Marquez-Mayweather: No lion, free tickets, apathy, strictly "B" List

I was thinking it but thought there is no need to mention it because if it happened the press will write about it. GBP gave out free ticket to fill the seats for the cameras.

Michael Marley is a tabloid journalist, there's a reason he doesn't even get a single slot for anything but the Examiner (effectively a low-paying blog). He represents all that is wrong with US boxing journalism & makes Dan Rafael look like Hemingway. If you don't remember he's the one who basically wrote a story implying that Corrales & Gatti were pussies immediately after Gatti's death & that he was 'more of a man'.

I voted between 400,000 - 600,000.

I actually want to say below 400,000, but I thought that I would be generous.

[Youngblood]

Going to make my guess at 780, 024 (give or take a few). Call me an optimist.

This could mean one or two things.

It means that either people were searching Mayweather Marquez because they didn't order it or it means that it was a lot more popular then we thought it would be. Maybe both. So I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad trhing

I have no opinion on his journalism, but apparently his story has some facts in it.

Mayweather-Marquez comes up short at gate, draws $6.8 million - USATODAY.com

By J. Michael Falgoust, USA TODAY


While it remains unknown how well Floyd Mayweather's return to the ring did on pay-per-view and closed circuit, his easy 12-round decision against a Mexican opponent didn't sell out despite it being Mexican Independence weekend.


Attendance at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas was announced at 13,116, but Thursday the numbers from the Nevada State Athletic Commission showed that 12,009 tickets were sold at face value, 895 tickets were comps — or giveaways — and 2,645 went unsold.
The total gate: $6,811,300.



The base salary for Mayweather was $10 million while Juan Manuel Marquez cleared $2 million.
