Bob Arum: 22,000 People Watched Margarito Defeat Garcia Live

Boxing is popular in Mexico. Who woulda thunk?

 

margaritos popularity > may feathers popularity

 

The joy boys and *******s are scared shitless. Soon they will be double teaming us:yep

 

And margario fought a guy who wasnt well known!! :bbb

 

hmm says . . .

gotta love the mexican fan base . . . they know how to support boxing . . .

 

So what? Manny did 51K in his last fight what does that prove? Also another source over at the scene has it at over 17K

 

How much was the ticket prices? Something tells me a ringside seat wasn't costing $1250. Let's put it into perspective.

 

Why? A different style of performance against a C level opponents fools no-one. Margo still has gaps in his defense that both Mayweather and Pacquiao could exploit with ease, he's still slow and he still can't hold a torch to either in terms of technical skill.

If he employs his old style and tries to pressure Mayweather, he gets picked apart by a guy with vastly superior and quicker footwork, vastly superior timing and technical skills and far greater handspeed. Same with Pacquiao.

If he employs his new style and tries to box Pacquiao, he gets completely out-boxed by a guy with superior technical skills, defence, timing, hand-speed and punch accuracy. Same with Mayweather.

These two guys are head and shoulders above the rest of boxing. I don't believe anybody in or around their weight-class can beat them accept for each other.

 

you guys are ****ing idiots....bigger stadium= bigger live attendance geniuses. As if you half wits are even debating Margarito being a bigger draw. fools

 

How much were the tickets and what was the total gate

I doubt the gate total was anywhere near Mayweathers. For all we know Arum could of given away a buch of those tickets

 

:yep
