Here is a quick google search. Are you saying you do not believe there were at least 60-70,000 attendees?

U.S. National Park police, who are in charge of the Mall and related public spaces, used to estimate crowd sizes, but when their assessment of attendance at the Million Man March differed from that of march organizers, the organizers threatened to sue. So park police stopped putting out crowd estimates, which now seem to be left to the probably less expert D.C. fire department. Don’t we all feel better informed now? source

approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave, according to the Washington DC Fire Department. source
btw - tens of thousands was the number given several times during the day by FNC. (though I did hear later about the ABC/organizer misquote dust up)
