Floyd Mayweather-Victor Ortiz on Sept. 17, 2011. What do you make of this?

[fan johnny]

Don't jump down my back for assuming Box Rec always has the facts straight. But......they do have Floyd and Victor fighting on the 17th in Cowboys Stadium. Please tell me why Cowboys Stadium? Isn't this Arum's turf? And Victor and Floyd aren't connected or going to do favors for Arum. Anyone have any ideas?

Floyd will be lucky to sell 20000 tickets and the stadium will be look empty.

Floyds fights only sell well when he is faceing a well known big name.

Baldomir isn't a well known name and that fight sold fine, Marquez barely sold 4,000 tickets for his fight with Katsidis and his fight with Mayweather sold out, so don't come with that little golden line of bullshit

Now Floyd is certainly a mega PPV draw, but for the live gate he hasn't sold out unless he had an elite "big name opponent" that is a live gate draw. I only know of two live gate sellouts for Mayweather and that is DLH and Mosley. I'm inclined to agree with the poster.

The Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas still are pending, but the live gate totaled $6,811,300, according to figures filed Thursday Sept. 24, 2009 by Golden Boy Promotions with the Nevada Athletic Commission.

The live gate was based on 12,009 tickets sold from a total of 13,116 distributed.
