[AllBoxingAD]

Completely false.

unless ur from quebec nobody in canada cares about any sport other than hockey. berto and lopez fought in ontario, NOBODY gave a fk, i live in ontario, the only people who were talking about the fight were people on this forum

You are right there are not many real boxing fans in southern Ontario. They do a very poor job of promoting it over here. I know a few of my friends are fans, but other than that people are amazed to hear that the light heavyweight champion of the world is from and fights in quebec.

[TheRoger]

it amazes me too, because there is money to be made. Toronto is the biggest bandwagon city in the world. The raptors are number one now that theyre good, but a couple years ago the scalpers were basically giving the tickets away at union station. When GSP was around ufc was HUUUUGE! Now no one cares or knows anything about it.

You are right, I shouldnt speak for the rest of Canada because Quebec is completely different... in just about everything (except high taxes).

Quebec has a love affair with its fighters, trust me. Gatti was practically God in Montreal.

[BigZigga]

What's funny is ill look up restaurants in ontario ca all the time. I mean California but it directs me to Canada

[P.Esco]

That was Ontario, California

LOOOOOL, i fked up baad. that might explain why i heard nothing about the fight here....
i have no idea why but i didnt even think that was a possibility, i thought it was happening here

Hey guys - aurora Ontario here. The gauze regulations allow only 10 yards in Ontario where fighters in other jurisdicitons routinely use 40 or more yards. The guys don't want to fight here because of potential hand damage. I did catch bahoeli vs carman for the crappy Canadian hvywt championship (what a barn burner) those guys didn't seem to mind, but I guess once you're fighting for money instead of peanuts the game changes.

Ya , absolutely ridiculous that they couldn't work around that issue here. Tornto likes to sabotage everything.

hahah thats crazy man, small world we live in.

but damn now i see why there arent big money fights in toronto, who the **** wants to fight with 1/4 of the gauze you normally do???

that basically crushed my dreams of a canadian fighter having super fights in the rogers centre, gsp did it and the gate was 15 mill!

Ya never happening bro. I went to, what I think was, the last big boxing event in ontario about 14 years ago at casino rama. It had acelino freitas and Harry Simon on the card and was televised by showtime. Don't think we've had names like that since.

lol, why the hell would Berto-Lopez be in Canada.

honest mistake i guess
