Arum narrows list of Pac-Man foes - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports
Wow! those are good attendance numbers for a good fighter, but for an elite fighter and three more world title holders those are pretty lousy numbers. Perhaps the promoters made a mistake by picking Thanksgiving weekend? The UFC is drawing crowds near or over 10,000 for larger events.
Could it be that a World Title Belt means less and less and the P4P list now has more value? Are the casual fans disregarding the alphabet soup belts and paying more attention to the P4P list? Is this what is happening to boxing. It appears that the only fans showing up at the live gate are boxing fans. After seeing those numbers I don't think Arum has a choice for Pacquiao. I think Mosley gets the nod.
