“BELIEVE IT OR NOT” BLACK FIGHTERS DON’T DRAW! ,, (by Pedro Fernandez)

That's racist!!!!

[chavez jr]

It's 2011 and people still focus on race?Mike Tyson.Floyd-2 of the highest grossing fighters of all time are African American.fans should focus more on skills instead of race and nationality in my opinion.

How many seats will the Staple Center be setup for Hopkins vs Dawson? Are they making it smaller somehow? Staples Center is too huge of a place not to have a full crowd, otherwise it's going to be embarrassing.

They'll give tickets away.

When Hopkins fought Howard Eastman in 2005, lots of tickest were given away, to make it look like a decent crowd.

[chavez jr]

Floyd barely drew 850,000 PPV buys when he fought Ortiz.
and this was done with the help of PPV Draws-Morales, and Saul "canelo" Alvarez on the undercard.

If Morales and Canelo Alvarez had not fought on the undercar, the Floyd vs Ortiz PPV event would've sold about 500,000 PPV Buys instead.

Do you have a link for that??and if it's true since when was 850k bad?

Not for nothing but last time Bernard fought in LA he was fighting Howard Eastman and drew over 13,000.

The most popular boxers throughout boxing history have been black.

Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Mohammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

My point is.

It's only fair that blacks are not always the biggest draws, there has to be other boxers drawing fans to the sport. Are blacks suppose to do everything? The biggest draw in boxing is black, the second biggest is Pinoy, the third biggest is up to debate maybe Cotto, who's Puerto Rican. Does it have to be Mayweather, Hopkins, Ward, Dawson, Dirrell the biggest draws in boxing?

I am happy that there's different fighters from different nationalities who draw fans to the sport.

Floyd needed Mexicans Morales, and Canelo Alvarez in the underacard when he fought Ortiz to barely make 850K ppv buys.

Floyd could barely draw 200,000 PPV buys by himself, without a big name opponent.

DelaHoya holds the record for more PPV buys than anyone in history.

Julio Cesar Chavez holds the record for selling more seats than any fighter in history.
132,274 saw Chavez KO Greg Haugen.

Ironic how conveniently you left out the two biggest draws of all time De la hoya and Pacquiao

It's only fair that blacks are not always the biggest draws, there has to be other boxers drawing fans to the sport. Are blacks suppose to do everything? The biggest draw in boxing is black, the second biggest is Pinoy,

Again this is patently false. Pacquiao has done more fights that did over a million PPV buys and has more all time total PPV sales than floyd and is 2 years younger.

Someone with a boring ass style that only involves running, pot shotting and clinching will never be the biggest draw PERIOD.

Quit spreading lies cuz your embarrassing yourself and the sport.
