70,000 tickets have been sold for the Pac-Marg Fight

No shit Sherlock :lol1: The prices are really affordable. $100 something for the cheapest tickets. At that price, of course it should sell out. $50-$300 dollar tickets for Mosley-Margarito=Biggest attendance in Staples Center's history. This is really good though, more promoters should do this. One thing i'll give the greedy old man credit for is for making it affordable to watch fights live and bringing fights back to stadiums in the US. Same was with Cotto-Foreman. At the end of the day 50k+ plus is 50k+. And, if it true that 70K+ tickets are sold. It speaks volumes about the popularity. No such a thing as "of course it should be a sell out" if we talking about 70k in attendance. Because, it does take more than cheap tickets, parking isn't cheap, food, drinks, isn't cheap, if you coming from out of town/out of state plane tickets gas isn't cheap, if some spend the night or here for the weekend that is more money, and to waste your Saturday night for a fight that is by all accounts a BS type of fight. And, for70k to truly show up cheap or no cheat fight tickets is incredible. No, "of course they should sell out" or the other crap you wrote on your other post trying to discredit the number.

He's exactly the type. And not for nothing but...most owners do that. And then give them away to their friends, family, etc. Not sell them. heck, my have five NY Giants tickets for Sunday's game sitting on his desk that he didn't pay for. That's just the way it foes. Money well spent if he did it that way, he owes the Cowboy faithful that shell out huge money something for the product they have put out on the field.

Ah that explains the Avatar :p There are a heck of Ghanains in London and yes Africans on the whole have much respect compared the the UK blacks and West Indians here. Always trying to get a discount fof me but they come in with a smile and money. One of my best mates up to age 16 was Ghanain, one of the sweetest guys ever. But he turned into a crackhead lol Yes, even in Africa Ghanaians are supposedly the nicest. Whatever that means lol. Sorry about your friend...I blame the Western culture.

I guess this throws the theory out the door that the human race was born out of Africa....and when did Africa became a country? The last time i checked it was still a Continent. Obviously, only Blacks are human :rolleyes:

Blacks come from Africa. That's like a country. I guess this throws the theory out the door that the human race was born out of Africa....and when did Africa became a country? The last time i checked it was still a Continent.

Jones would rather look good than have the money, hell he could give them away as gifts to season ticket holders as an apology for the Cowboys season. He seems like the sort that would do such a thing. He's exactly the type. And not for nothing but...most owners do that.

I really haven't read much of this thread but I glanced at a few pages and I read something about people saying Jerry Jones buying 20k plus tickets. That's crazy because if you went to Pac vs Clottey then you would have known there was a huge filipino turnout. I'm guessing over 20k easily as there were filipino's everywhere when I was walking around the stadium. I notice a huge latino turnout as well....so I'm not shocked at the news of 70k tickets being sold. lol he's now saying jones bought 30K...jones must've distributed those tickets to pinoy fans:lol1:

Floyd fans discrediting as predicting.

69,000 Mexicans lol

If this is true, which I doubt, that's really great news for the sport...

I don't know if he re-sold all 30,000 (pretty ridiculous, actually). But I'm pretty sure he got a nice hefty discount. And I'm sure he gave them to his corporate buddies as he saw fit. Call it a hunch but I suspect Money Jones doesn't do ticket scalping.

True that. But Jerry Jones still bought 30,000 tickets for the Clottey bout. That's boxing today. Chavez-Whitaker also ran front page on Sports Illustrated. A lot's changed, man. Thanks for the compliment about Ghanaians though - we are pretty nice. yeah I talked to several and even did a little eli seckbach in which I record a few people to get some pre-fight predictions. I'm not sure how the ticket sale thing worked but I don't see how Jones bought that many tickets? Maybe he did...but If he did would he resell them...because it was 50k fight fans....and not a bunch of buddies of Jones (such as ex players etc) I sh1t you not...but there had to be 20k (if not more) filipino fans at cowboys stadium.

I was at the fight march 13th and there was a huge filipino turnout as well as a huge Mexican American turnout. Hell I even ran into several Ghanian's(some of the nicest people you could meet) although that number was small non the less. I just think it comes down to the fact that Texas is a state full of fight fans. Chavez vs Whitaker did 60k and it seems every event I catch here does pretty well considering we haven't had a lot of big name fights as of late. True that.

Or that Jerry Jones still supports fights in his stadium, like he did the Clottey one. I was at the fight march 13th and there was a huge filipino turnout as well as a huge Mexican American turnout.

We'd have to have a 100,000 seat arena for that... He got 55,000 in Manchester for Lazcano but he'd have needed to be fighting a big name to fill Wembley. It could have been done, a hattan rematch with mayweather, or hatton vrs khan, would have been a sell out.

Tickets at $5-$300 the least this fight can do is sell out the Dallas Stadium. When you have tickets at $400 for backrow seats, you'd be lucky to draw in 10-15k :nonono: More fights should be held in stadiums for cheap ticket prices. Not $400-500 for the cheapest tickets and $1000s of dollars for decent seats. What? Are you sure? Where you saw that at? Let me know so I can take my whole family? Or are you just trying to be sarcastic? :lame:

Ricky hatton could have sold out 100 thousand arena in the uk.
