Your first link is a prediction you tard, it actually did 14k.Errol Spence’s fight against a no-name like Carlos Ocampo drew in a sold out crowd of 15,000 in Texas according to Keith Idec of boxingscene
Mikey Garcia has had about three fights in Texas, and none of them drew a crowd of 15k. Here’s a list of all three of them:
1. Garcia vs Lopez. Dallas, TX. 5,605 fans
2. Garcia vs Martinez. Corpus-Cristi, TX. 5,124 fans
3. Garcia vs Lipinets. San Antonio. TX. 7,800 fans http://fightnights.com/2018/05/18/40...-cow-in-boxing
Now onto California. Errol Spence had a crowd of 16k in attendance for his fight against Shawn Porter at the Staples Center in LA.
Mikey Garcia fought in the same venue against Robert Easter and only 12k people showed up. According to sources, half of the people there got FREE tickets.
So the narrative that Mikey sold the PPV against Errol because of “the mexican fans” has officially crumbled. Errol Spence is a draw, and a bigger draw than Mikey.

I don’t think this is a surprise. Spence’s fight in Dallas was his homecoming and Spence-Porter was a way bigger fight than Garcia-Easter.Comment

I don't see why anyone would complain about any boxer being successful. When boxers are successful boxing is successful. We then get co events and preliminary bouts that make lesser known fighters money while showcasing their talent off of bigger stars. Then again there are promoter groupies now too and thats just as annoying.Comment

Lol @ “weekend” Sorry kid, but the weekend isn’t the holiday. If Floyd Mayweather fought on December 28th, did he fight on Christmas? No. He fought on December 28th.
Cinco De Mayo = May 5th
Mexican Independence Day = Sep 16th
Mayweather has fought on a Mexican holiday only twice. Once because he was forced by Oscar De La Hoya, and once voluntarily against Miguel Cotto who isn’t even mexican.
Floyd Mayweather is more popular than any mexican boxer in history so bringing him up doesn’t help you out.Comment

Lol he’s saying that Mayweather fought on weekends not the actual days of May 5th and September 16th. Another epic failure. I could use that same logic to say Mayweather fought on Yom Kippur (Sept. 14th) weekend for his ***ish fans or Patriot Day (Sept. 11th) weekend and Constitution day (Sept. 17th) weekend for his American fans. Or how about May Day (May 1st) weekend for his white European/North American fans?
Despite this, it still doesn’t change the fact that Errol Spence sold more tickets than Mikey Garcia in TEXAS and CALIFORNIAComment

Doe, any Saturday that is on or close to a Mexican holiday will always be assumed to be about attracting such ethnic fanbase.
You're fooling yourself if you say this isn't so just because it doesn't fall exactly on the holiday.
Big boxing events will always be on Saturdays in America, period.
Come on, doe, stop lying to yourself.Comment

How does that make any sense? Mexicans celebrate Cinco De Mayo on May 5th, not May 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Mexicans celebrate mexican Independence Day on September 16th, not 12th, 13th, 14th or 19th. So how are you attracting mexicans to buy your PPV if they aren’t even celebrating the holiday? Gtfo. That’s like saying Spence was trying to bring in the Irish fans because he fought a day before St. Patrick’s Day. Logic isn’t adding up.
It still doesn’t address the fact that Errol has sold more tickets than Mikey In Texas and California. Crushing the myth that Mikey and his mexicans were the reason why the PPV was successfulComment

Wow
What a bullchit thread
Sorry bud but this just don’t cut it , makes no fughin sense
Like someone said earlier and I’m guessing he’s right ; you are just pinning two against each other to state your fughin racism
Quite sad when I think that most fughin threads these days are about how much a boxer makes , or sells tix , or the platform he’s on
Mods should delete this bullchit
Most of us are here to discuss boxing not ticket selling or color or platformComment
