Not bad for two foreign Hispanics. Keep in mind canelo is fighting that day otherwise the ppvs numbers would be very high too. Mayweather is boring and no one would pay a dime outside the US to see him. Once he loses his 0, he will lose fans in the US too. By the way, 100,000 plus fans were in the Chavez-Haugen fight in 1993 in Mexico City.

This is why most Mayweather fans despise Canelo and JCC Jr., they can't stand to see two Mexicans who don't speak a hint of English come here and make millions in sold out crowds. It ruffles their jimmies.

What a joke if 18k in states is considered "record breaking" when there are fighters in europe who can put 20k+ every fight.

Wonder why there isnt more support from fans in USA. They watch it on TV but they dont wanna go watch a fight live. Maybe they dont like to travel

Record breaking for the Thomas&Mack Centre. In the 1920's Jack Dempsey had attendances of over 90,000 for his Carpentier fight, and over 120,000, for a Tunney fight, (I think the other Tunney fight was over 100,000 but not sur),

If the Chavez-Martinez fight were to be held in the open air with more seats, there would be probably 30-40,000, especially if there were cheap seats. Arum has a very nice custom of making the lesser priced seats very cheap, around $20-25. He says he does this to give every fan a chance to see a good fight. For a big pomoter supposed to be all about money, that's a good trait.

No, in his recent fights against good competition he was clobbered plenty, and he didn't even blink. In fact I've never seen him flinch no matter what. Martinez puts more into his punches than others he's faced, I think, so we'll really be able to judge just how good his chin is. My opinion is that he takes far too many punches.

With 15k paid tickets so far, how can they possibly reach 18k paid with only 1690 tickets left? The math isn't working.

He doesn't do it out of the kindness of his heart. It's called price discrimination; gas stations do it, movie theaters do it, and airlines do it. It maximizes producer surplus at the expense of consumer surplus. All about the money.
