Mayweather calls Pacquaio out a the most convenient times.

wasted your money on all them tickets except wlad/peter card ...

 

Gonna call the MGM Grand the home of most of the greatest/biggest fights in recent years a dog house?

Why would Marquez and Pacquiao fight in a dog house?

He also fought Hatton, DLH, Mosley, Cotto, Morales 1, Marquez 1 in that same "dog house".

That barn on the other hand has held 2 fights EVER!!!!! Both Pacquiao fights.

Vegas and the MGM is the place the big fights happen..... not Dallas and Cowboys stadium sorry.

How much bigger would Lewis vs Tyson have been if it was in Vegas instead of Memphis?

**** if your gonna argue about a venue at least argue for places known for big fights. Like MSG or Staples Center.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I'm confused, maybe you could help me better understand...I know Math isn't necessarily your strong point but just to equal what ODLH/PBF did at the MGM Grand, the would have to sell another 63,600 tickets at $190 per ticket, in Dallas, TX...and in your opinion that's feasible, and that's just to match that number? Now that being said that doesn't begin to address this "30 million" they stand to gain by having it somewhere else. To reach that number those same 63,600 tickets would have to average of $661.00 per ticket. To even try and make the case that you are going to sell 100,000 tickets at $480 per ticket, in this economy, in Dallas, TX is ridiculous, and is as flawed a business model as one could construct.

ODLH/Mayweather (MGM Grand Garden Arena): The highest (grossing fight), Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr on May 5, 2007 grossed $18,419,200.00

Manny/Clottey (Cowboys Stadium): The fight was rewarded with a paid crowd of 36,371 and a gate of $6,359,985

I mean it's there for anyone to see, there's nowhere outside of possibly MSG (which I haven't researched) that is going to generate the revenue/gate numbers that the MGM Grand will.

Great go to a fight to watch it on a big tv screen. Now thats money well spent.

 

Yet it's Manny and Bob that are coming up with excuses like they are getting paid for it and ducking Floyd.

 

PBF = I want an Olympic test, ain't gonna happen
PBF = I want a $100 million payday, ain't gonna happen
PBF = I want PAC to fight in my terms must be on May 5, ain't gonna happen
PBF ESB puppets = PBF is a God, why not?

Now you see the light?

MSG can hold more but I doubt they could demand the same prices they would in Vegas.

 

You're wrong but Dallas stadium just came around and it is now the biggest house in the planet, PBF and PAC will fill that stadium easily. MGM does not even come close. If PAC CLOTTEY did over 50,000 (3rd largest) they may even add another 25,000 seats outside the arena if possible See history below:

Ali-Spinks II 63,350 Louisiana Superdome
Whitaker-
Chavez 59,995 Alamodome
Pacquiao-
Clottey 50,994 Cowboys Stadium

 

So Mayweather should fight on Pacquiao and Arum's terms?

And what are "his" term for the may 5th fight besides the date and arena which shouldn't be a problem?

P.S they agreed on the OSDT and the money so what is your point?

 

There isn't a bad seat in the MGM you can see the ring and the fighters clearly in the last row!!!!!

I was way up top for Hopkins vs Taylor and watching it ive then on TV after I didn't miss a thing while I was watching it from my "shitty" seats.

 

Hmmm no. It's not even the biggest in the NFL let alone the world.

ANd Clottey fight having 50,000 has been heavily questioned ever since the fight and I highly doubt Clottey drew more then 10k more then Margarito.

P.S- Those stats are just the USA. Just from memory the biggest crowd at a boxing match was 100k plus for Chavez/ Hagen......... 132k actually.

Klitschko are getting high number too they might have pasted some of those above.

And like I said the MGM is a way better place to have the fight its a fight arena, Cowboys stadium is a football arena. More people doesn't always equal better.
