    Yes there is still poverty and cruel slavery throughout Africa but disassociating yourself from it appears as either elitism and/or a desperate desire for acceptance, which leaves our less privileged brethren without a voice that a vast number respect and look up to.

    Does this phenomena actually compare to the rampant
    Pathology of Jewish Anti-Semitism via elitist Jews? I petitioned Vivic Wallace about his earlier concerning his slick Afroamericans article where It seems that Vivic, Bernard Hopkins, Murrad Muhammad, Richardson etc... dismiss slickness in all but AfroAMERICAN boxers

    You're making my case. I'm tired of the *******s and *****s arguing over who is the bigger draw. Historically speaking, when it comes to drawing power, Pac and Floyd are 3rd raters.

    103 000 ? Very doubtful.

    Even for a decisive soccer game (world cup qualification), that would be too much.

    It was very different when people couldn't otherwise watch the fights on TV though. While Kotey-Lopez drew over 100k, there wasn't even a member of the US media there, much less TV cameras! People didn't know that Lopez even won until he got off the plane with the belt two days later.

    I must say 103,000 was impressive. I'm sure Floyd vs Pacman can draw just as much if not more fighting in open arena anywhere in the world.

    They make more money in a smaller venue, for the most part. Jerry Jones has helped subsidize Pac's last two fights, but they were still charging decent money even for the cheap seats. If they were selling tickets at $10 a pop, they could easily sell out Cowboys Stadium, but for $75, most people would rather dish out $55 to watch it from the comfort of their own home where they can actually see the fight better. The CHEAPEST seats for Mayweather-Marquez were $200 each, for instance.

    All that said, of course neither of them is as popular in the US as was Dempsey or Ali, and to make a claim like that would be just stupid.

    It's difficult to honestly compare the two eras because so much has changed.

    I don't remember the details but Lopez/Chacon broke some attendance records in the LA area. One could always ask, "How many PPV buys would Lopez/Chacon sell?" Or, "How many PPV buys would Ali/Frazier sell?" My guess is WAY more than Pac or PBF will ever sell.

    Because there isnt a stadium big enough.

    The biggest boxing stadium there I think is the same stadium thrilla in manila was held, which holds about 30k...?

    Crime drops to 0, rebels are on ceasefire, mass attendance drops...the guy would easily fill in a 10mil stadium.

    If 90mil..literally stop what their doing to watch their fight, you can be sure he would easily sell out any stadium there.

    From the sounds of it, I dont think there has ever been any star bigger than Pac in their own homeland.
