Pacquiao Packs an Economic Punch in Las Vegas

Kizer said the buzz surrounding fight weeks has come later in recent years, starting a week before, not three. Yet this fight sold out two weeks after tickets hit the market, for a projected $11.8 million in gross sales, which would rank ninth for all fights.
The commission, Kizer said, receives 6 percent of the gate, in addition to a $50,000 fee, good for $758,000, based on the projection. “One fight,” Kizer added, “basically covers our entire budget.”
According to TicketsNow, the average price of a Pacquiao-Marquez ticket is 42 percent higher ($1,049) than a ticket to Mayweather’s fight in September against Victor Ortiz ($610).
The Nevada Gaming Commission releases data monthly. In Pacquiao’s last triumph, a bout against Shane Mosley in May, the amount made by the casinos increased 28.9 percent compared with the same month a year earlier. That figure was boosted by a large baccarat tournament, which was helped by Pacquiao’s presence.

tell pac to beat floyds vs de la hoya numbers then come back talk to me.
and don't forget that pac has to give 30% at least to bob arum while floyd gets to keep at least 90% of the purse if not 100%..
floyd makes more money with one fight than pac with 3 fights...pacs ass belongs to top rank..lucky floyd got away from the devil....
if pac was promoted by someone else the fight would of happened a long time ago..but the greedy arum is not dumb...he called floyd the greatest fighter of all time for a reason :)
and tell us what's up with your boy/idol david haye??? you still praising him?? remember how wrong u were? :rofl:
Yes, his lover Ellebaby and golden boy work free for floyd, keep living in that dream world:D
Those were oscars number vs floyd, everyone knows it, the ONLY way floyd can do high numbers is if he fights a cash cow in oscar or pac, OR if he fights like once a year and does a fake retirement to get that fake buzz going.
pac sells more ppv per year than floyd= FACT
floyds vs marquez barely did 1m buys, that is AFTER a 2 year retirement, with no retirement the fight would have barely done 700k buys, watch how the cash cow pac does vs marquez with no retirement, just pure boxing class that is for sale for people to watch
you just keep making up things and live in your flomo world where everything is flomo, everyone beats children and women.
Yeah ignore Pacs 1.25m buys vs cotto and 1.15m with Margo, lol you flomos make me laugh
Pac sells more ppvs per year than floyd, that is because he is the cash cow. His gate is also more as will be in the marquez fight coming up
this marquez fight will also do more ppv buys than floyds did despite him making his comeback

Idiots are the ones who pay more than they should,understand???
Pacquiao fans have to pay more for the seats and they have to pay too much IMO for the PPV..because the fight is not worth the money..for christ sake the fights is against a 40 year old at catch weight..
60-40 for pacquiao????
Where did you get that stupid idea from?? He sold only 700k against clottey :lol1:
Mayweather sells more..numbers don't lie...let's just compare the 4 fighters they have in common...hatton,de la hoya,marquez and mosley..mayweather sold more in each and every fight...so the 60/40 idea for pacquiao goes right through the window....

so you admit pacquiao generates more idiots than mayweather? pac deserves 60-40! 60-40 or no fight!

I picture you playing with a ball of yarn or something like that.
Do you ever do that while posting? In between typing roll around on your back with a ball of yarn or a plastic ball with a little bell in it?
This s'hit is f'ucking hysterical. LOL
You should have seen the vids Puga was posting... just a punch of celebs calling Mayweather a P*ssy.
Also... Paris Hilton in the Mosley fight is proof.
Speaking of Puga, have you seen him recently? I heard he was going to the fight. We might get to see him on TV again.

I have a sneaky suspicion that alot of the celebrities go there just for the publicity. I bet some of them are busy texting on their phone and barely pay attention to the fights. Thats not to say all of them are like that. I think I've heard and seen Jack Nicholson even on espn friday night fights. That guy goes to all the fights and he doesn't need the publicity because he is already a really big star.

How can Americans afford those ticket prices? You can buy a whole new good ass computer for 1 grand.
boxing is only for the rich now. that's why the fights are all in vegas where the highrollers are.

Top 10 ATG post.
Even with the 80k tickets in fights at Texas. Pacquiao's gate is not more than Mayweather.My post said gate numbers not gate revenue. There's a difference.
what do you expect? top rank robbing idiots of their money...I would too if I knew there are millions of idiots like check hooks and puga walking around to pay just to see pacs juicy calves move.

The only gate that Floyd win is security gate at his house.

This, right here, is a legendary post. I can't stop laughing.
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.
So if the fight is sold out, How come it is only 2m more. There are about 3k of difference on ticket sold.
The 3k unsold tickets for Floyd Ortiz were only going for $9.99. 3,000 people's were smart enough to save $10 because they knew it was going to s sh!t fight and they were right.
