Pacquiao - Clottey Fight Discussion

[killersheep]

I think Clottey may win the first round and maybe the second, while Pac sizes up his power and range. That's all I can really see him getting away with Clottey goes on vacation in the championship rounds, so if it's even close going into the later rounds it's Pac's fight. Clottey needs a KO to take this I don't think his lunging straight rights will connect effectively at all against Pac's superior lateral movement.

As ElTerrible said, it's very telling that there is next to no talk about this fight and it's just coming up this weekend.

Current odds for Pac/Clottey

Any means
Pac: -500 = 1/5
Clottey: +450 = 9/2

Draw: +3300 = 33/1

The fight isn't talked about here but on other boards it's being talked about quite a bit. Plus I just read that the 45,000 seats are almost all sold out and it's expected to, unless Arum and Jones is bullshitting.Promoter Bob Arum expects sellout for Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey fight at Cowboys Stadium - ESPN Dallas

I'll go out on a limb and say this fight does around 850k-900k.

I checked some other boards and here's what I found

Understandably they have a whole section dedicated to this fight.

There are definitely still seats available as well Pacquiao v Clottey tickets Cowboys Stadium Arlington, TX, Directions, seating chart. Official Ticketmaster site.
I guess the dropped they floor seat prices as well because they weren't selling. I do hope it sells out as I always like to see live boxing do well. But it's not looking likely.
