    this fight selling out quick is VERY misleading

    again only several Thousand tickets were available to the public .. and for an arena that only seats 16,000 just imagine how fast a fight would sell out if say only 2 or 3,000 seats were available to the public

    **I did read on here though that 500 to the public was exact #'s but who knows.

    and besides Arum and especially DLH are well aware of the negative criticisms this fight are getting (freak show match up, Money event, no real purpose/significance)

    so wouldn't it be especially wise for them to put a limit on tickets (see**) to assure a sell out and make this fight seem more desired then it really is?

    hell in an ESPN article Arum + Richard Schaefer used the fast sellout as a reason this fight (DLH/Pac) is so great

    "just a reflection of the overwhelming interest in this mega-event"

    "The matchup is one of the best in boxing "

    "shows the magnitude and appeal of this event" "No one wants to miss this one"

    BARF

    "With Golden Boy, Top Rank and the MGM taking large chunks of tickets before the public sale, only a few thousand tickets were available. "

    There are only few thousands available at public. Most are already booked by rich people and suck ups of both fighters(friends,politics,businessmans)

    Mostly i believe theyre saying that the farthest and 2nd farthest seats are the one who got sold out for only a few hours. All those ring side seats and the 2nd of it are already booked even before the ticket comes out. You cant deny the rich people anyway.
