Those 15,000 extra fans for the clottey fight were prob just football fans going because its was a fight in a there fav teams stadium

idk what do you guys think?

IMO...not everybody has forgiven Margarito. Or like in my case, I couldn't afford to travel to Dallas again after going to Pac-Clottey.

Probably because the majority of the first crowd probably had never seen a boxing match before, and were there because it was in cowboy stadium.

After seeing the garbage undercard and clottey fighting like a *****, they probably didn't want to come back.

I noticed the clottey fight was mostly white, but this fight was mostly filipino and mexican.

Plus half the people that follow boxing probably hate margarito and boycotted the fight. I would have if Pacquiao wasn't our boy.

Everyone knew Pac was going to win, and is a legit welterweight.

Back with Clottey fighting in Texas was a novelty and there were questions whether the Cotto victory was a product of Manny's talent or Cotto's lack of perseverance.

Even the Pochos knew Pac was going to win.

The Pacquiao-Clottey fight actually only drew 41,843. So it's about the same. Top Rank was trying to bullshit the boxing world but they forgot about one thing: boxing regulators.

I think most mexicans/people felt like marg let them down and didnt think he deserved the shot to begin with

**El Fenomeno** · 11-15-2010, 08:45 PM

The novelty of having a fight in that stadium...

**ThunderWolf** · 11-15-2010, 08:46 PM

Skysports1 showed it live and mexicans were still recovering financially from the recent Rafael loss.

Joshua Clottey is boxing's true cash cow
