    Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated just tweeted it:

    That should be one heck of a gate.

    What this means, of course, is that they exceeded the "sellout" of 45,000 with the opening up of the "Party Pass" (standing room only) sections. Good decision.

    Great 51K people get that undercard seared into their memories. Damn you Arum.

    Definitely. PPV will be down, I think, with Mosley/PBF on horizon.

    Also, Mannix just got a tweet from the Las Vegas Sun that there are supposedly 450 credentialed media at the Stadium, too. Huge.

    Been a sh*t undercard, no doubt. Reminds me of some Don King stinkers. :(

    Fans having fun, though. Probably drunk off their asses. Doing the wave, etc.

    They should've put a much better undercard for that many eyes on boxing. Undercard stinks

    This DJ, the guy doing the between-rounds music, I think I recognize him. He's not so good, if it's who I think it is.

    you are telling me that cheap ******* Arum decided not to at least hire a good DJ? What else can this ****er **** up at, I mean we get this instead of Mayweather-Pacquiao, we get a shitty undercard that wouldn't be a card at a charity event for blind children. and now that ******* couldn't spare a few thousand dollars more and hire a great DJ.

    I think he's an Arum regular. Heard this guy before, I'm sure of it. He SUCKS. Seriously, I just tweeted Top Rank that they MUST fire this guy. He's brutal.

    Can't wait for this hot mess to hit the news stream tomorrow. MMA fanboys everywhere will point to this mess and claim that boxing sucks.

    I think the two Pryor-Arguello fights were bigger
