If you read his twitter feed, he is alluding to the fact that brokers are having trouble moving tickets at the current prices. Pretty funny if you ask me.
Once I canceld I brought a projector with a 100in sceen, called directv to hook up that new wireless genie thing they got.
The wife and I will be in the backyard watching the fight on a movie screen as long as it doesn't rain!
Rain on Cinco de Mayo weekend? Must not be from Cali! Its usually hotter than hell outside.
Fight shouldve been held in a BIG venue. MGM is too small.
yea what was up with that???
Some weird ***** going on. Arum was quoted as biitching about same questions already answered being asked , or some such other nonsense.
.
This might be part of the reason Arum abruptly halted the conference call?
Hope all of this is some clever narketing ploy and not some chaotic situation happening behind the scenes.

:haha:
Estimated delivery between 6th-12th May.
So even if the dude does get tickets, he can go the fight and then ship them after, and he won't be in breech of eBay's selling policy.
I despair that's there's actually some desperate idiots out there who'll fall for that shït.
They had plenty of time, they're just incompetent.
Didnt the deal get made with just 2 months left till fight day?
I don't think it was rushed both sides just wanted to spend as little money as possible because the fight being made alone sold it.
Promotion of this fight wasn't going to really add anymore numbers to the total # of ppv buys.
The undercard was going to be trash cause they want all the money for themselves. Suprised they even have an undercard. They don't want to break bread with anybody. Both sides want to keep as much of the pie as possible.
Basically FLoyd, Manny, Haymon and Arum stunted on all of us normal non top 10% earning citizens of the world.
They all knew what they were doing and what was going on. All were ok with it.
Well, I wasnt talking about the promotion part of it. Idk how to explain it. it just feels like it was rushed. Like they took too long to get it done then didnt have enough time to get everything coordinated.
Everything will be alright, guys. I think the tickets will be out sometime early next week. MGM will be packed come May 2nd. I'm sure the atmosphere in the arena will be insane!! Can't wait!

I wasn't serious about canceling. But definitely rushed. This could had been so much better with a little more time. This fight is supposed to bring boxing back on the map or at least some of it but it's kinda on the fail side as of right now... my opinion.
No tickets, sh*t undercard, etc etc.

Yea, there's no way ur serious. It was rushed tho. And it's still gonna be the biggest fight in history by far.

yea they dont get the magnitude of fight weekends in vegas. the town is absolutely lit on those days, literally everyone is there.
You have to be in the know or have lots of money to blow... Most ppl aren't loaded... so ppl are going to waste at least $500 a night on a room because they're "ballers"... $300 for CC for 2... and still have money left over to spend $40-$100 to get into a night club plus $10 a drink? And that's only the first night... most ppl arent going to want to spend that type of money... the why bother argument is valid... I went to the Guerrero fight and the only reason I was able to party the whole weekend after was because my gf friend was a resident... for some reason they were giving her deals because she had a NV ID...
I was able to get a ticket to the Super Bowl in Arizona the day of the game for about half the price I expected to pay. People won't have much time on couple days leading up to the fight to haggle. I bet tickets can be had on fight night if your willing to take the chance. Rooms on the other hand.....
This whole thing was "rushed".
They should just cancel this garbage.

Good. Why do people put themselves through the aggravation of going In the first place when you can sit In your own house In front of the big screen and watch It hassle free without eating someone else's elbow and drinking whats left of there flat beer, In a plastic cup and you can do It for a few hundred dollars as opposed to the thousands It would cost to attend live?
I guess they have the honor of letting there Facebook friends know that they were there.
That's like saying what's the point in going out and picking up broads when you can just stay at home and beat off to a nude flick
