A top 15 gate (ALL-TIME) against Victor Ortiz?
Name a time when more tickets were sold with a less commercial opponent.
EXCELLENT GATE.
:lol1: what a damn cocksucking bastard..hahahaha
Yes, or do you think the 50,000 fans in Germany pay in pretzels and beer for their tickets?
from my experience the tickets in europe are priced 20, 50 & 100$, few going for more. you can't expect expensive tickets in a huge venue, because you can't actually see much from the faraway seats. this works for football, but in boxing you have to be closer.
so judging from these numbers the typical gate in a sold out 50k stadium would be somewhere between 1 and 5 mil.$. klitschkos also get a lot of money from their sponsorship contracts, iirc.
]There are boxing matches in Germany and Mexico that dwarf a 9 million dollar live gate revenue? Interesting. Care to provide any figures to back up your claim?
Pac-Clottey & Pac-Margarito with 66,000+ tickets sold combined, barely matched the gate revenue of Mayweather-Mosley with 14,000+ tickets sold..
The tickets for Pacquiao fights are generally CHEAPER which are why they sell more, doofus.
Mayweather always outdoes Pacquiao when it comes to both GATE & PPV sales. And blows him completely out of the water in both departments when you compare the GATE & PPV #'s they do with common opponents.
Yes, or do you think the 50,000 fans in Germany pay in pretzels and beer for their tickets?
and they dont release the numbers, but doing some BASIC MATH can see they do more than 9m.
besides, you do realize Nevada's commision numbers arent accurate? They said if a PROMOTER PAYS THE TAX ON A TICKET THAT MEANS IF TICKET IS UNSOLD ITS STILL COUNTED TO THE LIVE GATE.
How do you think the Klitschko's make 20m+ a fight?
hint: 40-50k buying their tickets and booze.
but keep thinking that Nevada has ALL TIME grossing gates in their little Arena's where 30% of the tickets were comped/sold/given out FOR FREE.
I guess you went to the Flomo Math School, previous lessons included:
1 Wrong + 1 Wrong = RIGHT!
11 Years in a Decade
41 > 49
60% > 70%
it was pathetic. you have roughly 5,000 out of 17,000 tickets not sold in the fight capital of the world. And we don't know how many floyds camp bought or how many wanted their money back immediately after the fight like the dudes calling direct tv wanting their money back.
The # of ppl who left the arena feeling that their money was worth it was probably less than 5%
And that all time game number is skewed because it isn't adjusted for inflation. In case you morons don't know the fed has been printing money left and right and the dollar is MUCH weaker now than it was back then and if it was adjusted for inflation, this wouldn't be a top 50 live gate
Holy ****, get over it man.
Whats your ****ing problem?
Always got something stupid and negative to say about Floyd. What the **** are you even doing here. Isnt there a forum specifically for Pac fans? I think you would fit in better over there.
Fact: Pac sells more tickets to this fights than Floyd albeit at lower prices.
Fact: Floyd sells more PPVs than Pac.
im sure wal-mart sells more sneakers than nike
are you impressed?

This is funny cuz I don't really care, but Flomos talk about it all the time lol..
Pac sold 40K+ twice in a place that isn't even a boxing town.
Who's the bigger draw again?
Ticket sales is all about generating Money.. so lets see:
Pacquiao-Margarito Live Gate $5,404,760.

$Pacquiao-Clottey Live Gate 6,359,985

To clue you in, Mayweather/Ortiz had a larger live (ticket) gate then Pac's last fight, and the two before that.
Try another spin people. Always trying to turn something good into bad, and dont even know what some of yall are talking about.
IMO I don't like either Mayweather or Pac but if this was a Pac fight that had 3,052 unsold tickets and 1,268 comps, the Flomos were celebrating and praising their "God".
Fact: Pac sells more tickets to this fights than Floyd albeit at lower prices.

EXCELLENT GATE.
And don't forget that the Vegas gate was only half of the equation. Canelo fought in LA and was viewed on the big screen live via satellite in Vegas. After he fought the big screens were raised to the ceiling then Floyd and Ortiz entered the arena.

TOP 15 GATE IN LAS VEGAS
These gates are Pathetic compared to Mexico and Germany.
Keep saying "top 15 gate" when its top 15 for STATE OF NEVADA.
The fight’s sellout ensures a $9-million-plus live gate atop pay-per-view projections that indicate this will be Pacquiao’s richest bout yet, thanks to the involvement of CBS, and capable of becoming the most lucrative pay-per-view fight in history.

AFTER THE FIGHT, NEVADA COMMISSION REPORTS GATE REVENUE OF $8.8 MILLION.
So your b*tching about roughly 200-300K in revenue...really?
We get it bro, Floyd is king in America, as an American in his hometown
smh
BELIEVE ARUM IF YOU WANT....
Arum: Fight sold out
MANNY Pacquiao’s fight against Shane Mosley on May 7 (May 8 in Manila) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has been sold out, according to promoter Bob Arum.
In a report by BoxingScene.com, Arum was quoted as saying that closed circuit sales in Las Vegas "are very strong, with tickets available at MGM properties."
The fight will be available on Showtime Pay Per View.
"Well, this is a legitimate sellout. There is not a ticket to be had. I mean, there are zero tickets available. You can’t get a ticket for the love of money. At the box office, at ticket master, I mean, it is absolutely sold out," Arum was quoted as saying.
"I just think that the fans are in a lot of ways smarter than the media," said Arum. "The bottom line is that they, meaning the fans, know that Pacquiao-Mosley is going to be a really, highly entertaining fight."

He's not going to bet. He's reaching for anything negative to say about Mayweather.
I REALLY want him to bet.
Pacquiao's fights with Hatton, Margarito, Mosley or Cotto did not do even $9 million TOTAL in gate. And Arum is claiming that Pac-JMM 3 is at $10 million ALREADY?
That is the easiest Benjy I'll ever make.
