    People say Floyd is a bad promoter, but i think he has good qualities of successful promoter. Unfortunately he has some terrible traits as well.

    If you get Floyd telling the whole world that this 22-0 Ko artist is the future, people will pay attention.

      That's an excuse.

      The fact is, as I've said. Crawford is being overrated from a faulty 'eye test', he has not shown up at 147. People in his state just don't see a need to pay for his tickets.

      You know it's bad when Jeff Horn in Brisbane outdraws you in Omaha almost 4-1. LOL

        This is impressive for sure. That is more than Wilder has been drawing.

          Those are very good numbers. I believe his numbers were better than Broner's and Mayweather's when they fought in their hometown debuts.

            Good for Tank. I really like this dude. He always praises Mexicans and respects Canelo. Hope Tank blows up and becomes the 2nd cash cow.... behind Emperor Canelo of course.

              What was his gate compared to Bud's? Thats the real bottom line not just the audience.

              And they should bring back Tank to Baltimore every year if they start fighting him more often. If he's fighting 5 times every 2 years, 2 Baltimore fights seem doable.
              Bingo! Tired of people just using attendance numbers as if the actual gate number isn't more important.

              Impossible to get the real gate figures for the Omaha shows...At least for me. But I'll try to get Tank's gate figures.

              Also interested in getting the Hooker/Ramirez numbers. Crowd looked solid during the main event but a lot of people including Arum complained about the ticket sales. So I want to see what all that was about.

                Honestly, Tank is just a popular fighter on his own. I really don't understand it either but every time he fought at the Barclays even on the UC, he would bring a big crowd with him. No surprise he sold the arena out in his homecoming. He is a potential superstar for sure..........But LIS on Saturday after the fight, the resume' needs to start matching his skill set and drawing power.

                  I didn’t expect that many people. Should have one at the wizards arena. A little far but can fit more people
