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

40K bums on seats is a hell of a lot of bums on seats, however you want to try and skew it to your agenda.

What is the largest crowd, not revenue, from a show that Floyd or Manny has done?

Pac vs Clotty did 50,994 in attendance. Floyds big fights have all been in vegas so the max capacity is probably around 14,000.

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.

Reported for race baiting.

I watched the fight with 4 black guys, and none of them was going for Trout.
If you learn boxing, you wont need race figuires.

Pac-Marg had 40K people and a gate of $5.4 mil. Thats an average of $135 a ticket. Thats less then 2X of this fight.

Pac-Clottey had 36,400 people and had a gate of $6.36 mil, thats and average of $159 a ticket, almost exactly 2X of this fight.

So Pac's tickets werent at least $250 each, in fact that average price of those tickets werent anywhere near that.

The fact that Canelo does half of what pac did there is huge

Was talking about when they fought in Vegas and the seats in the back are like 250.
Don't know what the cheapest seat in Cowboys stadium was, probably like 50 bucks for a nosebleed

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

Me, Chief, his wife and Slim Thug were the only black people in the luxury suite we had, and all was good. Slim Thug even put $100 on Canelo winning versus one of my buddies from the gym that's Mexican.

The only time, where I saw some tensions is when someone outside the Alamodome(I was by myself after the fight with those huge crowds of mostly Hispanics downtown) asked who I was going for. I could tell he was praying that I said Trout so he could try to start shyt, although he was drunk as hell and it was obvious. I just told him the truth and he was excited. I swear, people amaze me with the thought that just because I'm black, that I have to go for the black person.

I've never been like that ever in boxing, and it amazes me that people are. Hell, I don't even go for a fighter because he's from the states and the other isn't. I actually have to like how you fight for me to go for you, not nationality or race, that's insane. I actually put real money on DLH to beat Floyd, and boy was I pissed at the end. Haha. My boy who I was betting with was Mexican and everyone else besides 3 others were going for Floyd, all Mexican also.

[bigsmoothh]

In the end lets give props where props are dude, Mayweather and Pacquiao are still the current money makers in the sport.....

They are the draws, they have the power.

Canelo is just 22 and has to start somewhere I think he's doin great, manny and Floyd had to do it as we'll to get their out there.....

Exactly I understand that, dude is the 3rd if not 4th biggest draw and might be number 1 some day.

No doubt about it.

[djtmal]

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.

24 hr. watch at all the chicken shacks...

[littlemac]

He shined alright, you should of heard the roars throughout every single round. It didn't matter what he did, he got cheers throughout the night. When he dropped Trout, some people got up so fast to cheer, I thought they strained their backs. I didn't see no one upset after the fight, everyone was happy when leaving the Alamodome, so what you have to say is false. Come again...

What can I say, Canelo is well promoted, but for someone who doesn't buy into hype, I saw a fighter coast in the championship rounds to play it safe against a guy that couldn't hurt him. Rigo showed more bravado in the championship rounds against a bigger guy that was the division's and P4P's best ko puncher all while leading in the score cards. Morales switched south just to clown Pac in the last round while being ahead in the fight with a power puncher like Pac. Canelo, the Mexican Bada$$, decides to play it safe while being the bigger puncher against a guy that couldn't hurt him.

The sad fact.... when you know you're up.... why not?
Thank you open scoring

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Yes the majority were that cheap hell even the most expensive ones were only no more then 300 as to we're in Vegas the cheapest ones for a fight like this wouldn't be no cheaper then 350

No, the majority of them were not that cheap...hahahahaha

Troll fail.
