Massive ratings for boxing in Argentina

[croz]

Naming the two biggest stars in boxing over the last 20 years in Mayweather and Pac isn't really making you're point. Of course they sell out, they are the biggest stars.

You could say the same for Wlad and Vitali in Germany. Martinez in Argentina. Also I said Canelo so that makes three big names that sell stadiums in the US. The biggest stars sell stadiums. The Klits are the biggest stars in Europe, Martinez is the biggest star in Argentina, Haye is the biggest star in the UK, Mayweather and Pac are the biggest stars in the US.

You have to look at it over all, and boxing in the U.S has definitely declined when it comes to the avg show. I think someone tweeted that there was MAYBE 2,000 people to watch the Mathysse vs Peterson fight.

I mean that's a MAJOR fight in terms of what the boxing fan wants to see. Yet the place seemed empty.

It was hardly a MAJOR fight. And again it has to do with the promoters and the location they choose to stage these things. Lamont Sold out an 18k arena in Washington against Khan. They could have staged it there but no they wanted Casino money. Likewise, Donaire vs Rigo should have been staged in Miami.

You say that boxing fans are 85% white, well I don't know where you get that stat from #1 and if you actually go to a boxing event where a Mexican is fighting, the place is full of Mexicans....lol

The latest study on boxing's demos is here. It covers 16 million avid boxing fans in the US. I mispoke though, it wasn't 85%. Of the 16 million avid boxing fans covered in the study 4 million are Hispanic, 3 million black, 250k Asian with the rest being white. All in all 8-9 million of avid fans are white.

This study does not cover the over all fan base which is 50 million, only the avid fan base of 16 million.

I don't know about that, Pac drew 50 000 fans twice when he fought Clottey and Margarito. If the big stars fought in stadiums more often in the U.S. you would see things like that on a regular basis.

That fight was in Dallas Texas, half of those in attendance were Mexican. there's A LOT of Mexican Pac fans in Texas.

I'm sure there were of lot of mexican americans in attendance, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it was 50%. Pac is a crossover star, freaking Miley Cyrus tweeted to complain about the Pac/Bradley robbery. If she's watching Pac then that means mainstream white america is watching Pac.

If you hols a boxing match in Texas, California, Arizona...my guess is there will be a **** load of Mexicans there.

hahah

Latinos have been and are the #1 ppv buyers, that's written history over and over.

[dudeiknow]

yeah even Floyd has said mexicans are number 1 boxing fans, and there is a reason why floyd only fights on mexican holidays

But, but, but....Dana White said boxing is dying bro!

There aren't that many "boxing fans" in the US.

There are fans of fighters but that doesn't mean that they will watch another fight not involving their fave.
