27,000 Tickets Sold For Pacquiao Vs Margarito

27K seems like a **** number this close to the fight.

 

Floyd can't sell out MGM (17,000 capacity) against Marquez and Mosley.

 

Who cares how many tickets were sold. This fight is bound to make a bunch of money regardless. All that matters at the end of the day is the bottom line. The bottom line will allow Arum, Pacquiao, and Margarito to pull in a truckload of money off this fight. The real money is off the T.V money anyway.

 

Lets try this one again:

Ticket Prices for Mayweather-Mosley

$1250, $1000, $600, $300, $150

Ticket Prices for Pacquiao-Margarito
$700, $500, $300, $200, $100, $50

Mayweather's tickets cost 3X as much as Pacquiao tickets.

Also, according to these articles that claim to take numbers directly from the Tax documents and not the Cowboys Stadium ownership, Pacquiao's paid attendance was 36K, Mayweather's was 14K. Also Mayweather Pulled in nearly twice as much from live attendance as opposed to Pacquiao-Clottey.

Not much of a joke, Mayweather stays in LV because the casinos give away those tix. Dimbulb pro wrestling fanatics who think Floyd really KOed The Big Show with those brass knuckles must buy those PPVs.

 

Love that someone actually brings "proof" to the discussion .

 

It is much higher since the OP orginally posted as of Nov 2 (today) take into account 11/01/2010 or the "First" is a pay day for many, so most tickets were definately sold. This fight will do well, its a huge place....the cheaper seats will sell, up to "day of" fight. The first 27,000 were probably hardcore fans, that really really want to see this fight, want good seats and willing to pay......The rest Casual fans, will be hanging out on Saturday night going "hey what do you want to do?" Then go watch the fight.....

It will sell well.........Dallas has a huge, huge Mexican fan base, hell the whole Metroplex does....and the pinoy following, lets not also forget those that are going to drive from other parts in Texas to watch it.....


It will fare well.

 

how so? pinoys will watch any pacquiao fight because it's pac. meanwhile you joyboys will tend to follow floyd on his tweeter accounts and even his racist videos and say that he is not really ducking pac when he went on vacation. that's what more than blind, it's stupidity being played by your idol.

 

Very wrong assumption. More haters buy Floyd fights and more haters go on his tweeter and everything else more so than his fans. Ask Freddy Wak and Benjamin Linus.

 

the sales will pick up as it gets closer to fight time. People tried claiming Mayweather-Mosley wasn't selling so hot and it picked up in about the same amount of time. Yes, less seats to fill, but I can't see how Manny can fight someone with a fan base and not outsell seats from the Clottey fight.

 

Did you answer your own question already?

 

ok let me rephrase it coz you did not get it. pinoys will watch him because they know what pac brings to them not only because he is pinoy but he brings excitement to his every fight. it's not as blindly as you joyboys follow floyd on every event or misdemeanor he commits.

 

Being that Pacquiao is pretty much all the pinoys have he's a symbol of pride and inspiration. Youre over here talking about "blind devotion" and being a hypocrite on the subject.

 

This "Pac's all they have" talk is pretty tired.

Not everybody adores him like he's some king.

Lots of people are annoyed by his out of boxing antics and decisions.

Many people bet against him.

Many people make fun of him here.

He's just an ultra popular athlete. The country does not revolve around him. Not even close.

Of course, if you see a Filipino or a Fil-Am, and you say "Filipino? Pacquiao!" I know they'll probably smile and it'll be a nice ice breaker.

But it's the same as meeting someone from Green Bay, Wisconsin, and saying, "Green Bay eh? GO Packers! Favre is an *******, right?"

 

This, EVERY fighter has blind fans. These emmanuel fans always try to do this holier than you ****, like emmanuel is free from the uglier things in the sport.

Yes, emmanuel FIGHTS FOR MONEY. Yes, emmanuel has been selective about who he fights ever since fame. Yes, emmanuel does not want to fight Paul Williams. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER FIGHTER!
