484 tickets available for Mayweather-Ortiz.

Tickets are too damn expensive. I live 5-10 mins from mgm, wouldve loved to go, im not about to pay 300 bucks for some ****ty seat when i can get a way better view from my couch. Plus cheaper drinks, better food etc... Exactly. Same thing I said for Jones-Calzaghe at MSG which I live 25-30minutes away from. $400 were the cheapest seats. The fight actually sold 10k tickets. At the time I was 19 and was not working, my father would have paid for it. He was not about to pay a total of $800 to see a past prime Jones, all the way from the back seats, while blind. How much are/were the cheapest seats for Marquez-Pacquiao III? pretty sure it's not $300-400.

could this be because canelo is fighting at a different site? iunno

:crybaby::crybaby: :LOL::LOL:

This really isn't that bad considering, that this is a split venue. Not bad at all, but those prices are way out of my league.

Nevada will count a ticket sold if a promoter pays the tariff on the ticket (tax) so (I know you know what this means but I gotta explain it) what that means is that if say GBP reports to NSAC that 15k tickets sold in essence GB could have paid the tariff on those 15k tickets and counted them as sold and then.........everyone.....count that as gate revenue Ya reckon theyre also going to do that for the over 1 million ppv buys this bout wilo do?

that include tickets being resold on Ebay and stubhubs all the good seats were soldout weeks ago it also shows Pacquiao vs Marquez has about 1577 tickets still available and the pac marquesz fight is in november oh when is the floyd fight? tomorrow!! :lol1:

The only thing that matters is the gate revenues. Pac-Marg sold 30,000 tickets... but only 6 million dollars. This fight will have 13,000 tickets..and about 10-11 million dollars. This right here. Pactards care a lot about this fight not selling out. The thing is, it doesn't have to sell out when it's going to make more money than any other sellout this year, at gate revenue. Forget about PPV numbers, it's gonna crush Pac-Marquez III. It's not that hard selling out a fight with tickets as cheap as they had it. It is for Mexicans and Pinoys afterall.

I care because this is all part of the sport people tend to forget this is how they make their living so while I may be a fan first and foremost I also still cover the sport and still work with fighters within the sport Thanks for the response but like I said I find it kinda shady when you use this fight to talk about it but when BUM BUM is fighting or Margs you never have nothing to say about that you youself said this happens all the time but you wont mention it during the week leading up to cotto margs II If you werent bias you would talk about it when margs fights and pac too you make it sound like this only happens with GBP fights and Floyd If you are a fan of the sport where is the outrage from you or at the very least concern as a fan when Arum pulls his crap with sham fights for pac or is it ok because your boy Margs got a shot at a huge payday and a belt that netiher he nor manny deserved?

wow, that's pretty crazy. i could've gone to this...sucks for the people who bought their tickets right away...

They aren't sold already.....you can go on ticketmaster now and still purchase tickets for the fight.

So you can scam investors and sponsors + other people. By saying how successful your events are + getting cheaper venue prices by saying oh look how much gate brought in plus all the booze sold but that's illegal I'm pretty sure who ever is involved could get jail time for fraud

Hey E do you really care so much? I dont remember reading this type of posts from you justifying the tickets sold for the pac margs fight?? who cares how they count it point is its counted and the fighters make their money who cares if they get bums off the blvd to fill the seat? point is it will be packed and the tickets are coutned as sold I care because this is all part of the sport people tend to forget this is how they make their living so while I may be a fan first and foremost I also still cover the sport and still work with fighters within the sport

why would they exaggerate the revenue? wouldn't that mean they will have to pay more on taxes fighters Purses and other fee's? So you can scam investors and sponsors + other people.

i thought it was sold out? Sold out on Ticketmaster, but bought out by all the brokers who re-sell it. Brokers are some of the biggest crooks and scammers in the business, they are shady as hell. You should see some big concerts, they use computer programs that auto-buy thousands of tickets or have 500 indians to spam the server as soon as tickets go on sale and they buy all of them up. Once they are bought they resell them for double or triple the price. Ticketmaster trying to put Catchpa but they just hiring indians/cambodians/chinese to work for a dollar an hour to sit and click and make orders using pre-paid mastercards

Are you serious? I thought they counted tickets sold against freebies? I know a few small time promoters and they give away 50% or more of their tickets for free. You telling me that GBP can just pay like 10$ on a $100 ticket and $100 will count to the gate? Isnt that a little scammy? Since GBP can give away all the tickets for free and pay the tariff and then scam investors by saying "oh look how much gate we did". I have a feeling like 20% of tickets were bought by fans, 30% by brokers, 25% by MGM to give away for free and 25% by GBP to give to fans/media/sponsors/friends/family/promoters/volunteers/industry folks, etc That's what I have been told by a few people gate is a very fluid term in Nevada.

i thought it was sold out? Secondary vendor market. Meaning, if stub hub or another vendor purchased tickets, those are still available. They jack up prices by many time what they got them for (not in the case of Mayweather-Ortiz as Eaner pointed out). There are ringside tickets selling for as much as $16,000 on stub hub for Pacquiao-Marquez. With the usual asian high rollers, aka whales, who go to Manny fights and drive up casino revenues, they should have no issue moving those tickets. You can only get 1 ticket on ticketmaster (last time I checked) for the Pac fight, and it's only ringside.

i thought it was sold out? very very few events are sold out anymore I think it will sell out eventually but from what I have been told brokers are happy with the brisk sales of this event and looks like they won't be giving any of them back
