What is the largest crowd ever recorded for a boxing match, indoors or outdoors.

[porkypara]

Julio Cesar Chavez supposedly had 136,274 fans show up in a fight in Mexico against a guy named Haugen.

Yes I remember that.

THe fight was shown on itv on a sunday afternoon.

Haugen said somthing like Mexicans did not have enough money to pay for that many seats.Did not go down well.

Well theres a bit of contreversy as far as having actual records of the attendace.
TheRookieFan: 136,274
Daxx: 134,000+

JCC vs. Haugen is marked as 132,247 but some stories say less others say more a lot more.
Dempsey vs. Tunney I, is marked as 120,557 but again stories have it that about 150,000 were there.

If you go by whats written then it's JCC vs. Greg.

[Majesty]

how much for Jack Johnson vs Jim Jeffires?

Chavez had the biggest outdoor crowd, as mentioned above.

He also was part of the 2nd biggest indoor crowd ever, against Whitaker at the Alamodome.

Once crowds start getting that big Mick...You know the exaggerations start flying out....I just did a search on yahoo and found like four or five different attendance rates....I found 132,000+, 134,000+....124,000+ and 156,000+ ....

I think we will all just have to agree it was the largest and it was a bucket load for sure

yep have definitely seen an official record that JCC v Haugen has the record - was it Aztec Stadium ?

Also where was Ali v Spinks II held anyway to get 63,000 indoor ?? - anyone know ?

Completely agree Daxx that's why I told bambamdaddio it depends on how you look at it.

[Mark TKO]

cheers mate - either way its cheating when these stadiums have roofs on them and they class it as 'indoor'

...Thought the never been there line kind of summed it up but OK....

[bambamdaddio]

I suppose we are now living in the days of the largest indoor and outdoor crowds being from the same venue..slide roof permitting, say 7.30 pm largest outdoor crowd then rainfall and at 9.00pm same venue it becomes the largest indoor crowd lol
