    First day sales for the November 12 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have nearly sold out. Yahoo! Sports boxing columnist Kevin Iole tweeted earlier that just a few seats remain at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after the first day of sales:

    Only 2,000 tickets left for the Pacquiao-Marquez fight after first day of sales.

    Pacquiao and Marquez have a deep history, with controversial fights in 2004 and 2008, and obviously the feeling that in 2011 it's a physical mismatch aren't hurting the live gate. Pacquiao is of course an enormous star, and matching him once again with one of Mexico's best was a guaranteed sale, even if a majority are skeptical of the fight being competitive.
    For those interested in attending, you probably better act fast, and here's the ticket information once again:
    Promoted by Top Rank, in association with MP Promotions and MGM Grand, tickets to Pacquiao-Marquez III, priced at $1,200, $900, $600, $400, and $200, go on sale this Friday, July 22, at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT. Ticket sales at $1,200, $900, $600 and $400 are limited to 10 per person and ticket sales at $200 are limited to two (2) per person. To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Ticketmaster (800) 745-3000. Tickets also will be available for purchase at

    Pac fights are always quickly sold out, mosley fight was sold out in a few hours.
    I think next year after pac vs floyd, he should fight bradley but do it in the philpines, I think he could pull a huge crowd to watch, it would be a great event.

    I also hope Pac's farewell will be in the Philippines. It'd be a spectacular event. God only knows what size of crowd he could draw there.

    :admin

    All I care about is that he bows out on top like Lennox Lewis did, and doesn't end up like Roy Jones or Evander Holyfield. That stuff breaks your heart.

    I got mine at 10.01 yesterday PT...6.01pm UK time

    Block 19. Row J. Seat 11...$1200

    As per usual only the corner sections where put up for sale on the lower level. I don't know about the rest. but i went back on 1 hour later & the seats available for $1200 where already up to row X.

    The scalpers proberbly have about 12,000 of the tickets, maybe 2,000 put up for sale max & the rest will be kept for comps by the MGM/Top Rank.

    Those ****in **** pigs at Virgin Airlines ramped up the flights from the UK by $350 yesterday. ****S:fire:fire:fire

    So what. Are you making any money? How does the fact that his tickets are nearly sold out affects you.

    I think Pac will go out with a bang and not with a whimper. I think millions will be at the area where they will hold Pac's farewell fight IF they hold it in the Philippines.

    I wish I was willing to waste more money... but no way.
