It's mentioned in some news article right after the fight... I guess it was announced during the coverage of the fight by the HBO crew... It's also mentioned in this article: This content is protected
buxzer you need to edit this thread title if it's going to keep getting bumped. I don't see how "Mayweather-Marquez ticket sales" could be possibly "still a problem"
This guy Buxzer is one of the funniest cats I've seen on a boxing forum. For weeks he says that the fight will bomb the fight does good at the gate but more importantly PPV and he still crying and won;t admit defeat to restore some credibility.
Expected you to show up immediately desperate try to give yourself credit after countless ******ed posts. Ticket sales means nothing. Mayweather/Baldomir did MORE PPV buys than the sold out Pacquiao/Morales fight and Mayweather/Baldomir wasn't sold out. It's all about PPV numbers, that's the main focus. Of course, I wouldn't expect a dumbass like yourself to know that.

:yep Hmm, Baldomir-Morales, now there's an interesting fight. Especially given Erik's strategic weight gain in recent years... :think
The damn things over and he still tryin' to make it fail! I tell you right now, the weigh in alone was one hell of an event, much less all else that followed.
Thanks Bro... done... Props to Mexican fans and supporters of JMM... They're the majority who bought tickets... During the actual fight, it seems Floyd has no fans at the arena... The live audience burst into loud cheers everytime JMM connected and no cheers heard when the bigger guy Floyd score a punch...:-D .
BUXZER, why the **** do you care how many ppv's or whatever the **** your talking about, mayweather/marquez sold? would if make you feel any better if their ppv sales were lackluster so that you can say pacquiao is the biggest ppv star on the planet? get a damn life you little pendejo!
