    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.

    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

    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
