    every big fights, we always get threads like this.

    "there's still a lot of tickets left".

    then come fight night, its a full house.

      People are waiting for last minute prices. I am Mexican and we are cheap as hell. We want everything for free or close to it. Now stfu and stop trying to stain this fight dude. Ridiculous.

        There doesn't seem to be much interest compared to last time. I know they're hyping it and it might have a bit more ****e, but it doesn't have the same appeal as last time.

        Last time, a lot of casuals were interested. Even people i know that barely watch boxing were talking about it, but i think the robbery left a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouths and drove them away.

          GGG needs a miracle to win. Canelo will be given every close round just like last time.

            Yep.

            A friend of mine that watched with me last year isn't bothering this time, he's a casual but he just says "what's the point?" referring to the corruption in favour of Canelo.

            That is probably reflected in the general lack of interest this time around.

              A robbery can often generate more interest for a rematch. It's not that. It's that people expected fireworks for the first one and it was anything but that. The reason every fighter says they're gunning to KO their opponent is that it sells fights. I think the fans fully expect both guys to fight smart and respect each other's power in the rematch, and that doesn't sell very well.

                Far less buzz this time. Obviously the bad decision didn't help but that happens in Boxing. I think the failed drug tests hurt the fights appeal and the first fight wasn't as good as fans were anticipating.

                I just want it out the way. I have very minimal interest in the fight.

                  Honestly I'm glad because it looks like the casuals were disappointed by robbery the last year, plus the fight wasn't as exciting as it would be 3 years ago.

                    Not every fight is Mayweather Manny...

                    I'd bet Porter/Danny seats are still avail for a fight in s few days..
