lol at PR homecoming, 4.5k tickets still unsold

Did you see Danny's Spanish interview? That was terrible.....

What's the capacity? that's kind of relevant.

Danny should have worn PR shorts v Matthysse.

Danny always wears animal themed trunks. He might change up now since he's started the "I'm a real Rican" campaign.

I had a suspision that he wouldn't be totally embraced. Its like when Marquez fought "Baby Bull" Juan Diaz. Marquez made sure to point out that he is 100% Mexican while Diaz is a Mexican-American. During the fight the crowd was solidly behind Marquez.

If Garcia speaks spanish, he started taking it seriously only recently, probably the moment he signed for this fight. He will most likely be viewed as too americanized. As long he avoids opponents that would test PR loyalties, he should do okay. JuanMa, Cotto, and a couple other stars are out of his weight range.

Beating Mexicans like Morales, and nonPRs like Matthysse will keep him in the good graces of the PR fanbase . Just avoid head to head fights with other native PR stars.

They don't talk about him in local news. They do talk a lot about Verdejo.

That's very telling. It's always good to have someone "on the ground" give solid views. Maybe if they spoke more about Garcia on the local news, tickets would've been sold out by now.

Not bad at all. Bunch of ******s in here.

He specifically said all the non-GA seats are sold and those are the expensive ones that generate 90-95% of the gate. The GA seats are probably $5 and will be largely bought by walk up on the day of the fight.

I went to both fight cards and I can guarantee you that neither Broner-Maidana or JCC Jr - Vera sold out the non-GA seating at the Alamodome which is set up for a similar capacity for boxing events.

I have no idea what happened with those fights. Many of the seats closer to the ring are handed out to friends and family of those involved in the card, even celebrities. The others are bought by fight freaks, or those with deep pockets. The cheaper tickets are the ones that tell the tale, and the people buying them aren't necessarily waiting for the day of the fight. Think about it, if they're practically giving away tickets, why wouldn't people go? It's because there's relative lack of interest.

This is true.. Kid is special. I'm not saying Shawn porter, Marcos maidana,Danny Garcia special I'm saying flex Trinidad, de la Hoya, Shane Mosley special

That is a big, big statement. I don't agree at this point. Felix looks good, no doubt, but special like "superstar special"? Only time can tell. I've seen a lot of prospects look spectacular against soft opposition. The moment they step up, they look ordinary.

Bro, I just watched the vid. Is there a word worse than terrible? lol

God, I'm still laughing! I think Danny would've been better off speaking in English and excusing himself by saying that he grew up in the States. Some people would've accepted that. That display was embarrassing. I'm sure people on the island aren't amused.

I know it is. I personally have really high hopes for Felix. Just have a feeling that he has that "it" factor. I guess time will tell but he has the right mind set and all tho we all like to hate on top rank from time to time there the right promotion to be behind the kid. There the machine that'll help make him into a superstar. We shall see

He's not Puerto Rican. He's American. My German ancestor came here in the early 1600's. Am I German? No, I'm American.

If you are born and raised in America, you are American. I'm tired of this Mexican/Puerto Rican thing. If you think you are Mexican/Puerto Rican, then get the **** out of America.

[-Kev-]

Capacity is 12,000, so he sold 7,500? that's not too bad.

7,500 tickets vs a no name is not bad at all. People just want to hate and say ****** things. So Garcia-Herrera didn't sell out, big deal, but Garcia-Matthysse II, Garcia-Khan II, Garcia-Peterson, etc. I'm sure all 12k would sell.

Puerto Rico is part of America
