    ... Pacquiao-Cotto tickets almost sold out with still 2 months to go...;)

    :happy

    Arum said the Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto “Fire Power” showdown at the MGM Grand on November 14 was doing “unbelievably well” and showed us the sales report stating that “of the 15, 887 saleable tickets with everything being sold, except 642 at the top price and 80 at the second price. Everything else is completely gone. And they are selling about 60 tickets a day so in ten days there won’t be a ticket left and then everybody will go crazy.”

    The 682 tickets are priced at $1,000 and the 80 at $750 even as Arum revealed “there is nothing at $500, nothing at $300 and nothing at $150. Nothing.” The income on ticket sales to date is $8.2 million in at the box office with another $700,000 to go.”

    meanwhile at the PBF-JMM weigh in, the announcers were still saying there are plenty of good seats left.

    I think I can get a 150 dollar ticket for half off from the scalpers...easily. there will be less than 10,000 for this fight tomorrow.

    Wait at the doors, they might even let people in for free just to fill the seats and avoid embarassment on international TV...

    A "superfight" with so many vacant seats?? Embarassing....

    absolutely nothing like the Pac-Hatton fight.

    Did you see the merchandise?? I was impressed with the shirts. I wouldn't buy one though at risk for looking like a douche.

    why buy jewelry when you can have a shirt with a gold chain and cubic zirconians stiched in..:rofl:rofl

    Floyd can't sell tickets to save his life...i believe the real reason for the original date change was because tickets weren't selling. The delay gave them a chance to sell more tickets. Imagine how bad ticket sales would've been if there were no postponment?

    Blame it on loudmouth Floyd, he has no fanbase because of his bull**** antics...

    That theater in Grand Rapids which sold only 62 out of 500 something seats, isn't it Floyd's family from Grand Rapids??:lol: Don't tell me those 62 tickets sold are all from Floyd's relatives...:rofl

    It should have been real real bad... Worst than JMM drinking his pee...:lol:

    GBP, Floyd can't stomach the very low ticket sales if the fight pushed through last July...

    Side news: Closed Circuit only worth 50$ now. Tickets are still widely available even on the front seats(you can still order on max of 4).

    I usually base most of my predictions on FNR4 so if my repeated attempts to defeat Pacquaio on the hardest setting are anything to go by, Cotto's going to get KTFO.

    No need to thank me for my input.
