    Without Mexicans boxing in America would be dead......

    True or false?

    Even when no Mexican is fighting a lot of the crowd are Mexicans. America struggles getting crowds in now, if it wasn't for Mexicans the arenas would be empty. Fat yanks may show up on these boards but don't show up to support their fighters.

    I would just say PPV boxing would be non existing! Mexicans contribute to the monetary and popularity aspect of boxing but with or without, it will always exist bro!

      Garcia, a reigning lightweight titleholder, moved up to junior welterweight and put on a masterful performance as he easily outboxed and outfought Adrien Broner to win a unanimous decision before a crowd of 12,084 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.


      "It's always a question mark when you go to a new venue and how you're going to draw," said Brad Jacobs, a Top Rank executive event producer. "Even something that's close to (Crawford's) hometown, where he's been proven."

      Pinnacle Bank Arena gave Top Rank one big answer on Saturday: 12,121.

      It’s been a while since we’ve sold a show in Liverpool as well as this one and I think it shows how big a star Amir still is in British boxing that he has sold 9,000 tickets for his comeback fight,” Hearn told Boxing Scene following Thursday’s presser.

      Brook- Rabchenko didn’t sell out either tickets were dirt cheap and they didn’t even crack 10k.

      Without boxing the uk would just be full of dirty rotten mouth Brits procreating with their relatives.

        Lol, I guess this is somehow supposed to establish some kind of superiority? I totally feel terrible about myself as an American, who happens to be a boxing fan.

          How do you figure that? How many fights have you been to in the US to gauge the crowd?

            Matter of fact I got a video from Broner vs. Granados (a mexican). You want me to post it so you can count the Mexicans in the crowd?

              I've watched 100s if not 1000s of American fights and there's more Mexicans in the crowds than any other group. This is just the truth. No need to try and argue, most people will know this too. The majority of the cash flowing in to boxing in the US is coming from Mexicans. There's a reason Mayweather chose to fight on Mexican holidays against Mexican fighters.

                Wrong.

                Fighters with mainstream appeal draw twice as well or even more than guys with mostly only Mexican fans.

                  No it's not the truth. In LA and Texas yea it's more Mexicans. In the midwest and the east coast it's not. You have no idea what the hell you're talking about

                  This was the Mexican section at the broner fight against Mexican from Chicago which is only 4 1/2 hrs from Cincinnati



                  This is the whole crowd

                    He’s mad because he knows American boxing is superior. Now he’s looking for ways to spin it. They only big name fighter they have is AJ. No1 else is making that type of money. In the last 5 years American Boxing has been the home of all the stars.. Cotto,Pacquiao, Floyd, Canelo, Hopkins,Roy Jones etc... UK will finally grasp the basic concept of dental hygiene before they catch up to American boxing
