Only the haters will hate on this!!
Mosley has never been a draw.
Margarito is expected to wipe out Mosley and the ticket sales are still going strong.
And, yes, i agree it is a ploy to get more people to buy tickets.
Yes so because Mosley did bad numbers against a few guys everybody knew he was gonna beat, he has nothing to do with the sales of a fight against another guy who can't sell tickets or PPV's worth a shit.
Had to respond to you. Only cowards ignore people because of one post they disagree with. Not that you needed to anyway, this is the first time you caught my attention and probably would've been the last. GOOD BYE.
get the fuk out of here your his fuken alt you think people are stupid? You have 10 accounts on boxingscene.
Listen buddy; Mayorga Mosley was one of the worst fights that Golden Boy ever gated. I saw some interview with Shaefer and he said that they're not gonna let another stadium stay empty like that for one of their "big fights". So, now they leave themselves a safety valve by saying some shit like "due to high demand, we're opening up more seats". Believe me, Margarito is a decent draw, but Mosley has absolutely no draw. Margarito pulls the hispanic community. The good news about these cheap seats is that you'll be able to go too.
I had tickets before they even went on sale and i wont even debate im almost positive i probably make alot more money thatn you do. Keep talking like an ignorant kid. Prime example #2 of the type of idiots i put on ignore.
100, 200. 300. 400?????????? what are you talking about. YOu obviously don't know what you're talking about and just filling this thread with hate. There isn't even tickets priced at that :rofl: If you would have bought some you would have known that. And tickets were priced low to begin with. You make yourself sound ignorant with "lower classes" the economy is why they have an affordable price to them. They did the same thing for cotto margarito fight

If this is the first news about a Margarito fight being sold out and needing extra seats then you have to assume that the other LA fighter who has fought Delahoya twice had to do something with it. Only a arrogant cholo would say reckless things like that.
This is Margarito we're talking about. The same guy who fought in front of 500 people in a ballroom that sold less then 20k PPV's 2 years ago.
I'll use you as a prime examples of idiots i put on ignore. Mosley just fought mayorga(an exciting fighter well known) in his hometown (los angeles) and barely drew 3500 fans. You have your head stuck so far up your ass you didn't even know that. Shane also fought collazo and drew around 3000 fans at the mandalay bay. If you knew anything about shane you would know he's not a big draw fuken ignorant fuk.
your second paragraph also shows your ignorance as the ppv event your talking about was held outdoors at cesars palace, yes the same venue where hollyfield and bowe had their classic fight. And guess who was on the undercard of that ppv, yup mr. shane mosley was on the undercard of margarito's ppv vs cintron. Now slap yourself till your as ugly as your mother.
Those are all sold out but all the 100, 200, 400, and up are all still available. This fight isn't gonna attract a high end clientele so they're gonna try to somehow make a profit by trying to attract the lower classes. Plus, alot of those 50 and 75 tickets get gobbled up by brokers who turn and flip them right before the fight for 100 and up. I bought 6 tickets at 50 myself and two days before the fight (after alot of promotion has occured) I'm gonna slang em for at least 100 each.
:haha: .......Hilarious. Green K.
No doubt, margarito is mostly responsible for this. Mosley, who USED to be a draw, couldn't even pack the house with Mayorga who himself was a draw back in the day.

:wave:$25 tickets !..well for a seat where u cant see anything of the boxers..i'll enjoy the fight on a free stream on the net..best view..
Yup. That's how I watch all Golden Boy fights. That company will never get a cent of mine ever again.
No, you're wrong. I knew haters would come out to play. The 50 sections are all sold out so they opened up more seats. Quit being an ignorant kid on the internet.
Sorry to break it to you homey. That's how shit works. Besides, I'm not hating, i'm spittin' knowledge. I'm gonna definitely watch the fight cuz i'm a fan of Margarito but I'm talking business here. So, shut up and you might learn something.
no bro go to ticketmaster if you don't believe it lol. the 75 and 50 sections are sold out!

I agree. I bet the ticket sales are actually slow and all they're doing is lowering the prices of that concourse which was initially opened up at 50 a pop. Nice try Arum and Oscar.

Is Marg becoming the new DLH?? Now that 98% of Mexicans think DLH is a rock star and not a fighter, maybe they're turning to a Mexican fighter who actually performs like one.
:lol1: that would be nice but marg will never be on dlh level in regards to draw. Margarito has always had a nice following always! Most people on this board never really knew of him until about a few months before the williams fight. He's just had a tough time getting big fights and he finally got one and now he's breaking out.
publicity gimmick thats all about!:boxing:
