**** man, I'd imagine you'd get a better view at home with your radio.

ha!...........

[Sweet Pea 50]

Catchweight fights does not count.

That's right, fight was at 145.

What a couple of cherry picking, catch weight bums.

I thought the largest audience for a boxing match was 300,000 in the Philippines.

Before they became Pactarts, they followed Luisito Espinosa and he was able to draw 300,000 fans to come out and watch.

this is impressive

[Pigeons]

dempsey - carpentier was stateside and had a massive gate. impossible to know how many people were there, but the estimates are close to 100K



against tunney there were 120K spectators.





dempsey often defended his title in front of 75-100K people.

Couldn't have been that often, he had 5 defenses.

[SN!PER]

If Roy Jones had stayed undefeated, moved to SMW for a few years and then challenged Mayweather at MW after he defeated De La Hoya in 2007, they would've beat a lot of records with that event.

I think he fought Cobrita Soto on that event.
