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.
GGG vs Rolls draws only 12,357 attendance almost 40% of venue was empty

Nobody knew who Fielding was and Canelo drew over 20K in that same venue. Nobody knows who Ruiz is and Joshua did over 20K in that same venue just last week. they gave away thousands of free tickets and still 40% of that venue was empty. 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.Comment

You're a fool if you think that Joshua-Ruiz was a legit sellout, lolAttendance was terrible. Only a little over 12K in attendance at MSG for GGG according to Fat Boy Dan. Meaning almost 40% of the venue was empty. Canelo and Joshua both sold out out MSG and did 20,112 in attendance. Even Crawford drew 14,091 attendance at MSG.

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.Comment

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.Attendance was terrible.
