    Idk that thats bad. Granted he didn't do as well as Joshua vs a no-name or a few other guys, but its still good cuz most cats wouldn't even think to have a fight vs a no-name guy in a big ass venue.

For a guy who is supposed to be one of the top draws in boxing and coming off a big PPV.

      Thats because Canelo and joshua are major stars with countries behind them that travel in huge numbers to see them fight. So thats youre number 1 problem right there youre lumping GGG in with joshua and canelo in drawing power and in reality hes levels below them.

        Those 14K were probably majority UK fans supporting khan. Stop piggybacking those numbers like crawford pulled them in by himself lmao

              You're a fool if you think that Joshua-Ruiz was a legit sellout, lol

                Right. The top two stars in boxing are always actually Superstars. They will generate a much higher level of interest and $ over the next guy even if the actual difference in skill is razor thin. Much of it comes from what nationality a fighter is. Nothing is truly relative. 90k fans in Wembley doesn’t generate a gate anything near 15k for a big fight in Vegas. CM Punk made $500k for his mma debut. But that’s prize fighting I guess. I guess I just wanted to sort of back u up by saying it’s easy to find the huge gaps in $, especially when there’s little separating two people in the ring.

                    It was just a stay busy fight and everybody knew who the winner would be. Were you expecting a sellout FFS. I know you hate GGG but is this really worth starting a thread over? When Canelo gives him a rematch it will be a sellout unless Canelo refuses to fight him until he turns 40.

                      Boxingscene, where we celebrate our sport dying smh. Always celebrating whenever low attendance or low ppv numbers come out. You guys are the dumbest most childlike people I've ever witnessed.
