Arum reported and addressed the numbers at the post-fight press conference He stood alone on the dias waiting for someone, anyone, to join him. 
The press was obviously let down when they immediately announced that Margarito was going to the hospital. Then it was matter of waiting for Manny. 
With no fighters readily available (Jones eventually came with stitches), he spoke about the crowd attendance.
 He claimed that these 41,700 were all paying customers….and that the last time they had given out ‘party’ passes galore.

In other words, this was a real and the last was not. He added some commentary about the tough economy for most Texans.
 The odd thing was why they didn’t discount more tickets or give them away. Not for the publicity…but for the concessions. A guy buys a 75 dollars ticket for 50 or less still needs to eat and drink. And drinking is a big part of stadium event revenue.
