Why is no one talking about this?
Maidana the cash cow *****es.
Also puts Mayweather at 3 of the top 4 positions, outing Pac vs DeLa Hoya.
Maidana is a bigger draw then Pac.
Its all entertainment ,taking suckers money,your s included
This isnt even the 4th best choice of opposition
Maidana is the biggest threat to Floyd in the divison. Book mark this post right now and come dig this up after Floyd fights Manny if they ever do, I promise you Maidana will have taken way more out of Floyd, Manny is tailor made for Floyd stylistically and Maidana is a potential nightmare for both.
'wraps so you know who said it.
Bc who gives a ****?
His last fight was #1, do we really care about #4?
True, from that perspective, it's a decline because he slipped down to #4 coming off a #1.

Maidana is the future cash cow.
Again, doesn't matter whose money it is...SOMEONE paid for the tickets. Doesn't matter if it's brokers or MGM for comps or the Crown Prince of Dubai who bought them...the event sold $15M in tickets. That's a big deal.
They don't want to hear that. :)
There's 4248 tickets for sale listed on TiqIQ.
It's hard to go by sites like this because they could be listing the same ticket that is on sale at 2 different sites. I am sure there are a couple thousands tickets unsold on the secondary market though.
These numbers used to mean something, but live gate and PPV numbers are so inflated these days bc there's no way for the average person to fact check them. Ticket brokers snag the majority of the tickets after the comps are taken, and Floyd has made it clear that he personally spends a million on tix, so you never really know how accurate the number is.
Same with PPV figures--I used to look forward to these numbers being released to gauge a fight's public interest...now they don't mean cow ****.
When did $600,000 become a million...what happened to other $400,000???
Let me guess you did Pacquiao TAXES
Calling something stupid before reading it--par for the course in dealing w a moron. No chance that the casino is comping a **** load of tix for people in town for Kentucky Derby and/or NBA playoffs. The fact that you think it doesn't matter how the money at the gate is generated tells me all I need to know...and should also answer your original question as to why this isn't huge news.
And the reason Pac-Bradley did 8 mill is bc the fix was in on the first fight and arum gambled wrong. Couple that w the fact that TR can't promote a fight for ****, and there's your difference.

You are reaching hard here. A fight does 15m, it means people want to watch it, and it doesn't matter how that 15m was obtained, the fact is 15m was obtained, and that's 4th all time. Quit trying to twist **** around. Your acting like any card can just be the 4th all time if it wanted to. That's why Arum made Pac-Bradley only do 8m right?
True. Money is money, so it doesn't matter if the event sold $15m in tickets bought by brokers or $15m in tickets bought by fans. Regardless, $15m in tickets were actually purchased. That's 4th best all-time, regardless of who was buying the tickets.
Yes--I really don't want Mayweather to sell tickets to a boxing match...you caught me. I'm a boxing fan and want every match to sell (except for PAC-Bradley 3 bc that's an Arum sham).
And you're an absolute moron if you don't know how tickets to a major event are sold these days. Even the most unambitious google search re: inflated ticket prices and limited access to actual fans will give you a month's worth of reading. But since you're clearly mentally challenged, here's an article written at the 4th grade level that will broadly explain to you how this works, and why the 4th highest live gate bs is inflated

Dude, I don't need to read your stupid article. A fight sells based on projections these days, and brokers aren't going to pay out the ass unless they feel it will sell. They are all in it to make money.

You are completely full of ****. Just admit you don't want to give credit to Mayweather.
Who cares if he buys a million in tickets. Even with that its still 4th or 5th all time.
Maidana also headlined a card that set the boxing attendance record at Home Depot Center.

This.....
Plus did people not see the crowd that went to see Broner vs Maidana? Why would Floyd Maidana not be exponentially better with Mayweathers name?
As you can see, it is.
