This is why JCC JR calls the shots.

Until Sergio Martinez can sell out an elementary school cafeteria, he has no business calling out the El Dinero de Vaca.

His fight with Macklin at MSG is almost sold out. Only cause irish boxing fans though martinez does not really have a concentrated fan base just boxing fans are fans of him.

in mexico being the key phrase. I wish those numbers were the same in the u.s.

And there are Millions of mexicans living in the States, "Millions" being the keyword...

That's why boxing will always be in a very healthy state no matter what mma fanboys and dana white try to believe will all their hearts.

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.)

Viva Mexico!!

Boxing is very popular in Mexico, specially in Mexico City. The country has a lot of talent, unfortunately most kids can't afford to go to the gyms because its very expensive.

This is from Kevin Iole's Twitter regarding the HBO numbers :

Kevin Iole
The @filipinoflash fight on Saturday did 1.5 milllion viewers. Went up to 1.88 million when @jcchavezjr1 fought. Outdid Luck on @hboboxing

It's highest since beginning of 2010, but I didn't go beyond that to look

Sergio Martinez has some followers besides some Argentineans. I am one of them because I support all Latinos with the exceotion of the ultradefensive, cowsrd ones ( mostly Ricans ).Of course I prefer Chavez but he should fight SM and the latter deserves the fight.
