[beenKOed]

The fact that Floyd's predictably utter shutout of Canelo is second on the all time list just proves how stupidly boxing fans spend their money.

True dat.

Dat be Hispanic fans dat do dat.

Admission will be charged for fans to attend Mayweather-Pacquiao weigh-in

LAS VEGAS – In the last seven years, weigh-ins for major fights have become an event unto themselves. Weigh-ins are, by Nevada law, open to the public, and thousands of fans who weren't able to afford tickets to the fight the next night would pack the arena to catch a glimpse of the boxers.

No weigh-in was more memorable than the one the afternoon before the 2007 match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ricky Hatton. Tens of thousands of Hatton fans packed the MGM Grand Garden and sang and cheered for hours, with the strain of "There's only one Ricky Hatton!" reverberating throughout the casino.

Fans who want a similar experience for the May 2 Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight had better be prepared to pay for the privilege.

For what is believed to be the first time in Nevada history, admission will be charged for fans to attend the weigh-in on May 1 in the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Francisco Aguilar, the chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said he sought the advice of the Nevada attorney general's office before permitting the charge.

"All of the money, every dollar, from the ticket sales will go to the charities," Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said.

Mayweather has designated the Susan B. Komen Foundation as his charity. Pacquiao picked the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health as his charity. Proceeds from the weigh-in ticket sales will benefit those charities equally.

Royce Feour was the long-time boxing writer at the Las Vegas Review-Journal and covered fights in Nevada dating back to the early 1960s. He said he could recall admission being charged by the old Dunes Hotel/Casino for fans to watch Floyd Patterson work out before a fight with Sonny Liston. However, Feour said that as far as he can remember, admission has never been charged for fans to attend a weigh-in in the state.
The charge is not, however, because the fighters are looking to milk every last cent from the promotion. Rather, it's going to be tried as a form of crowd control.

Officials are expecting upward of 50,000 people in the MGM who will be attending the closed circuit broadcast of the fight the next day. The fear is that a large percentage of them will attempt to attend the weigh-in and it could create an unruly situation.

So by charging a nominal fee that has yet to be determined, only fans with tickets will be able to get in and it should make controling the crowd easier, Aguilar said.

"We want to make it as safe as possible for the fighters and for everyone who attends," Aguilar said. "And if fans know they need a ticket to get in, it might prevent people lining up way earlier or any disagreements as people attempt to get into the arena."

Till I read moneys from the tickets would go to donation, I thought what a shit move.

RIngside was good last night the entire show about this fight with Hatton, Smith And Moore and a studio audience.
Nelson went round everyone with a mic and got their predictions.
Floyd came out slightly on points but loads of people think he never wanted this fight in the first place and was forced into it by public pressure.
With that in mind a lot of people reckon all the pressure is on Floyd to keep his O intact and that could play a big part.
Plenty think Manny will throw too many punches and put him in the deep end by midway just like I do which hopefully will force Floyd to attack and go for a rare KO win.

The nearer this gets the more I think we could see the very best of both fighters and get an absolute belter of a fight.

This could actually go down as one of the greatest fights in history and I don't just mean occasion wise.

I see a real fight developing if Floyd loses the opening 4-5 rounds 😉

Manny says killer instinct still there

"Manny Pacquiao said Wednesday his "killer instinct" and will to win is as strong as ever, rejecting suggestions he is past his prime for next month's blockbuster bout with Floyd Mayweather. "

I don't think any of the tickets are going on sale, 1000 only were supposed to be so it looks like that's maybe not gonna happen.
99% of them will have already been dished out privately to high rolling casino guests from all over the world and corporate big cheeses/VIPs , movie and rock stars etc.
The atmosphere won't be too electric because of that 😉

Agreed. I don't see those rich twats going at it like the general public fans. It would be mental in there with the public going. The weigh in will maybe be as electric as it will get.

[El Kabong]

I want to see some knockdowns! That's how you get an exciting fight. It's certainly not beyond either fighter to win by KO
