I don't hear much clamoring for Lucian Butes home fights.

[Check]

Not sure any better why to show how bute is more known....he out does Ward in every viewer category against weaker opposition

Floyd draws 16K because that's the max of the MGM

Bute maxes out his places with 20K+ and ward gets 4K when his venues can hold double or triple that

I still can't agree with the attendance and viewership. Yeah, to casual fans Bute is more popular in his areas but the people that actually follow boxing, I think majority would consider Ward the better of the two(certainly more accomplished).

I know it isn't a perfect comparison but when Mayweather was a budding young fighter, he fought Augustus in Michigan, and fought infront of around 5000 people(I know because I was there). Bute is from Montreal, a city that has always loved Boxing. From the fight between Duran/Leonard to now, Montreal always has been a fight town. And lets face facts, majority of cities in America, boxing has been alienated and even a hometown gold medalist isn't going to bring it back.
