I am Mexican, and I disowned him. Mexicans have always had alot of great fighters with heart, Margocheato showed that he he has none of it. No thanks and not interested!!!!
i meant people....17k aint that bad considering floyd couldn't even sit a quarter of that in his hometown
IIRC his comeback fight had an attendance of 20,000, which is very good. I guess the low ppv figures could be attributed to an easy comeback fight not being all that appealing for ppv, we'll see hoe he does if he gets a major fight again.
im mexican and never liked margarito to begin with and still dont. Dont see anyway that will ever change.
Let him fight for a title and you'll see true numbers. Most fight fans have two ways of judging a fight. 1) Dowloading/Youtube worthy or 2) PPV worthy. Margarito's last fight was definately a youtube moment.
YEy i still back him. Robert Garcia wasnt a well known fighter, believe me if he fights a name fighter the PPV numbers will be good again.
Im sure he has dual citenzenship he was born in Torrance,Ca raised in Tijuana and lives in West Covina,Ca.
I'm not hispanic but I do still support Tony Margarito. I have since I met him in Ft Worth Tx where he fought & beat Buck Jones a few years ago. I'll continue to support him till someone shows me proof he ever loaded or tried to load his gloves. No one has yet , minute traces of sulpher & calcium on a wafer thin pad does not constitute loaded gloves in my book. Give him back his licence and put the so called superstars in the ring with him if they have the cojones
The English don't abandon their people ever though I am 100% sure they aren't made of garbage to support a proven cheater in any sport or profession, let alone a brutal deadly one.
His PPV numbers shouldn't be shocking, he made $32k fighting unranked Manuel Gomez on a card that also included another fraud by the name of Chavez Jr.
