No way. Even with all the mexican support it wont be able to sell 40,000 tickets.

Peterson has no name and marquez isnt that popular IMO

[PAC-BOY]

Warr jmm!!!:a:

[Russian Crushin]

Only if it had Jcc jr vs Sergio and donaire on the undercard with Pac singing in the pre fight show

[American Dream]

why is Arum talking JMM/Peterson anyway..I thought he signed a one fight deal with just the Pac fight..is he trying to lure JMM in again..or was it more than a one fight deal he signed?!

anyways.. would see it, but i dont know about 40,000!

Marquez is popular but I'm not sure about selling 40 thousand tickets all by himself. His popularity is at an all time high now. Marquez vs pac was the most watched fight in Mexican history I believe and that wasn't all down to pac.

He is now a popular fighter but we ill see just how popular when the tickets go on sale.

[heat27]

yes it could

if you give away 35,000 tickets lol

[nycsmooth]

don't know what No1 is saying JMM not popular, shows qhat he knnows...he can out draw anyone but maybe JR & I'd go to Dallas to see this 1 w/JMM winning...

[Mayweather41-0]

I could see 40,000 tickets sold with the majority of them being in the price range of $25-35.

[maguirre]

Yeah. JMM, with all his skill and experience don't usually draw flies on his own. He has to beg for a Pac fight to make millions and regain some sense of popularity.

I'm a casual fan and I'll pay for this fight. But I don't think real boxing fans will pay for his fights unless his opponent is Pac or the duck.
