut off , I dont blame him , the more Manny tried to evade and water it down the more Floyd will want it , that only stands to reason .

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?
