I have checked the ticket sales again and it seems to be slow again :confused:. Hope this event is a sell out. I want to be in that arena with a capacity crowd darn it!
Just hope they don't cancel again :rolleyes:.

Marquez and Floyd both need big names in the opposite corner because nobody wants to see them.
Neither are known for having exciting styles either so I cant see it being a classic. More " interesting"
Manny vs Shane is a fight that would be huge.
I think I just heard Floyd break another rib.....
Mayweather can be boring lots of times but I'm not sure why you would say that about JMM, he's been knockin folks out!:o
fukks nos, i no ill be payin for the fight tho, i dont no why its not sellin, i really thought tickets wold be sellin like hot cakesQuote:

It's a good thing IMO, Floyd needs to know that he is nothing without a popular opponent and stop this "I'm the cash cow" bollocks it's extremely irritating.
Didn't Floyd make over 500000 buys with Baldomir, actually I think it was closer to 700000 wasn't it? I think ticket sales hardly reflect ppv sales, I mean Pacquiao-Hatton wasn't sold out until 2 weeks before the fight, and look at its numbers.
Mayweather vs Baldomir only generated 325,000 ppv buys.Quote:

He didn't have big numbers until he fought Oscar and Hatton, and those buys came courtesy of Oscar and Hatton fans. ;D
Lies, Lies and more lies. Pac-Hatton sold out quick likeQuote:

I think it's too early to try and forecast how many might actually watch the fight. Appears that some are uncertain that the fight will take place. Will see what it does in PPV numbers if the fight happens.
I wouldn't advise anyone to scalp any tickets though, the price might actually go down closer to gate time if there are a whole bunch ticket left.
ummm then why did Mayweather/DLH & Mayweather/Hatton still get more PPV sales than Pacquiao/DLH & Pacquiao/Hatton?Quote:

I'm just speculating, but I would say that was because the PBF-ODH/PBF-Hatton fights meant more than did the Pac ones. ODH was still seen to be near the top of his game and Hatton was an undefeated P4P fighter when they fought. Pac - ODH was generally seen as a mismatch, it lacked the promotion of the PBF fights, and it just didn't capture peoples imaginations the way the PBF fight did. Hatton had also lost a great deal of his allure by the time he fought Pac. The Pac-Hatton fight also occurred at a time where the economy was not as good as it had been.Quote:

Actually this fight is not dissimilar to Hatton-Pacquiao, for which only the $150 tickets went initially as in this case. However, the $300 tickets went quicker then than they have here as they had gone a week after tickets were released, but that doesn't mean they won't go. I'm pretty sure it will be packed, the high rollers will want tickets & a lot of people who decide to go that weekend will shell out for the fight also.
the highly anticipated 24/7 series will help boost this, it has to sell.
