$9M live gate sales is disappointing by Mayweather standards. If you're paying $40M purse per fight to Mayweather, $9M seems a small amount.
I didn't write that article but I agree with it. SOURCE ARTICLE: [url]http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/index.ssf/2011/10/pay-per-view_silence_over_floy.html[/url]
17,000 would put it somewhere in the top 3 highest grossing sales. that would be more than Pac vs DLH. In other words..... This content is protected
Actually there were more tickets sold for Pac Mosley. I wonder if a difference in price factored into that.

I don't see how 9 million is disappointing. Sure it didn't sell out.. but even with Pac selling out he still generates less...
um nope sold out doesn't mean 17,000 sold out could mean 15,000-17,000. only mayweather/oscar did 17,000. pacquiao/cotto, pacquiao/hatton, and pacquiao/mosley did 8 mill and all those fights sold out.
Yeah you're right, depending on how they configured the seating. I think for PAC-JMM, they will configure it for 17,000 seats.
