I know it isn't a perfect comparison but when Mayweather was a budding young fighter, he fought Augustus in Michigan, and fought infront of around 5000 people(I know because I was there). Bute is from Montreal, a city that has always loved Boxing. From the fight between Duran/Leonard to now, Montreal always has been a fight town. And lets face facts, majority of cities in America, boxing has been alienated and even a hometown gold medalist isn't going to bring it back.
