I'm confused, maybe someone could help me better understand...just to equal what ODLH/PBF did at the MGM Grand, the would have to sell another 63,600 tickets at $190 per ticket, in Dallas, TX... and that's just to match that number? Which is 3x as many tickets sold (at $100 more per ticket) as Manny drew in Dallas the first time.

Now that being said that doesn't begin to address this "30 million" they stand to gain by having it somewhere else. To reach that number those same 63,600 tickets would have to average of $661.00 per ticket. To even try and make the case that you are going to sell 100,000 tickets at $480 per ticket, in this economy, in Dallas, TX is ridiculous, and is as flawed a business model as one could construct. That is the same 3x as many tickets only at approx $400 more dollars per ticket. To attempt to justify moving this fight would be based on idiotic logic and unprecedented levels of economic irresponsibility.

ODLH/Mayweather (MGM Grand Garden Arena): The highest (gate grossing fight), Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr on May 5, 2007 grossed $18,419,200.00

Manny/Clottey (Cowboys Stadium): The fight was rewarded with a paid crowd of 36,371 and a gate of $6,359,985 (can be found on Manny's Wiki page).

 

He didn't call Pacquiao's bluff.

Pacquiao told him to his face on the phone it had to be 50-50, and released an OFFICIAL statement on his site January 12 stating it had to be 50-50.

Just another excuse to duck. Arum and Floyd, one and the same

 

Not in this thread, but...

yeah and they are now on damage-control mode and are pointing to numbers way back from 2007 when all that matters more is that pac is more of a bigger draw than floyd is now. pacquiao just outsold floyd in 2011. he should be the one getting the bigger cut. they settled on this before back in late 2009 and now floyd wants the bigger share?

 

I can see why he asked for it dumbass, but I don't agree with it. This thread isn't about Khan, so ****off

 

Bob Arum has gone on record many times over the past couple years stating that a Mayweather/Pacquiao fight couldn't take place at Cowboys Stadium because it wouldn't make enough money. This is because a casino in Vegas, like the MGM, would pony up so much more money due to the profits they would get from "bringing in the high rollers from Asia" (Arum), and the revenue brought in from all the foot traffic from the commoners, who in this case would be wealthy due to ticket prices/limited availability.

So, yeah, that argument is amongst the worst I've ever seen in boxing negotiating.

Besides, among my other questions: 1) where is your source for the extra money an outdoor stadium would generate? and 2) do you think the same caliber of attendees, who would likely be a lot of VIP's, celebrities, and the top percentile are going to buy tickets to an outdoor venue of stadium bleachers?

 

What makes everybody think that an outdoor arena is gonna net 20-30 mil extra are people gonna pay that much money to sit in those accomodations and not to speak of the incident that happened in Indy. 20-30 MIL extra isn't promised

 

Exactly. Pac's stance changed once the May 5-Late May/MGM Grand-Stadium conflict came up and Floyd was unwilling to comprimise. Pac is not going to sacrifice tens of millions and then let Floyd, the guy who would be costing him that extra money because he got himself sentenced to jail and won't budge from May 5, take some of his purse aswell.

 

But he also OFFICIALLY said from his own mouth, not a website, one month ago that he would take less of the pie.

It's obvious both sides do and say things which they know will make the fight not happen. This has been the story for the past 2+ years. I'm stunned every ****** on ESB can't figure this out...

 

:yep well I don't speak for everybody

 

I didn't say that.

 

Everyone knows this ought to be a 50/50 purse between them.

Even the titsucking *****s here in the forum admit it.

If Mayweather badly wants this fight, he will concede to that.

He should realize also that Pacquaio is not Marquez, Ortiz or Mosley whom he can just put in a schedule he wants without formal notice and tell him to have a smaller pie of the purse. Pacquaio can fight Bradley, Marquez or Cotto for all we care and still will earn hellacious amount of dollars. He is a bonafide superstar in his own right, and a media darling for that, and now Mayweather treats him like he is Ortiz. A 50/50 purse is the only deal for them.

In the end, it is still money for Moneyweather. Well, what do we expect?

 

The bleachers seating will be ridiculous in price for this one....construction for this kind of outdoor event will be cost effective with little overhead adding to the profits....but the floor and ringside seats will sell for stupid amounts of money. Since their will be more realestate....their will be room for more of those high dollar seats for those who want to be apart of sports history.

$60 mill Is a stretch but $30 mill isn't....that's a lot of money that would be left on the table which doesn't make business sense as business is all about growth and maximizing profits.

 

who is the official ***** spokesperson in ESB bb?
