PBC used 1iota, seat filling company, to fill seats

Dan Rafeal had reported that sales were at about 6k before the weigh in. Was surprised that the MGM looked so full after hearing that. They must have had a guy standing on the street giving out free buffet passes if people were willing to attend the fight. Too bad, as a fan I have enjoyed being able to see free boxing on local TV this year, the matchups haven't been terrible either. A lot of these fights would be on Showtime normally.

man steven kims hate towards haymon/floyd/pbc is on par of that of paulies hating on paciqoaio, like this dude really hates haymon and its getting kinda creepy.is steven kim mad cause there aint no asians on haymons stable?its not haymons fauls that pacquiaoo ruined his career with the snakes of top stank. Kim and his little sheep *****es are some of the saddest people on the internet.

Obviously they didn't use these companies for the last ghost Guerrero fight

According to Steve Kim, the PBC used Fillaseat instead of 1iota for the Porter-Broner fight. Steve Kim ;@steveucnlive · 4h4 hours ago Ok, so I'm told the PBC used 'Fillaseat'(another version of 1iota), to get asses in the seats at the MGM Grand last night #boxing Looking at the website, it looks like a membership that you pay to join....only available to locals and military: http://www.fillaseatlasvegas.com/ When shows, concerts, and sporting events here in Las Vegas have tickets that haven't sold out, they come to FillaseatLasVegas.com and give those tickets to our members, FREE!

:lol1: I wonder how long it takes for a post fight interview to be interrupted, with a "challenger" on the ring walk stage, with microphone in hand talking smack to the winner. Admit it, that would be awesome. WWE style boxing. Only that the punches are real.

Damn I people really don't want this to work huh? You realize that if this ship were to sink it's taking most of the sports biggest names with it... Just sayin

well he can't buy other promoters. but sell them on the idea. imagine if a worldwide boxing league was in place? $$$$ they could rob the boxers blind. set up any fight the fans want. a regular schedule. say 4 fights per top fighter a year. they get rich, fans get every fight they want. only loser is the top boxer. I don't think that would work. As far as I am aware,the UFC Model has created the company a lot of debt.

I'm cool with this. Hoping they do it for the Brooklyn show because I'll go up for that

Maybe that's why the fans looked so dead in the PBC premiere. I was wondering why the MGM seemed so quiet. It felt very weird

This stance is more pathetic to people acting as "accountants." To completely overlook an important facet of boxing- the business side- is inexcusable. Free tix doe. Haha! Please tell me you think this is a desperation move and not a thought out business decision

no the tickets they sold out and if kim was a real reporter he would have checked with the athletic comision to see how much they made out of tickets and they did acouple milions wiewers on nbc so that should big a coule milion in revenue from the advertisers..... They had TWO advertisers on NBC, Corona Beer and Travel.com, and they sure as hell didn't pay a couple of million to advertise on a network program with under 10 million viewers.

This stance is more pathetic to people acting as "accountants." To completely overlook an important facet of boxing- the business side- is inexcusable. Free tix doe. Then I guess companies like the NFL, NBA, MTV, ABC, ESPN & other networks should be kicking themselves for using this company as well for a good amount their events huh? Or are we gonna complain yet again about something else that Haymon's doing that other boxing promoters didn't think of?

Free tix + free boxing...trying find the negative here :lol1: EXACTLY! I'm trying to find out how can I sign up!

OK? Well how can I get Free Tickets? Because I'm A BOXING FAN and ALL give a fuk about is the fights I don't care about this other stuff because last time I checked I did not put a dime into this PBC stuff Haymon clearly has a LONG TERM PLAN to all his MADNESS, this is his and his Investors Dime so they can do what they want! In fact you don't even have to do all this, if you run into Sam Watson or his Sons just talk to them, tell them you're a BIG FAN and want tickets to a upcoming event and they will take care of you. A good Crowd makes the event come off as better on TV so by all means KEEP USING 1iota! I don't give a fuk. Boxing have the worse fans in all of Sports, most of these fukers who complain all day on this forum...Don't buy PPV's or Attend Events Live!

Where will the money come from to pay the purse and the production costs? The boxing fairy? no the tickets they sold out and if kim was a real reporter he would have checked with the athletic comision to see how much they made out of tickets and they did acouple milions wiewers on nbc so that should big a coule milion in revenue from the advertisers.....

Not a big surprise, really: Berto has been inactive until recently and is a former champ with faded props. Lopez is scrappy, but loses when he steps up, save for against Ortiz. Ortiz!:lol1: Porter just lost his title and is not that huge a star. Who the heck is Bone'? Arreola vs Harper was a late edition, though it was entertaining to see those fat guys trying to take each other's heads off. It's just not the kind of card that would generate much interest.

Easy solution..have the fights in fighters hometown. Broner in Cincy will be packed and exciting. Probably a decent crowd for the April 11th show. Putting 2 guys who don't draw in Vegas don't make sense. And last weeks card had all guys with virtually no big fanbases. I'm watching regardless so I don't give a rats azz who got in for free

Where will the money come from to pay the purse and the production costs? The boxing fairy? Not from me cause i want free tix and boxing. Maybe you....

They worried about how much money he's making No money coming in, no money to pay out. How many boxers you know who will fight for free on network TV?

They worried about how much money he's making And upset cause they wanted to pay for the fights and the tix i guess. Big ballers on NSB
