    In just a week and flew entries are only some popular. If you fill Velez on April 27, the collection will be around $ 26 million and will record for Argentine sports.

    Besides carrying the monarch middleweight belt WBC, Sergio Gabriel Martinez established himself as a true champion of all weights. In a week of sale, the page is just a few clicks Tuentrada.com hanging the poster of "Sold out". Are some popular and is close to filling the little more than 40,000 locations that were made available for the evening in Velez.

    While there are no official figures, several sources close to the organization made clear that when completed the capacity enabled the April 27 bout against England's Martin Murray will reach a new record for fundraising for a sporting event in our country . Up here, the better the harvest had a Superclasico at the Monumental, in November 1995, which crossed two megaídolos as Enzo Francescoli and Diego Maradona. That afternoon, nearly 77,000 people left $ 1,907,650 at the box office, was the time of one to one.

    Proceeds Liniers Stadium will be around 26 million pesos, more than five million dollars in exchange official. So Martinez exceed six figures green for the second straight since their Sept. 15 fight in Las Vegas, before Junior Chavez, left a ticket revenue over three sticks. And mingle with the show that got our country more in 2012: the Madonna in River (35 million pesos).

    The fort will be available just over 40.000. 12,000 were enabled popular (for football there are 29,000 places), 20,000 stalls and were attached around 8,000 seats on the court, with the most expensive prices. Precisely those who came to 5,000 pesos, were the first to sell out the same day that went on sale (Sunday 3). It took only 24 hours and had already surpassed the height of the 10,000 tickets sold, crazy although there was a limitation to acquire a maximum of four per person. And yesterday, early in the morning, it was impossible to buy any of the 12 options. In the afternoon, to prevent heart attacks, enable web shopping again but only in one location: popular.

    The presentation of Quilmes attract as many spectators who gathered earlier this year, in the town of San Martin Mendoza, the clash between Mark and Jessica Local Tigresa Acuña. Of course, in that fight the ring sides traded popular 30 pesos and half. The record for most people in a fight in this land keeps the bully remembered where Justo Suarez took the national title in July Mocoroa light in 1930. Unofficially estimated that, this time, in the old stadium of River there were more than 50,000 souls.

    Good for Martinez.

    He deserves it.



    He is a great ambassador for the sport of boxing, and im glad he is getting the recognition that rarely comes with the territory.

    If HBO is down with it, I think Martinez should fight in his den in Argentina for his remaining fights.

    Im happy for him, but its too bad his popularity is peaking just as his career is coming to as close. I see his success ending soon.... hes slowing down and is getting old, and fights in a manner that relies on his athletic ability. His time is swiftly on its way.

    Hope Im wrong and he has a great boxing farewell.

    Martinez deserves to be filthy rich. He can make his money any way he wishes IMO. I don't care who he fights, but he deserves to get paid.

    He could continue to fight as a National Hero in his native Argentina, for a successful career and make good money doing it.
