    Default ODLH vs Pacquiao already sold out???

    Tickets went on sale this morning at 10. There are several news reports saying the fight is sold out and has already resulted in the second highest gate in history with 17 Million. But I went to Ticketmaster to buy a ticket and there are still a bunch of great seats left. Is this just a marketing ploy to increase interest in the fight?

    I think it's already sold out since it's reported by many reliable sites like ESPN and FightNews...

    I guess when there's only 100 tickets left out of the 16,000 tickets for sale then it's already considered sold out and considering that the fight is still more than 2 months to go... So this might explained what you have experienced...


    From FightNews:

    De La Hoya-Pacquiao SOLD OUT!

    Tickets to "The Dream Match" -- the 12-round welterweight super fight between six-division world champion OSCAR DE LA HOYA and boxing's No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter MANNY PACQUIAO – are already gone just hours after going on sale today, making the almost 16,000-seat arena a complete sell out with a gross gate of almost $ 17.0 million, making it the second biggest gate in boxing history.


    "This is just a reflection of the overwhelming interest in this mega-event and we are extremely delighted that tickets sales were so swift," said Richard Schaefer. "The match-up is one of the best in boxing and will be one of the biggest events the sport has ever seen."

    "This is fantastic and shows the magnitude and appeal of this event," said Bob Arum. "When you have two superstars like Manny Pacquiao and Oscar de la Hoya fighting each other, the public is going to respond and that is what they just did. No one wants to miss this one."

    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I agree that many of those tickets are at the hands of scalpers right now... Scalpers knew that they can make a killing out of this very in-demand Hoya-PAC tickets...

    It's hard to argue as a fan against fights like this when it's so easy to make the big cash, i'm not a big fan of this thing but shit i sure as hell don't blame them Scalpers or the tooth fairy it doesn't matter as far as golden boy is concerned as long as the money is in thier acct at the end of the day five people could show up and the rest of the tickets could be thrown away.
