I doubt the difference would be that much, the figures he gave meant that the average seat would be 2000 if he wanted to make 40 more minus construction fees. Also M could likely put up the money to make up most of the difference. I can't see this fight being anywhere but MGM, and a closed arena has way better atmosphere.
The stadium is total bullshit, did it bring more dollars for Marg vs Pac or Clottey vs Pac at the million seat Dallas stadium.? ( don't know the actual seating capacity)
This has dragged on way to long and I don't think it will be bigger then Mayweather vs DelaHoya, ringside seats and pay per view may cost more but they will never beat the pay per view numbers sold.
I've never bought a pay per view anyways and this fight will be no different, add to that the millions around the world who do the same in the internet days of free streams. It has been five years already since the highest grossing fight and more ways to watch without paying the large fee's.
