    I dont really care if the rest of the world gets it. Manny is P4P #1. I dont care where he is from, what he speaks or cant speak. I just know how exciting and great for boxing this living legend is. Enjoy, he will not be here forever. There will never be another like him, relentless. When he finally does go down it will be on his shield like a true warrior. You cant ask for anything more than that.

    It was not impressive.

    Pac isn't a draw except for his small circle. He doesn't cross-over. He'll only draw fighting a big named Mexican or Hatton.

    Sadly, the big name Mexicans are all retiring, and there's no huge names on the horizon that look close to be cross-over stars.

    Of course not many will mention nor discuss this, but if it's Mayweather involved then this will be one of 20,000 threads with haters dancing butt naked and celebrating.

    Actually it was 1/3 empty.
    About 8000 out of 12000 seats were filled.

    1) Wrong. Race doesn't matter, most of the lower weight guys are not American.
    2) Wrong. Totally irrelevant
    3) 50% Correct. Reality is that many people consider him a nobody.
    4) 100% Correct. This is the key to fill arenas.

    It's pretty ridiculous to try and compare Pac vs. Diaz to obviously mega events. At least people didn't leave before it ended ala' Mayweather vs. Baldomir. NOw that is embarrassing...
