    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:

    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" :lol:

    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.

    Attendance at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas was announced at 13,116, but Thursday the numbers from the Nevada State Athletic Commission showed that 12,009 tickets were sold at face value, 895 tickets were comps — or giveaways — and 2,645 went unsold.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of GBP, said after Saturday's bout that the numbers would be released by week's end.

    He also said Mayweather's next bout would be completely up to the former welterweight champion, though Schaefer is pushing for him to meet 147-pound champion

    "This fight might put his average pay-per-view performance to over a million per fight. Who has done that? Nobody? When you are the pay-per-view king you can pick the dates. The date will be there for you, just like it was for Oscar."

    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!:lol:

    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
