Floyd bought tickets for his fight to cover low ticket sales

"A Nevada commission source opined that Mayweather camp may have bought just enough unsold tix simply to nudge his gate ahead Pacquiao-Mosley" -Dan Rafael. twitter so at the end of the day hes still 42-0 26 kos 40 mil richer wbc champion go home to his fine ass fiance spend time with friends and family. and on to bigger better things. lol his haters come up with anything negative to say. over and over is this how grown men act really? like little hating ass females in a beauty salon hating on every other female doing good?

lmao and flomos were mad when Steve kim tweeted that the fight was selling so badly that the MGM was giving out unheard of promotion packages, little did they know the true numbers are much worse than even they realized Floyd himself must be mad that a Filipino and a Mexican can come into his hometown and sellout the same arena 2 months in advance while he can't even come close to selling it out, even with comps and promotional packages LOL at unheard of... Have you ever been to Vegas?

ortiz had more fans that wifebeater did

"A Nevada commission source opined that Mayweather camp may have bought just enough unsold tix simply to nudge his gate ahead Pacquiao-Mosley" -Dan Rafael. twitter That's some quality reporting right there!! I opine that Buboy is giving it to the illiterate congressman up the culo.

What a shiity thread, with no real source! NSB is a fuucking DUMP!!

At this point in FMJs career, he is as much a promoter as he is a boxer. He is there to promote the fight and future FMJ fights. As long as the ticket is paid for it should count towards the gate, regardless of who or why it was purchased. This applies for all promotions, marketing, gifts, etc..

Lets take look at the series of tweets that surrounded that tweet (All within a hour): Dan Tweets: Based on today's stats for the Mayweather-Ortiz ticket sales I think the Pacquiao-Marquez fight will sell more tickets next month. A Nevada commission source opined that Mayweather camp may have bought just enough unsold tix simply to nudge his gate ahead Pacquiao-Mosley Spoke to TR's @ToddDuboef and he said Pacquiao-Marquez has already sold more tickets than Mayweather-Ortiz and is already a virtual sellout. According to @ToddDuboef the Pacquiao-Marquez gate will exceed $10 million, probably more. So Floyd/Ortiz numbers come out, and it shows that he outsold Pac's (Top Rank) last 3 fights in live gate. Then all of sudden Dan has a source all while he is around or talking to Todd Duboef (Top Rank). What a Shock. smh.

Tickets were overpriced. This exactly. Like I said in another thread. I could damn near walk to MGM from my house. Im still not gonna pay 300 bucks to sit far as ****, pay for overpriced drinks, overpriced food, have to deal with traffic on the strip, and drunk ****ing tourists that think Vegas is "their town tonight woohoo". **** that.

Thread title: Floyd bought tickets for his fight to cover low ticket sales Actual Tweet: A Nevada commission source opined that Mayweather camp may have bought just enough unsold tix simply to nudge his gate ahead Pacquiao-Mosley LOL, you see the difference there? Heres another tweet from Dan you could mention... @danrafaelespn Dan Rafael "According to Nevada commission, Floyd-Ortiz gate was exactly $9M (14th all-time in Nev) with 13,364 tix sold, 3,052 unsold, 1,268 comps."

When Muhammad Ali is sitting ringside for the Mayweather-Mosley fight... who bought that ticket? Wasn't it the promoter? When Brad Pitt and Angelina jolie are sitting ringside for a Pac or May fight.... who bought those tickets? If Robert Garcia and Bam-Bam Rios attended the fight, who would have bought the tickets for them? Do you think Floyd and 50Cent went to the ticket window and bought tickets for the Berto/Ortiz fight? It's almost staggering how little the Filipinos understand about the business of boxing. You've got to be one of the most over-protective, butt hurt flomos in this forum.

i REALLY thought about buying tickets for that event... especially after i saw the MGM package deals being promoted ($600 = suite & 2 tix to fight).... same thing for pac/jmm... i thought about it. even if floyd/ortiz fight turned out to be shít, i wouldve loved to experience fight week. I was going to get that same package but I couldnt call of work for saturday and sunday morning it sucked. I went to Manny vs Cotto and had that whole experience, i hope I can experience a floyd fight before he retires If Floyd and Manny ever fought and I was there live id be too excited, i dont know if my heart would be able to take it lmao

Dan Rafael don't know sh1t about boxing. :D When Muhammad Ali is sitting ringside for the Mayweather-Mosley fight... who bought that ticket? Wasn't it the promoter?

"A Nevada commission source opined that Mayweather camp may have bought just enough unsold tix simply to nudge his gate ahead Pacquiao-Mosley" -Dan Rafael. twitter You mean a promoter bought tickets for his own event? This is SHOCKING news!!

Im not a Floyd fan but tickets were overpriced and anyway the important thing business wise is the gate and judging from the ticket prices with 13 k sold it was pretty high. i REALLY thought about buying tickets for that event... especially after i saw the MGM package deals being promoted ($600 = suite & 2 tix to fight).... same thing for pac/jmm... i thought about it. even if floyd/ortiz fight turned out to be shít, i wouldve loved to experience fight week.

its funny to see floyd boys acting like they dont care about this... one of their BIGGEST bragging points is floyd's drawing power. but once news drops about lacking sales, they act like it doesnt matter. pretty interesting.

i was really envious of people who were able to make the trip out to vegas for floyd/vic... but after the 4 round rip-off, im glad i didnt drop the money for it.

If this is true Floyd's pride and ego is just on another level, this guy prolly doesnt sleep at night thinking about pacquaio.

dont think i care,it was a great card and a great night of boxing for me..thats all that matters I'd rather watch big fights on my comfy sofa infront of my 55" hdtv having beer and pulutan with my buddies anytime than going to a live fight, unless I can get front row seats for under $100.
