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

[-Kev-]

Well no one believes that drawing 40-60k is having drawing power, especially the way tickets are priced for these supposed sell outs. The real drawing power is what a fighter does on PPV. However, it does show something when a fighter can draw big crowds like that, because not every fighter can do that. The next step for Canelo is what he can do on PPV.

Lowering your hands against a puncher > Lowering hands against a pillow puncher because your tired

Why did Canelo not press Trout in the championship rounds?

You ever been hit in the face with 8-10 oz gloves by a world champion boxer who weighs 154lbs?

Pillow puncher.....hahaha I love the way internet tough guys act as if getting punched in the mouth doesn't hurt or can knock you out. He may not be a big puncher but look at Cotto's face after the fight and tell me if he thought he punched like a pillow.

Why so many haters? This is good for boxing regardless of who it is.

Kev people wanted to see him fight so much that they paid $10 for **** seats, and FULL price for parking or mass transit/cab ride to the arena, just to be in the building when they could have seen it for free at home.

I say that makes Canelo a huge ****ing star in the mexican community.

The real money is on PPV. If he fights Cotto, we'll see what he can do. I'm sure he'll do something around 400-600k. If the PPV surpasses 600k [like 700-900k+], that would show Canelo is the real deal in both terms of selling out arenas and selling PPV. But he needs Cotto to do this, he needs the Mexico vs PR rivalry and he needs some one who has already been watched by millions on PPV [Cotto-Margarito I and II, Pacquiao-Cotto, Mayweather-Cotto]. If it's any one else like Lara, Angulo, Kirkland, Molina, the PPV #'s would be poor, something like 200-300k and that's being generous. It always takes two, and Canelo vs Cotto would be the perfect fight at this stage of their careers and it would sell like crazy.

Front row was 1300 and luxury boxes were 13,000, put Canelo-Cotto in Dallas and it outdraws Pacquiao

I get it you like Canelo cause his Mexican. Guess what am Mexican too, am just not blinded by my nationalism.

Yeah racist garbage, I'm black and I lost it when Canelo knocked Trout down, I don't get how someone doesn't like Canelo.

That's you're only response hu? Well thanks for playing and losing the debate, this one was simple.

I'm Mexican and could care less if Canelo is Mexican or not. I call them like I see them and he is the truth.
