I think you'll find old timers like Jack Johnson drew some pretty mega crowds, can't remember figures but way way over 60 thousand.
Did any of you guys see the documentary that came out a year or so ago Unforgiveable Blackness ?

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.

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.

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

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