    $17,500 dollahs for a Floor seat at the MGM Grand Garden to watch this laughable Circus. I said it before, and I'll say it again. Oscar de la Hoya has FORGOTTEN his roots. Who from his old East LA neighborhood can afford that ****? He was asked about this once, and he made an insulting remark about how his "poor" fans can "Have fight parties and all pitch in"....Personally, I'd LOVE to confront him about this **** with the cameras running. But I'll bet Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta can afford those, oh, wait, they are comped guest$ of the Hotel, never mind!:good

    I doubt you'll see any filipinos in the crowd either.

    This is tragic. As I remember in 2005 going to the MGM to watch Manny Pac take on Eric Morales for the 1st time. It was awesome. Mexico vs. the Phillipines. Of course, this was a REAL fight for REAL fight fans, not a ****ing freak show so Oscar de la Hoya can be a Billionaire. I believe my ticket was in the 120 range, and we had good seats. Julio Jr. was on the undercard, as was Jorge Arce. Mexican and Filipino flags everywhere, like a massive pep rally. Now the only ones on the floor will be "guests" of the Hotel. Like the Boston Celtics, Michael and Catherine Zeta, Cheech Marin, the Undertaker, and Bill Richardson, and of course, about 900 NFL/NBA guys, and the owners, and assorted millionaires. :dead

    I offically hate Oscar now. I hope Paq knocks him out and nobody buys the **** fight, and Golden Douche Promotions goes out of business.

    Relax, you are checking a ticket scalper's(sorry re-seller) website.

    Tickets have not gone on sale yet for the fight and no prices have been announced.

    But, you can probably figure they will be similar to the Mayweather fight which was also at the MGM and were $2,000, $1,500, $1,000, $750, $350 and $150

    The 350's and 150's will be scooped up within minutes. By Thanksgiving the 750's will be a memory. $1,000.00 a seat to watch a fight is an insult to intelligence, and means that Oscar will be wiping his ass after he takes a **** with 100 dollar bills for decades to come.

    If it means anything to yu, I called The Grand in a state of disbelief to varify those ridiculous prices, right? They said that's what they refer to as, "Initial third-party broker prices" and that I can expect to pay around $200 for the cheap seats I normally buy at $100 or in the case of Marquez/Casa, $75. The Grand won't be able to relay to anyone a definate/set price for about another month.

    For those who are interested, this fight should also be shown over at Mandalay Bay via closed circut. My friend saw DLH/Mayweather over there cause he didn't wanna pay $150 like I did and instead paid only $50.

    LMAO!!! You would have to be a fool to pay that for flour seats. Paying $50 bucks is bad enough to watch it on tv.

    You wont be able to scoop up a 200 dollar seat, as these sell out within literal seconds online, the second they become available to the general public. As I stated, the nosebleeds, and cheap seats sell out IMMEDIATELY. There will be some 750 dollar seats after the initial rush, but these too will go, probably the MGM will be SOLD OUT within 1 week of the tix being available to the General Public.

    The Sad Part about all this is the Comps. The Comped Tix go to the High Rollers and "Guests of the Casino"....if your name is Hugh Hefner, and you and the Girls are going to need a 3500.00 a night suite for a week, and you are going to be blowing cash by the wadfulls at the tables, the MGM will ensure that you and the girls get a sweet ass 4 seat section. Same if you are Bill Richardson, or a friend of Oscar's. If you are one of Jim Lampley's stripper girlfriends, you will have a closer seat than the most hardcore fan here. And the sad fact is, she scarcely watches the ****ing sport.

    Grab a 750. Then sell it on EBAY for 2000, and then purchase a 1000 dollar seat off of VIP Tickets.com, for the same original 750 area. Now you have a ticket and 1000+
    profit, there Moneybags!:yep
