          jcc vs haugen, they talked about it during the pacman/clottey fight. I remember being blown away, I had always thought it was the thrilla in manilla and ended up being wrong about that too. I think ali/spinks drew more as well.

          I really need to brush up on littel stuff like that, wonder if we'll ever see those type of numbers in a venue again. The klits get pretty damn close everytime out.

            Good post, unfortunately I don't think we'll see those numbers again as the big fights happen in countries which charge very high prices. If Pac fought in the Philippines and charged $1 a ticket he could draw hundreds of thousands (if there were a large enough arena.)
