40,000 people in attendance doesn't mean canelo has the power.

U honestly think floyd could sell 40 thousand??? His fight with Mosley wasent even a sell out and would love to see how many seats he sold against cotto. He MGM only holds about 18 thousand.. Regardless good for the sport that ginger can bring out the fans and bring out the big events like he did sat

Put Floyd to fight anybody of the street in Atlanta with 13 dollar tickets n he could fill up the Georgia dome get real man.

I was at the fight. I think Canelo's selling power works both ways. People that diss it are going way overboard and people who act like he's a special draw point black, period are also going way overboard.

They sold 40,000 and probably couldve had more if they wanted to. However, there were a ton of very cheap tix and also at the same time, they all werent cheap.

We have to aknowledge that he is Mexican and boxing is just a way bigger sport in Mexico than in the US. Thats going to give him a huge head start over alot of fighters in the 1st place. The fight was in San Antonio which has a huge huge huge Mexican population. The fight was also during Fiesta which means a trillion Mexicans will be in the area at the time anyways so why not go see Canelo fight?

All of those are big factors. Its not like he just went anywhere and sold 40,000. Its like because Devon Alexander does great draws in St. Louis or Peterson does great draws in DC doesnt make them huge draws. At the same time with that being said, 40,000 is 40,000 and like I said, Im sure it couldve been even more. I mean, you can give free tix away and hardly anyone can do 40,000 g's and he's not the only Mexican fighter.

All in all it was a great event for the most part. I felt some racism going on in the area but its to be expected and nothing went down so it was just a great fun night

Looks like the haters and black people hating on Canelo success keep hating Lil sssshhhhiiiitttts Canelo will prove his worth once he does a ppv. I want to see yalls face when Canelo pulls more ppv then may.

Everybody all hyped up that canelo has as much drawing power as Floyd....y'all do realize that only reason he sold that many tickets is cuz tickets were 13 dam dollars??????? He'll that's only reason I went lol. I bet he can't do near that as much in Vegas or somewhere else were they weren't giving away tickets all over the state like they were free food stamps for the needy......regardless what y'all wana think Floyd still holds the ppv drawing power so canelo need to slow his role and not demand ****. Y'all act like he sold out cowboys stadium at normal ppv ticket prices.

I know right... most of those mofos that went thought they were going to pick up a welfare check too right??? that ginger a star??? pffft

40k is good, don't really know how well he draws though. Pac and Manny's cheapest seats are like 250 bucks, Canelo's was 10.
I would've went just to go

The first time I heard of date I thought Oscar was a genius for doing it fiesta weekend which equals a lot of numbers for canelo

Some of the posts in this thread suggest you could take any mexican boxer and put him in san antonio and 40k fans are coming. That is straight up bull****.

Peterson and Devon do not draw crowds in thier home towns and alot of factors are true but Canelo is going to be big if he keeps wining anybody saying he is not is fooling himself or a hater
