    Looks simple enough to me. Not sure how to simplify or reword this.

    Considering there is not an American in the main event, that is pretty good numbers.

    Any sellout is good for the sport, and as fans we should be happy.

    You are being elusive. You replied twice already. You could have just answered the question and wasted less energy. You are not making your point.

    using your reasoning there's no way to prove anything, there's never a sellout, if its announce a sellout and you see the stadium full then is a sellout, do you want to go into the stadium and count the people one by one to be a beliver

    :hat

    That is a very good point, and something that most of this guys dont know is that they intended on haveing more seats open. After the first wave of tickets sell were really slow and they actaully downsized the seats by closing off areas that were going to be open, then they lowered the ticket prices. My buddy that is actaully having a family reunion that weekend in the Dallas area bought 12 tickets the first week, but has since sold those back to the agent and gome 12 more at about a 20% discount. This fight isnt doing as well as they hoped, but Arum will spin, and spin, and then be very snake like when its time for the numbers to come out..

    How is it not doing well when nearly 40k seats are sold...for a boxing event in North America between two non-Americans with one of them who is not even known outside of the hardcore fans?

    You people need to find a different sport to support, maybe Mayweather can invent his own version of dodge ball.

    Ticketmaster hasn't changed their prices, but the independent agents have slashed their prices back down to earth. I think a good majority of tickets will be sold under face by those brokers who were looking to profit and the smarter people who live around the area will make the fight in on some pretty cheap tickets.

    No surprise, everytime I see your name its something negative about Pac :lol:

    Keep on hating mate, Pac sold 25k tickets on the opening weekened. Your boy Floyd failed to sell that much in 6months on a fight being held on mexican independance day against the best mexican fighter out there :deal

    Seems very arbitary. It held 100k+ for the NBA all star game.

    Understand one thing every big fight is padded! It is all about the Pay for view. Floyd and Mosely there will be give aways.
