    The harder it is to get hold of something, the more rare it becomes thus increasing in value.

    They will be out of their depth and still smash every money related record in boxing history.

    I'm not saying that TMT Promotions is inept or incapable but surely you have to agree that the ticket situation could have been handled better. The Super Bowl deals with the same situation but how many times have they released tickets a week or two before the game?

    Yes, they did co-promote 2 of the biggest fights, but just like research papers, just because your name is on the paper it doesn't mean your contribution is the same and more importantly it doesn't mean you're capable of running your own research project.

    People say it's because of the law of supply and demand, which is true, but it makes TMT look like greedy SOB's which is something you wouldn't want the public to see you as. It's bad enough the blue collar boxing fan (the people who actually keeps the sport alive) can't afford to watch the fight live but now they're milking the 1% for every dime they can. If I didn't know any better, I'd say TMT is forsaking their image and trying to make as much money as possible because they're trying to cash out.

    Ellerbe got his airbrushed moustache ass fired last time because he couldnt put together the show properly and his incompetence has shown once again.

    But but... the floyd fan boys on this site thinks it's still ok and TMT is doing a great job with this. A bunch of sheeps.

    I'm guessing breach of contract here soon. Top Rank takes over as primary and takes the lion's share of the money.

    Showtime amd HBO know real business. Mayweather Promotions does not. I guarantee you that there are plenty of performance clauses in that contract that Elerbe and Mayweather do not understan.

    TMT, has been apart of the two top grossing fights ever. Money wise. If you all are about education only. Both Haymon and Ellerbe are Harvard grads in business.
