Top Rank Sells Out Shakur Stevenson

[Stokely]

Bob Arum said he was going to have the Shakur Stevenson vs. Joet Gonzalez fight take place in a neutral place. Reports say the fight will happen on October 26th in Reno, NV.

Reno, NV is 19.7% mexican and 2.6% Black. That means Mexicans outnumber Black people 10 to 1 in that city. So how is that neutral?

Shakur Stevenson has been sold out by Top Rank, and Bob Arum exposed himself as a guy who panders to mexicans even at the cost of his own fighters.

First of all, Dallas is Errol’s hometown and where the vast majority of his fan base resides. Second of all, the black population in Dallas is huge, Mexicans do not outnumber Black people by a significant margin at all like they do in Reno, NV. Finally, most of the people at the Spence vs. Garcia fight were not mexican, that’s a myth started by mexicans themselves with no sources. Evidence suggest that most of the people there were black:

NOTE: Errol Spence was fighting a mandatory challenger no one was familiar with and was still able to get a higher average viewership and peak than Mikey Garcia who was fighting a unification fight with Robert Easter who at the time was the longest reigning lightweight champion

Proof #2: Errol Spence sells more tickets and has larger crowds at his events

Spence vs. Peterson, January 20th, 2018
On fight night, in front of 12,107, Spence broke Peterson down mentally and physically eventually forcing Peterson's trainer Barry Hunter to stop the fight a second into round 8.

In front of a sellout crowd of 12,604, Spence knocked Ocampo out in round 1 to retain his IBF title.

Garcia vs. Easter, July 28th, 2018
Before a crowd of 12,560, Garcia dropped Easter in round 3 on his way to a unanimous decision win with scores of 116–111, 117–110 and 118–109, to become the unified WBC and IBF lightweight champion.

NOTE: Staples Center has a maximum capacity of 21k, but Mikey could only draw in 12,560 fans. Errol Spence drew in a sellout crowd of 12,604. If Spence fought Ocampo in a larger venue, he would've definitely reached the 13k mark.

Proof #3: Errol Spence has more fans

Evidence of this is their social media following, neither Errol or Mikey do things outside of boxing which would gain them a significant amount of followers from non-boxing fans so their social media following should be an accurate indicator of how large their fan bases are

Instagram Followers:
Errol Spence: 487k
Mikey Garcia: 262k

Twitter Followers:
Errol Spence: 130k
Mikey Garcia: 111k

Proof #4: The name "Errol Spence" is more searched than "Mikey Garcia" according to google trends
