That is a **** load of fans watching boxing.

I think the amount of Mexican's that watched a womens fight recently went to over 30 million. There was a thread on Boxing Scene about it.

...I wish other nations were as passionate about boxing as the Latin nations are.

Another testament to why boxing will always be on top. If you have popular Mexican fighters, the mexican crowd, and the mexican crowd will watch. Right now Canelo and chavez jr and Marquez are doing big numbers

Yea I can't believe 30 million Mexicans watched a girls boxing match. In a nation of about 100 million people.

And now 19 million for this fight?

We can all sleep at night, boxing is going nowhere.

That talk is just ignorant and there are numbers that can just straight prove that wrong. This fight card was a beast in TV Ratings from Mexico, Philippines, and did pretty well on HBO (America.)
