Who's to blame for the low turnout to Ward-Barrera?

[Real King Kong]

Don't worry about that for ''HBO's World Championship Boxing''

There are 2 Million ***s in NYC, and 800,000 Puerto Ricans

Yankee Stadium can fulfil 30K seats.

Yuri Foreman (the ''***ish Champion'') vs Miguel Cotto - the PR King. They only sold 20K.

So the pop quiz, how many ***ish to PR fans came?

How many Ward to Barrera fans came?

If yuri foreman would have faced a grossly overmatched ***********...it would have sold out.

[Ray*]

He has had like what 4 fights in 5 years? Even before that they were trying to build him up in Oakland.

When did 8500-10,500 become bad #s


Seems pretty decent to me

[Finito2K]

For the record, 8,000 isn't bad. But you'd think Ward would have some kind of following at home. At least to fill in 2/3 of such a large venue.

You looked at their capacity for their NBA setup. For boxing it's much smaller, especially if they have a stage and a large media section.

Venues have set changes and seating changes for the particular event.

People forget that the StubHub center in L.A. is a soccer stadium but it's configured to seat around 5K for boxing events.

roc nation, like PBC, don't really seem to have much of a "ground game" in the same way that old hands like top rank and GBP do. they just put up the money for events and then don't seem to actually do any promotion

You beat me to it! It's easy to point the finger at Ward. But his job is to fight not promote.

StubHub is actually 2 sporting venues. The soccer stadium which seats 35,000 and the tennis stadium which seats 8,000 and is used for boxing.

Against a no-name nobody there had ever heard of prior to the fight ? Those 8,000 people are die hard fans who would have show up even just to see Ward lap dance for 15 mins...
