    For anyone who hasnt paid attention the last 10 years, Steve Kim and Doug Fisher absolutely hate Mayweather b/c as they were centered in LA they covered Margo damn near exclusively.

    The Mayweather vs Mosley tickets have been sluggish due to Ticketmater and independent ticket broker's uncontrollable greed and price gouging.

    The price range for the tickets sold by Ticketmaster were $150, $300, $600, $800, and $1,200. Before the tickets went on sale, Ticketmaster sold a large percentage of the affordable tickets ($150-$300) to corrupt independent ticket brokers who then turn around and inflate the price of the ticket over one hundred percent. This leaves the consumer with the option to purchase a ticket for $600 and up. Real boxing fans cant afford these astronomical rates in this rough economy.

    That is an absolute ****-take. $150 for the cheapest nose-bleeds where you have to watch the whole thing on the screen or with binoculars is too much anyway. The greed of some people knows no bounds.

    Absolutely. This is my only real issue with the fight. I believe the next fightg with Pacquiao will be even worse.

    The root cause of this overpriced tickets is the overpaid boxer who claimed to get $60 million from this fight.
